Christians should not own and drive tanks

Now, let me tear his heinous lines into paper shreds: 1. Old Testament people are allowed to own private property. Not Christians. True Christian economics is Anarcho-Fideism, in which all property is held in common by all believers. This is demonstrated conclusively by Acts 2:44 according to the regulative principle: "And all who believed were together and had all things in common. " "All things in common" means owned in common. It does not mean they all liked experimental Jazz music and the comedy stylings of Louis Black. . http://lewisblack.com... Every last jot and tittle of the Torah was done away with by Jesus Christ. "Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the Torah through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God. " (Romans 7:4) 2. Self-defense is done away with by the death of the Torah that occurred in Christ. "But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. " (Matthew 5:39) "Then Jesus said to him, 'Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword. '" (Matthew 26:52) Nothing demonstrates a lack of faith in Christ Jesus more than owning weapons for self-defense. Who can separate us from the love of Christ, that we would need a tank? As the Apostle Paul writes, "For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. " (Romans 8:38-39) What idiot believes he has Christ on his side, then gets in a tank to preserve his sinful flesh? Death has no sting for eternally alive in Christ Jesus: "O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting? " (1 Corinthians 15:55) Shall a tank preserve the lives of those who are already dead? What missiles can touch the soul that is in his hands? "For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. " (Colossians 3:3) No wonder the world is so full of unbelief when "Godly" Christian men get into tanks to keep them from going to the heaven they believe in! Can anyone seriously put any trust in such cowards? The Christians which won Rome were such that they gladly put their heads beneath the Roman swords, sang hymns of victory before the masses of dogs, wolves, lions, bears. They were no sissy-butts crawling into tanks to preserve their lily white air-conditioned flabbed bellies -- full of Marie Calendar frozen dinners, no doubt. Let anyone who would put his trust in a pile of metal be anathema. 3. Tanks are cool, huh? Let's see what Jesus says about how cool tanks are: "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal" (Matthew 6:19) Your foolish, ignorant tank will one day be dust. However "cool" it may be today, it will be ashes tomorrow. Knowing this, how can you call it "cool"? The only "cool" is that Holy Ruach which stills the fire of hell that awaits us --- everything else is vanity (Ecclesiastes 1) Let every Christian who trusts in weapons, in tanks, in drones, in Nuclear weapons and the protectorate of filthy secular governments be anathema. May the stain of Adam never leave these sons of disobedience and may they rot in hell with the prince of the power of the air, their worm ever gnawing and the fire ever burning before the presence of the Lamb. (Ephesians 2:2, Mark 9:44, Revelation 14:10) Gnaw worm! Gnaw! "When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways (tanks). " (1 Corinthians 13:11)
