".............The younger man told police his father pulled out a handgun when they met at the church to discuss church attendance. He told officers his father pointed the gun at him and threatened to kill him, his wife and family......."

I'm unsure as to why this is even newsworthy. Like many of us on these forums, the good pastor in question is a good friend and is only exercising appropriate action to ensure a full church and full coffers. Having his son set a bad example like that would enrage even the meekest of us. Anyway - those of us who know the good Pator have been thrreatened with his pistol more than once, am I right? There's nothing to get too upset about here..

Just another example of breaking a Commandment. The idiot did not honor his father. He deserved to be Pistol whipped.

I do not know. I was taught that if the gun comes out of concealment , it gets used. I would of let one rip, at least in the thigh or buttocks. You have to let people know you mean business.

Consider the alternative. The Pastor ignores the transgressions of his son and lets him wallow in Godlessness. Then, the son is killed by God for ignoring His commandments and he ends up in Hell.

It would seem to me at that point, that the father/Pastor would have been guilty of abuse or at least depraved indifference. Letting someone come to harm when you could have easily prevented it from occurring is a punishable offense in this country.

If I was straying from the Lord, I would hope that there would be at least one True Christian™ man who be willing to go the extra mile for my immortal soul. An eternity with God is certainly worth a few moments with a loaded gun pointed in your face.

You can be sure of that Brother!
