Ben Witherington, New Testament professor at Asbury Seminary weighs in on the topic of guns and religions on his blog.I was surprised when a nationally known conservative megachurch pastor who appeared on Larry King Live a few years back actually claimed that Jesus taught that we as private citizens should have guns and use them when necessary.
Even if you are one that supports the right for private citizens to use guns for protection, Dr. Witherington correctly points out that this stance runs counter to the teachings of Jesus.
Any thoughts on this from the blogosphere?
