DaHaMac,
We studied that passage this morning in church. Reminds me of the fact that Christ is the only One Who proved the fact that He is the true Savior by His comming back to life even after the medical witness of an unbelieving Roman soldier having thrust a heavy headed spear up under the rib cage and through the heart and at least one lung. Out came the serum and blood clots that proved that He was already expired....
Now for the gun tie in.....That spear was one weapon for which Sanow would have put at the top of the OSS list. Left an entrance wound large enough to put a man's hand through (ie. Thomas).
I don't like these Renesance paintings of Him. Haven't found any that come close to doing the actual historical Jesus justice in they're description. They make him look whimpy.
Just a few observations relating to the topic, off the top of my head:
1. He was for the right to keep AND bear arms (see my signature).
2. He proved His love, even for His enemies, by His actions. He taught on grace AND justice; which is a major theme of the political forum here.
3. He will someday return to carry out justice to those who have hardened their hearts and committed genocide against His people. By doing so, he will rack up more kills than any of the great heros of all wars in history.
Never have I ever learned of a greater Man, nor of a greater God.
Jesus.....I salute You!
