(Disclaimer: This transcript is auto-generated and may contain mistakes.) Should a Christian own a weapon? What does the Bible say? Let's look at Luke chapter 22 starting verse 35 And he said unto them when I sent you without purse and script and shoes lack ye anything and they said nothing Then said he unto them But now he that hath a purse let him take it and likewise his script and he that hath no sword Let him sell his garment and buy one if you do not have a weapon go and buy one That's what it's saying here for I say to you that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me And he was reckoned among the transgressors for the things concerning me have an end and they said Lord behold Here are two swords and he said unto them it is enough So he's saying here that you know two weapons is enough. That's plenty. You say well, I'm gonna depend on the Lord to protect me I don't need a weapon. Well, let's look at Proverbs chapter 21 verse 31 The horse is prepared against the day of battle, but safety is of the Lord so you should do everything Humanly possible to prepare against the day of battle, but then you turn it over to the Lord It's in the Lord's hands after that, but you still need to prepare Deuteronomy chapter 23 Thou shalt have a place also without the camp whither thou shalt go forth abroad and thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon And it shall be when thou wilt ease thyself abroad thou shalt dig therewith and shall turn back and cover that which coming from thee Let's talk about here is in the camp You don't use the bathroom in the midst of the camp you go outside and dig a hole and it's assumed here that you have A weapon it's not saying you go get a weapon No, it's it's assumed that you have one and on the weapon on the back of the weapon You know, it had a paddle like a shovel little shovel. So should a Christian on a weapon? Absolutely, you know in the New Testament says if you don't have one go buy one in the Proverbs It says be prepared against the day of battle No Be prepared have a weapon to be able to protect your family Do everything humanly possible to prepare but then turn it over to the Lord's in the Lord's hands after that Be sure to like the video leave your comments below and if you're new subscribe to my channel.
