Jerry Boykin - EVP at Family Research Council

Retired lieutenant general who was the United States Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence under President George W. Bush

[i] "Now I want you to think about this: where did the Second Amendment come from? ... From the Founding Fathers, it's in the Constitution. Well, yeah, I know that. But where did the whole concept come from? It came from Jesus..."[/i]

[i] The Lord is a warrior and in Revelation 19 is says when he comes back, he's coming back as what? A warrior. A might warrior leading a mighty army, riding a white horse with a blood-stained white robe ... I believe that blood on that robe is the blood of his enemies 'cause he's coming back as a warrior carrying a sword."[/i]

[i] "And I believe now - I've checked this out - I believe that sword he'll be carrying when he comes back is an AR-15."[/i]

[i] "I know, everybody says that was a metaphor. IT WAS NOT A METAPHOR! …And that was the beginning of the Second Amendment, that's where the whole thing came from. ... I know that's where it came from. And the sword today is an AR-15, so if you don't have one, go get one. You're supposed to have one. It's biblical."[/i][/quote]

I guess he didn't read this part in the Bible:

John 18
…10Then Simon Peter drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus. 11“Put your sword back in its sheath!” Jesus said to Peter. “Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given Me?”

The fire and brimstone preaching of Evangelicals is frightening.  It's all about war and hell.  They have completely missed the point of Jesus' sacrifice.[/quote]
