>>64184182yeah. and they do, at least every church I've been to.

>>64184284So when are we gonna shoot Bibi?
>>64184182My church has cops and security guards but no armed regular citizens. Would be kino if it did and I would certainly join

>>64184415no just more shilling and slide threads than usual recently
>>64184182>Would we have to bring back a modern version of the Templar Order?No, because most churches that have armed security just organize a team locally. Any church with such a team would be wise to mandate training.
>>64184422>i'll allow everyone else to die ok retard
What kind of training would you need for crowded places?
>>64184182 >Should churches have armed volunteers?Regular churches, sure, why not. Megachurches, hell no. The last thing I need is a power-hungry megachurch pastor sending squads after anyone who didn't tithe.>Would we have to bring back a modern version of the Templar Order?Not as easy as it sounds, we have too many different sects (Baptist, Anglican, Calvinist, Pentecostal, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Methodist, etc.); a Templar order would only make sense under 1 unified church like the Catholics had before they let all the corruption in. I can imagine the pro-LGBT Lutherans sending their forces out against the anti-LGBT sects (pretty much most of them). If Martin Luther could see what has become of the church he founded, he'd be on his knees begging the Catholics for forgiveness.
>>64184422You’re not obligated to let someone kill you. Thou shall not murder doesn’t mean you can’t defend yourself

>>64184558Why do you care? >no monks or religious ordersNobody tell the amish or quakers, but whatever keeps America at the forefront of your every waking moment.
>>64184182Surely no one has ever considered such a thing

>>64184182Pretty sure the Templar's, Teutonic Order, Knights of Malta, etc. all still exist except they are pretty much similar to how charities act. (Just helping the poor and none of the military order stuff.)

>>64184490>If Martin Luther could see what has become of the church he founded, he'd be on his knees begging the Catholics for forgiveness.We already know how Luther responded to radical Protestants taking his teachings further than he approved, and it wasn't by returning to Catholicism. >Therefore let everyone who can, smite, slay and stab, secretly or openly, remembering that nothing can be more poisonous, hurtful or devilish than a rebel. It is just as when one must kill a mad dog; if you do not strike him, he will strike you, and a whole land with you ... Let there be no half measures! Crush them! Cut their throats! Transfix them. Leave no stone unturned! To kill a peasant is to destroy a mad dog! If they say that I am very hard and merciless, mercy be damned. Let whoever can stab, strangle, and kill them like mad dogs.

>>64184422I've met people with that mindset; it's dangerous. They also tend to be generally inconsistent and unreliable in my experience. I kinda just distance myself from people if they spew that sort of shit.

>>64184182Setting aside my support for bulldozing Abrahamic places of worship especially the ones that worship a Jew, I believe in letting people hire private security guards.I hope the European folk religious places of worship such as the ones under the Asatru Folk Assembly hire guards or have members with weapons in case some leftoid lunatic or Christboi wannabe-templar attacks.
>>64184693>worship a Jewthe Bible is a collection of stories about why the jews suck, and about how they ultimately killed there own savior and turned there backs on there God. you would know that if (you) weren't a re**it tier cringe lord faggot basement dwelling retard.

It dispersed after napoleon took malta, and now there's a load of successor splinters instead, including the sovereign military order of malta. They're all catholic or protestant as far as i know though, no orthodox.
>>64184182plenty of off duty cops go to Mass. my local parish priest has I think a month meeting with men who are interested in security, cant remember what its called but its probably going over drills if theres an active shooter, been a thing since liberals starting burning down churches a few years ago in Canda and probably longer, plus I remember having increased "security" after Roe V Wade and all the anti-catholic anti-Christ hate. and Im not even in a big city. plenty of guys conceal carry at Mass, pretty easy to do when the men wear tailored jackets no matter how hot it gets. ask me how I know.

The Republican party has been hijacked as a cult for Trump instead of being a vehicle to protect gun rights and promote small business. The pandemic killed the ability for a whole generation to go outside and socialize with others. Community in general is a dying concept. Everything is a trend designed to appeal to the broad masses

Mosques in the USA are regularly shot up and burned, people also break into the homes of Muslims and murder them. This happens a lot in the USA. Security is a concern and is often allocated for in the budget. Cameras, locks, sometimes even an armed guard, private security.Here is a private security guard that took the Shahada and accepted Islam after 7 years on the job protecting the Masjid. That is a long time to think about becoming a Muslim. He broke down crying and was embraced with love.I am an American Muslim and am building a Masjid, have to consider security as well. Would like to be involved with local church leaders and have positive inter-faith relations and do good deeds for each other and the community.

The Poor Fellow Soldiers of Jesus Christ was a better name. I call myself one, privately(or anonymously). I have The History of the Knights Templars by Charles G. Addison but I didn’t finish it. A very dry read with a horrific ending I’m already aware of.Also worth reading is the catechisms on honorable warfare and C.S. Lewis’s essay Why I Am Not a Pacifist.
>>64187096Paragraph 2309 of the Catechism outlines four conditions for the moral legitimacy of using military force for self-defense: Lasting, grave, and certain damage: The harm inflicted by an aggressor on a nation or community must be of a serious and definite nature.Last resort: All peaceful means for resolving the conflict must have been exhausted or proven ineffective.Serious prospects of success: There must be a reasonable probability that military action will succeed.Proportionality: The use of armed force must not create evils and disorders that are greater than the evil being eliminated. The power of modern weaponry is a heavy factor in evaluating this condition.I am Protestant but am aware of the lack of many theologically sound writings that are ignored by our many denominations.God bless.

>>64184422>>64184804I use the book of Nehemiah as a reference point for the purpose of self-defense. Nehemiah 4:15-23 talks about how the men and builders were armed and watchful while they rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem. Verse 17b "...The laborers who carried the loads worked with one hand and held a weapon with the other."
>>64184302Most of the Methodist churches I’ve been to will have one or two uniformed off duty cops, typically part of the congregation who pull security on Sunday. Then add in one or two hired armed security personnel, plus a few deacons that are CC’ing. That’s not to mention any member of the congregation that might CC just because it’s their right to do so. The largest church I’ve ever attended a service at was a Baptist mega church that I’m sure you’ve heard of, and they had the city’s local SWAT team captain coordinating a security detail that would make most first world heads of states feel pitiful by comparison. Before you all lose your shit, no I am not nor have I ever been a member of them Baptist party. I spent the night at a school friend’s place and went to church with their family in the morning.
>>64184422I go to church buck ass naked and armed because I follow the word of Jesus, to an insanely literal degree, when he tells us to sell our cloak and buy a sword if we have none. Among members of my congregation I am known as Big Deacon Rocks Out with His Flocks Out. Yes, I have a G40 because Glock size matters. Ask your mom.
>>64185800Sounds about right. Tbh Germans really are the worst offenders. Whatever the gov' says, they WILL follow. It's really in their blood or idk.
Wow you guys really don't know comparative theology.>>64187954>Evangelicals are a subset of protestantsFalse. This would be like saying cath and ortho are the same (either being a subset of the other). Evangelicals believe in a lot of very distinct things that all protestants don't.>>64187997Baptists are almost universally evangelical. They say they aren't, but they are, lmao. Baptists are the brainlets of theology and arguments anyway, they kinda suck at building coherent arguments.>>64188827>The Evangelicals are ProtestantAgain, i don't think this will hold up. Most baptists and evangelicals have such distinct, irreconcilable differences to the rest of christianity, that sooner or later we will recognize them as separate. Obviously if you're a cath you likely will just define anything as protestant that isn't cath or ortho, but that's similarly retarded.This whole conversation is getting even worse when you consider that most people think Mormonism is protestant (when in fact it has nothing to do with christianity, it's about as christian as islam is, which is to say, not at all). Same with JWs.Anyway, i don't want to rip rifts into christianity; people like their denominations and that's fine, as long as everyone recognizes and tries to follow our lord and saviour Jesus Christ we should be OK. Bless you all folks, i know these arguments can feel heated but I hope you all are blessed with lots of kids so that our children can carry on the age old tradition of eternally bickering about details, thus showing our dedication to the cause.
>>64190597>Evangelicals believe in a lot of very distinct things that all protestants don't.Every single Protestant denomination has beliefs that don't align with the other denominations. By your logic no Protestant is Protestant.>Obviously if you're a cath you likely will just define anything as protestant that isn't cath or orthoI'm not Catholic. I'm a nondenominational Christian who was raised in an evangelical church. That's how I know that evangelicals are Protestants. I get it; you don't want to associate with Lutherans because they are pro-LGBT, and you don't want to associate with Calvinists because of their predestination thing. Let me explain something: none of the Protestant sects agree on everything, but what sets them apart from Catholics and Orthodox is that all Protestants believe in Scripture as the ultimate authority for faith and practice, faith for salvation, grace, Christ as the mediator, and the glory of God, while the Catholics and Orthodox think Scripture is equal to sacred tradition. You may not associate with the denominations you disagree with, but following Scripture while rejecting the Pope makes you a Protestant.>This whole conversation is getting even worse when you consider that most people think Mormonism is protestantYeah, that's because Mormons falsely claim they are Christian. The fact that they hold Joseph Smith as an idol rather than rebuking Joseph and being loyal to Jesus alone makes them not Protestant and not Christian.

>>64190597I don't think you know what Protestantism is - it's everyone who broke away from the Catholic church during the reformation, that's the entire qualifier. Their beliefs aren't uniform, there are notable theological differences between Lutherans, Calvinists, Anabaptists and any groups that might have splintered or developed from these.Evangelicalism is a movement within these protestant denominations, mostly defined by the emphasis on personal spiritual experiences and conversion (the whole "born again" thing). Very notably, it doesn't include any specific theological beliefs of its own and is instead entirely centered around the manner in which its adherents experience their faith

I worked medical standby at a large church for a while. The pastor was great and his sermons didn’t tow the line of “accept everyone as they are because that is what loving your neighbor means”. Dude literally called out the fact that just because public acceptance of homosexuality and prosperity “gospel” is the modern normal it is still strictly prohibited by biblical statements. And, suprise! He got death threats. For actually teaching from the Bible and not altering the message to fit societal expectations. He wasn’t an extremist or a hater. At all. He specifically stated that ultimate judgement is not ours to make, but is solely up to God. And, people wanted him dead for teaching from the Bible anyway. There were probably a half dozen or more guys that carried pistols under their blazers that I met and none of them were stupid or arrogant or otherwise untrustworthy men. When I went back to the church later as just a dude in a pew I carried myself. You have the right to protect yourself anywhere you go. Church, post office, voting booth, wherever. Knights Templar my ass. How about you don’t get to just kill people without risk of getting shot yourself.

>>64185809What cunt are you from?
>>64187206no there isn't lol. There's Catholics, Orthodox, Protestants. saying there's a difference between protestants and evangelicals is protestant cope. if I had to define the 3 branches, Catholics are subject and in communion with the Pope, the Orthodox are the Eastern Christians with valid holy orders , Eucharist, etc but not subject to the Supreme Pontiff (in schism), and the Protestants stem from the Protestant Revolution in the 16th century and do not have vaild holy orders or any sacraments besides baptism (assuming youre using the Trinitarian formula AND believe in the trinity, so of course Mormon baptisms are not valid for example) and matrimony. No, Mormons and those other guys I cant remember the name of right now that call themselves Christian are not, because they don't believe in the Trinity. Protestants are still Christian, but obviously with many flawed understandings. I reccomend submitting to Rome and the Church founded by Christ built upon the rock of St Peter (which outside of the Church there is no reasonable hope of salvation, read the Sylabbus of Errors), but all in God's good time, friend. May God bring us all closer to Himself.
>>64184182I go to a Catholic church we kind of do. If you ask the Priest he'll talk with you for a few minutes to make sure you aren't insane then give you permission to carry. They actively encourage it. I live in a town with very high carry rates, I'd guess there's at least 15-20 people who are armed in every Mass.
>>641841822 people killed in some church Everyon panics Calls for gun control by both left and the right Now people want armed idiots in churches
>>64196815We're all armed idiots. We have a right to be.

>>64184182>Should churches have armed volunteers?No.They should be forced conscripts or levies.
>>64185311>Gun culture has been in decline.Maybe it's a you problem >The youtubers that taught the lifestyle and responsibility have moved on.We all knew Harrell would die someday. We can still watch his youtubes. Everybody else is a roided clout chasing retard.>People make less money nowadays and can't afford the hobby as much.Should have job hopped like a lot and remortgage at lower rates.>The Republican party has been hijacked as a cult for Trump instead of being a vehicle to protect gun rights and promote small business.$0 tax stamps says otherwise.>The pandemic killed the ability for a whole generation to go outside and socialize with others.Only pussies stayed home. Rest of us got stronger communities. Pussy>Community in general is a dying concept.You sound like a pussy assed ledditor

>>64200058>plenty of guys conceal carry at Mass>ask me how I knowbecause I've CC'd every time I've gone to Mass ever since I got my permit. only time I don't CC is if I'm gonna go out and have some drinks.
Anyone else feel like evangelicals are the pagans of Christendom? Like they're just worshiping Jesus, like one would worship an idol or the sun?
>>64184394lack of practice drawing is what killed him.it doesn't matter where you put the damn thing, if you have to think through the draw, you're not ready to draw.
