These things are all abhorrent to God. It's right there in the US Constitution.

This makes so much sense. Muslims have the right idea with Sharia law, except they happened to pick the wrong religion. We just need the Christian equivalent of sharia law.



Any additional laws not included to the Bible, even ones to adapt to changing technological advances such as traffic laws, and laws to prohibit the rapidly increased killing capacity of modern day guns and other weapons are unnecessary.


The most important rule that came out of the constitution is well.. a rule telling us that congress can't make a rule to restrict our freedom as it pertains to guns.


Constitution, Congress, three branches of government.. really it seems like the founders shouldn't have bothered.


The constitution could have just said "except for what is explicitly prohibited in the Bible, everything else is allowed.


Yes, this includes guns, and vehicles, and spreading diseases.


No, it doesn't mean we didn't foresee the possible technological advances in guns and vehicles and weapons and diseases etc. and you think surely the founders couldn't have meant that gun. Yes we are including that gun."


Maybe with a few paragraphs going into graphic detail about how no matter how destructive the gun gets it's still allowed.


It's baffling, we have very clear Bible verses saying that the Bible lasts forever and we should trust in the Bible and not on our own understanding, and yet, we constantly hear from "master theologians" explaining how "well surely this rule doesn't apply today in the way the Bible says it meant to apply".


1 Peter 1:24-25

"For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away

But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you."


Proverbs 3:5

"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding."



It's as if God knew these scripture twisters would come along, and put in contingencies just for those people. Yet no matter how many explicit instructions "YES DUMMY THIS RULE STILL APPLIES" explanations are left in the Bible, the scripture twisters will continue to "interpret" the Bible beyond what's recognizable.


And we have documents from the founders clearly saying we're allowed to bear arms, and yet we have politicians claiming they think the founders didn't mean what they wrote down.


Life and our government would be so much simpler if we could just take old rules at face value and not have to worry about "interpreting" them.

Someone reminded me that if a car was going at ∞MPH it would spend 0 time on the intersection and have no chance of an accident.

Conversely, if a car crossed an intersection at 0MPH it would be permanently on the intersection and involved in every accident occurring there. Although cars can't travel at 0 or ∞ for various reasons, the principle is clear. The faster a car goes the less likely it is to have an accident at an intersection.
