My Pastor's Take on Guns

[jcizzle]

It's at about the 17:20 mark http://www.yok.to/3yWyCz

This isn't the first time he's mentioned it. When my wife and I first visited the church, first time I heard him speak, he pretty much told the occupyers to suck it up and go to work and said he'd always fight for his 2A rights. I looked at my wife and said "I think we've found a church home". :-) He's not sticking with the PC crap. Just saying what he thinks. I go to the new campus they have in Edmond. He said here, he thinks any state that won't let you carry a gun on you shouldn't be allowed to be a part of the United States of America.

Shake that man's hand for me......That is my kind of Pastor. My Pastor asked me to carry when I go to church....although I work security there now.

I don't agree with his anti-OWS stance but am certainly in agreement with his 2A stance.

Not really a fan of his style though. But I'm not really a fan of church in general right now.

Crow is big into that prosperity gospel garbage. Kinda like all those people on TBN. As long as you're sending them money then it's all good. No use for him.

I agree with you 1000%. Did Hell just freeze over? I think that is a con and a heresy.

Funny. Folks think bc he teaches some prosperity, he just wants your money. His is the only church I've ever visited that didn't teach that the 10% tithe was the only old testament law that Jesus didn't fullfil with his death and resurrection. Every other church I've ever been in holds on to that one in order to scare people out of their money. Crow teaches to just give what you feel in your heart to give. Jesus took care of your 10% tithe law, everything from here on out is an "offering".

I also don't understand why teaching that God is less likely to bless you when you aren't following him is considered some heretic "prosperity gospel". That's like saying you can't spend all day at work looking at pron instead of finding customers then be upset that God didn't send customers into your door. You have to do the things God wants you to do if you expect Him to bless you.

What is "prosperity gospel" anyway? Is it just saying God wants to bless you? If so, isn't that what the gospel is? I've messed up. I'm a sinner. Jesus dies to pay my debt with me being able to do nothing in return. That's prosperity right there. I guess your churches don't teach that. But then again, maybe they teach you can save yourself with your works rather than His grace. BC I don't know about you but I know what has happened in my life and I believe that His grace is definitely an undeserved gift and thus prosperous news.

Why does God bless corrupt politicians and corrupt businessmen?

Why does God bless corrupt politicians and corrupt businessmen?

We look at things real time and how it effects us. We look at things like, "I'm not as bad as that guy". God looks at things eternally. There may be one person who was blessed even accidentally by the corrupt person's success. What is one soul worth? Often people look at blessings as being just money. I'm blessed beyond belief but when some others look at it, they may see my little house and small bank account and think "poor Christian". You may see what outwardly appears to be the blessing of corruption, but there is more to the story that you don't know. Even if it's eternally.

It's not about what's fair and what's not. God isn't always what we consider "fair". He is alway right and just. If He were "fair", we'd all go to hell.
