Chuck Baldwin Says Its A Biblical Requirement For Everyone To Own An Assault Rifle

[Initech]

Chuck Baldwin, a right-wing pastor and radio host who was the 2008 Presidential nominee of the Christian Reconstructionist Constitution Party, appeared on Sheila Zilinsky’s podcast over the weekend, where he declared that any Christian who does not own the equivalent of an AR-15 assault rifle “has denied the Christian faith” and is “worse than a heathen.”

Citing a passage from 1 Timothy, Baldwin asserted that every adult has “a duty to provide for your family, but you cannot provide protection for your family without being equipped to do so.”

“Therefore, you must have the means of self-defense,” Baldwin said. “And in our society today, that means a firearm in the similitude of an AR-15. Without that, you are not in a position, you are not even able to protect not just your family and your house, but your neighbors, your community around you; that we, as a community of people—that’s the militia—are given the God-given responsibility to protect our communities. That is a biblical requirement.”

Baldwin called on pastors to preach sermons telling their congregations that “if you are not prepared to defend your family and your neighborhood and your community with the force of arms, you have denied that Christian faith and you are worse than a heathen.”

1. So, the truly devout would have tanks??

9. And maybe some rocket launchers, anti-aircraft guns, rocket artilleries, and mobile SAMs.

You know - enough fire power to take out a small army.

11. You've got to have something to defend your personal nuclear facility with

Jesus wants his church defended with thermonuclear weapons.

16. I just keep the jawbone of an ass next to the door. No one messes with me.

2. Jesus prophesied about AR-15s. They are the only guns annointed

With the Holy Spirit. Buy rapture-ready gun anointing oil today. When your life gets rough and your high school education can’t get you through the economic trade war coming,just close your eyes, pray, and stroke your gun.

3. Yup, it's right there in the Old Testament

Thou shalt not kill, unless it's with an AR-15 or equivalent.

5. And Jesus said unto his disciples "I knoweth what thou art thinking."

"Dost thou prayeth six times or only 5?"

4. Is it possible to subject Chuck Baldwin to a 22nd trimester abortion?

7. It's also a "biblical requirement" to kill him if he's ever cut his hair, worn two different fabrics

and that shit is written down all over Leviticus, whereas the shit about machine guns is not mentioned anywhere in biblical text.

[Takket]

8. Even the NRA wouldnt tell you to use an AR-15 for home defense

That isn’t what that weapon is designed to do.

12. Assault rifles were a big item in the Old Testament.

Every shepherd was urged to carry one.

13. I'll go with Henri Nouwen

A far better theologian than whatever Chuck Baldwin is advocating:

"For Jesus, there are no countries to be conquered, no ideologies to be imposed, no people to be dominated. There are only children, women and men to be loved."

[ck4829]

14. "but your neighbors" Except if they're black, GLBTQ, poor, Muslim, liberal, etc. Right, MAGAheads?

[DFW]

15. The God Squad went berserk over this scene, too

[nil desperandum]

17. Some folks like this passage

"Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one."

Folks can find whatever passages they like to support their world view pro or con.

18. He who lives by the assault rifle....eom

19. These assholes worship Ayn Rand and republican "Jesus"
