When the people have no right to bear Arms, should Christians “carry” guns?

The Apostle Paul wrote in a letter to Timothy, “But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially of those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever…” “Provision” includes providing security. In fact our Lord Jesus taught, “If you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.” Quoting Jesus again, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,' and 'your neighbor as yourself,” Are we loving our neighbor when we stand helplessly by and do nothing when he is being murdered or a woman is being raped?
“The right of the people to keep and bear arms”… is not only a God given right supported by the Supreme Law of America but it is a command of God as well.
Should church members be armed?
Author Charl Van Wyk, who shot back at terrorists attacking a church meeting, will be touring the U.S. with tales of his African ministry, including his first-hand experience with Christian churches that aren't prepared to defend themselves.
Van Wyk's story of shooting back on July 25, 1993, when terrorists attacked and killed 11 people and injured another five dozen at a South African church, has been chronicled in his book "Shooting Back: The Right and Duty of Self-Defense."
Police later told him the terrorists confessed that their plan was to kill everyone in the church, possibly 1,000 people or more, and his armed response is credited with saving many lives that day.
Through his ministry with Frontline Fellowship, Van Wyk has been working in regions that could be called "war-torn" sections of Africa, except that in the Congo, for example, there is no one shooting back, no one is armed like he was during the St. James Massacre to prevent further bloodshed. Rather than calling these places "war-torn zones," Van Wyk contends, they should simply be called “Gun Free Murder Zones."
Van Wyk warns of the plight of Congolese churches he has seen in a nation where outlaws carry guns, but the people have no right to bear arms.
After interviewing a woman whose village was raped and terrorized by armed rebels and learning of a pastor who was buried alive while his congregation helpless to fight back, Van Wyk wrote a letter to the editor in the Congo, it began: "It is very difficult for armed thugs to perform such tyranny if the local population were armed and could defend themselves. This kind of thuggery can only take place in a gun-free zone.”
A memory of the massacre in the “Gun Free Zone” of Virginia Tech University comes to mind.
“To create a safe nation, arm the population," Van Wyk said, referring to the recently much-publicized massacre of more than a dozen immigrants in New York, he added, "An armed citizen could have made a difference at Binghamton."
"When last did you hear of a multiple-victim shooting taking place on a firearm range, in a police station or at a gun show, or wherever many firearms are found anywhere in the world? You haven't. That's because criminals prefer unarmed victims, or soft targets," Van Wyk says. "No wonder they love gun control – it makes their satanic work so much easier and their working environment much safer."
Van Wyk's experience in regions of Africa where criminals are armed but the citizenry is not has seasoned his perspective, but he warns that Americans cannot fail to be diligent in protecting their Second Amendment rights.
While we are approaching the 15-year anniversary of what now is known as the St. James Massacre, the United Nations has a disarmament program to remove private firearms from all nations. Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world suffer hideously through political systems, which have imposed a disarmament program based on the lies of banning guns will stop crime. This is reminiscent of Hitler’s deception to confiscate all the guns before his despotic oppression began.
He added, "In South Africa, the communist-inspired African National Congress is imposing a politically motivated disarmament program that will leave law-abiding citizens defenseless.” There is a war of worldviews on gun control being fought right now across the world as well as in America.
"We have no choice except action," he said. "The results of gun control can indeed be catastrophic, e.g., Rwanda was a gun-free zone and so too is Zimbabwe today. This period of our history is decisive. Are our children going to live as slaves or as a free people?"
THE BOTTOM LINE: So what does this have to do with the Christian Church in America? If you don’t know then read this article again only this time replace Congo with America, replace Zimbabwe with America, replace Rwanda with America. There is now, more than ever before a thrust to disarm America and the rest of the world. A gun free Zone is a place where criminals and tyrants rule.
It’s already happening in our schools and in our churches. Read Church Shootings in America.
There is a good reason why the architects of our free ‘Constitutional Republic’ supported our God given responsibility to “keep and bear arms”. “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” (Article II of the bill of rights) It is necessary to the security of a free State. And this my friend, is being illegally infringed upon --- big time --- by the Godless tyrants of our liberal government.
Without it, we not only lose the precious gift of freedom, but the precious life that God gave us as well.
In Proverbs 25:26 God says: “A righteous man who falters before the wicked is like a murky spring and a polluted well.”
It is our responsibility.
It is the law of America and of God…
