Guns do not scare me. People with imaginary friends scare the crap out of me!

.Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.
Our body/mind/life is a glorification of God and unto God. Why would we NOT protect it. I thought this was a good discussion: http://www.biblicalselfdefense.com/
As for a minister carrying...he is no different than any of us. We are all ministers of our faith. We are all the priests of our household. we are all shepherds and must protect our flock. I took a vow (read to me by a minister) to love and protect my wife. God saw fit to NOT make me an ignorant man, and NOT keeping a means to protect myself and my family would be denying the good sense i was blessed with.
Just for clarification: We are NOT under the O.T. Law any more/practice its rituals, it WAS our tutor, and was nailed to the Cross.
NOT saying words to live by, but to live by example/to learn from.
If you read Romans 13:1-7 you will will see we are subject to the governing authorities (1 Peter 2:13-17) and God gives the govt the right for capitol punishment (v-4 of Romans 13). Basically God says do good and you will be fine, but break the law, and by the law, you will be in jail or dead.
Galatians 3:23-25 - But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. 24 Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
Colossians 2:14 - having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
I have a friend who is a minister and he keeps a gun in his office; has a book cut out and the gun is in it. You won't find it, as his library is big. What do we have behind door number 3 Alex
