If Christianity is all about thou shall not kill and turning the other cheek and shit, why are most god fearing Christians gun enthusiasts?

Genuinely curious.
>>
>>32298297
Because the religious right has no concept of ideological consistency and doesn't give two shits about walking in the path of Christ.

Or because guns are cool, idk.

>>32298297
>Thou shalt not kill
Bad translation, should say not murder
>Turning the other cheek
Long story short, this is about rejecting the idea that people are better than pne another based on class, wealth, etc. It's saying to only accept others treating you as an equal, has nothing to do with submitting to abuse
Also the bible is full of references not only to God's chosen people both conquering and defending, and commands to defend yourself with weaponry
>>32298316
>doesn't give two shits about walking in the path of Christ
When the money changers were engaging in their greed and trickery within the temple, Jesus made a bullwhip and chased their twink asses out. Owning weapons and using them in a righteous way in no way goes against the path of Christ

at the risk of a no true scotsman fallacy, it's probably because they're christian in name only. or they have some severely strange interpretation of scripture that supports a preservation of life.

>thou shall not kill

"Though shalt not murder" is a more accurate translation of the surviving texts. Both the new and old testaments frequently justify the use of lethal force in various scenarios.

>turning the other cheek

This is one of the most misinterpreted quips in world history. In ye olden days being slapped backhand was incredibly disrespectful, whereas a forehand slap wasn't quite as severe. By "turning the other cheek" (presenting your face at a different angle) you are forcing the person to show you slightly more respect than immediately prior. It's a subtlety lost on modern man. It should not in any way be interpreted as God demanding that you be a submissive bitch to someone aggressing on you.

Don't let anyone tell you that Christianity is a passive, pacifistic religion.

Unlike Judaism and Islam Christianity decided to go more covert.

The twelve apostles especially follow this train of though by splitting up and creating clandestine churches. This is why pride frowned upon in the west. Showing who you are can get you killed. Especially when the the whole roman army and Jewish community is out to get you.

Its only when Christianity met paganism did this change. Even its still in upper limits of violence is when it is forgivable to kill.

Its better than the other two choices whole literally say goyim or infidel are less than dogs and can be killed.

Either way it says something when right of the bat, cock gargling UP, implies guns = violence.

If anything this fag needs to worry about himself

No, it's not. That is a retarded anachronistic justification for violence. The passage is crystal clear:

38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

>But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
>And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
>And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
>Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

It is obviously talking about nonviolence and passive acceptance.

Never said it, never played it, but if someones faith intimidates you that much maybe you need to re-evaluate yourself or go binge watch the amazing banana to make you feel better.

very few people in the 1st world are ignorant to them, nor would they have the faith to purposefully kill themselves in order to specifically go to heaven, a heaven they are ignorant of existing.

Unless that isnt your argument, because if it is its incredible stupid.

That ended pretty quick, since subsequent Christians realized that universal martyrdom would be a great way to make the religion go extinct. So they satisfied themselves by paying homage to the martyrs but largely avoiding pacifism, which led to the modern equivocation of Christians who support self-defense (and even offense) while claiming to follow Jesus' teachings.

It's understandable, since Jesus-style pacifism is retarded and unsustainable. It's just that the historical and theological revisionism of modern-day Christians is pathetic. The fundamental assumption is that anything Jesus was reported to have said was perfect and deliberate, so they'll go through as much mental gymnastics as possible to make it so that Jesus was saying things in line with their own particular ideals.

Jesus was not an advocate of nonviolence. He never said a word about it. In fact, we have him on record behaving violently -- in all four gospels. While he often avoided violence, this does not mean he taught an ethic of non-violence.

If we are going to set the record straight, we need to look at those parts of the gospels that are used to support the non-violence claim, as well as those that refute it.

Jesus taught, "If anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other also" (Matthew 5:39). However, the word used here is the Greek ῥαπíζω (hrapizo), which refers here to an open hand strike. Jesus is saying, "If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to him the other." This is not about self-defense at all; a slap in the face is an assault on your honor. Jesus was prohibiting escalation, not a response to a violent assault.

>tl;dr read the bible. It's packed from cover to cover with hardcore men of god who slayed their enemies without mercy or remorse. In fact, nearly every man featured in the bible was literally a soldier, a warlord, a tactician, or a murderer.

It's not a proof in the way you probably expect a proof. Nothing is really proven when we get down to it. Even believing our sensory experience requires a leap of faith in logical terms. Anyway, Aquinas was correct. Deal with it.

34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn

“‘a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
36 a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’[c]

That passage says that even enemies could Ben united in Christ and friends could be divided if they weren't believers. Basically the same thing as "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb". It's not even about violence.

How would it have been verifiable? In the 2nd century, no extant person was alive who knew Jesus. It was all based on hearsay. Belief, as you know, is a powerful thing. But powerful belief does not make something true.

Again, if you're not willing to provide an argument as to why your god is real and everyone else's is bullshit, then we aren't going to get anywhere.

Those verses, if they even existed, would not contradict the argument, because they cannot resolve the contradiction that is written.

> And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; mI will make him an help †meet for him. 19 nAnd out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and obrought them unto ||Adam to see what he would call them

So God created animals everywhere except Eden, and then he decided to create some for Adam? I guess that's one way of weaseling out of the contradiction.

>>32299018
>What you are asking is unreasonable.

>>32299021
That principle was underlying all of Aquinas' actions. He was not just some deist philosopher who rationally came to the conclusion that an entity (or entities) of supreme power must be the prime cause of everything. He was a Christian first, and created his "proofs" by working his way backward from that conclusion.

I beleive in Christianty, not wiccah. If youre looking for that, id seek help.

Asking someone to put faith in ehat they cant see isnt unreasonable, it happens virtually everyday.

People make companies, ask for stocks, and people put their faith in the company, hoping for a better return than what they put in. How is this differant from Christianity? All God is asking you to do is put a little faith in him and see what he can do, just as an investor does.

Actually it is. So long as all gods are perfectly equal, and have an exactly equal part of every
action they do (at the same time, naturally), then they hold within his framework. This makes them functionally no different than a single god, but that's not the issue here. Wars were fought over such minor details of the nature of the Trinity, so it's a significant point.

How and in what way is God magic? Are you refering to healing people? God made us, he can sure as hell put us back together when we fall apart.

Are you refering to him making us? He made the dust, he sure as hell can make something out of it.

Are you refering to making the dust? Magic can't make something out of nothing. Stop beleiving in the kid version of magic, that all redirection, son. Non of that is real.

Are you refering to him being there at all? Now youre just refusing to beleive in him because youre stubborn. Which, in that case, theres no point arguing. Youre just going to use the same logic as before. Youre not changing your argument, your reusing a stale idea.

>Are you refering to him being there at all?
Ultimately yes, because this is the fundamental assumption. Refusing to believe this is not stubbornness any more than your refusal to believe in Krishna is. It's skepticism. It's the demand for evidence from the person who proposes an idea. That evidence has yet to be presented.

This is a cop-out and you know it. I ascribe deliberate intent to every single mistake I ever make by claiming it's symbolic, or motivated by a deeper meaning that you simply cannot fathom. If you dismiss all standards with which we can measure god, then you are simply declaring that he is perfect and it must be accepted just because. It's explicitly not an argument, it is a just-so statement.
