This week we are looking at another article written by the late Rev. Richard Bolland from the book “Duty to Defend”. When Jesus told his disciple in the Garden of Gethsemane to put his sword back in it's place, was he warning all Christians to disarm?

Some anti-gun Christians have argued that since we confess that our help comes from the Lord (Psalm 121:2) then we don't need guns to help protect us. To be consistent, one would have to make the same argument about any number of earthly tools that we rely on. Rev. Tyrel Bramwell breaks down the faulty logic in this claim in another from our series on the book “Duty to Defend.”

n this week's episode, we continue our walk through the chapters of the book “Duty to Defend” with a review of Luke 22:38. When the disciples present two swords to Jesus, He replies “it is enough.” Does that mean there is some heavenly restriction on the number of firearms we may own? Is that a minimum? Lloyd digs into the context.

In this week's episode, we continue to look at articles from my book, “Duty to Defend,” with an chapter by Rev. Gaven Mize. In 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, St. Paul speaks of spiritual weapons and spiritual warfare. Do these verses mean that Christians should give up earthly weapons and defense against earthly threats?

In our continuing look at my book, Duty to Defend, Lloyd reviews one of his own entries starting on page 104. Did Jesus (referring to Isaiah 53) mean to suggest that he would be “numbered with the transgressors” because his disciples carried swords?

In this week's episode, we continue our walk through the book “Duty to Defend” with a chapter by Rev. Drew Newman on Matthew 10:28. Gun-control Christians have argued that gun owners only own guns because of fear. And since we should not fear the home invader who can only kill our bodies, we should not own guns to defend our lives. Makes sense, right? Right. Rev. Newman explains the context and why those arguments fail.

    This week we are continuing our series on the book “Duty to Defend” with an article by Rev. George T. McCall. Matthew 7:12 tells us that we should do unto others as we would have them do unto us. Does this mean we should avoid owning a firearm for self-defense? Since we don't want to be shot, should we avoid firearms so that we do not shoot someone else?

    We are continuing our series on the book “Duty to Defend” with an article by Rev. Guillaume Williams (of online hangout fame). Psalm 144:1 (“Blessed be the Lord…who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle”) has been used as a proof text for gun rights. But are we training for war? Is the criminal our enemy? Or is this just a careless misuse of God's word to support gun ownership? se of the verse?
