Is it wrong to train my young crusaders (kids) how to become proficient in various types of weaponry?

Question

So they may slay their oppressors in battle one day?

And quench their thirst with the blood of the Islamofundies who sought to burka my daughter and turn my son into a suicide bomber?

Riiiiiiight. So it's always cool for Islam to want to attack us, but once we grow a set and decide to prepare for anything they can dish out, we get labeled evil and bad.


"Islamapologetics".

Answer 1

Better to be safe then sorry.

Weaponry according to me: Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

Answer 2

Cause slaying them with various types of weaponry in the name of the Christian God is oh so much more tasteful than them blowing you to bits in the name of the Muslim God.

But then neither of you would be adhering to your religions which preach tolerance, forgiveness and to love thy neighbour. There's really no getting through to some people is there?

Answer 3

Are you talking about Ephesians 6?

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people. 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.

Answer 4

Forgiveness would be better--your children should not be taught to get revenge for your thoughts. Teach the child to love and show empathy. Replace hate with love

Answer 5

this sounds very BAD. christians are supposed to be peaceful, not training to murder others. do not trian your kids with weapons to attack. though you may teach them self-defense, but make sure they understand the correct way to use this skill.

Answer 6

Have them watch "Mail Call" on the History Channel. Discusses weapons and whatnot.

Answer 7

I see nothing wrong with teaching a child how to use various types of weaponry as long as you teach them the discipline that goes with it.

Answer 8

perhaps you should train them to be peaceful , loving , caring, and charitable. the gain will be much more. As much as you disrespect Islam, I still love you, Qur'an teaches me love people who hate, for the sake of God, for me fortunately , this is easy.

Answer 9

nope, just as long as their not slaying anyone illegally
hmmm im gonna have to edit my answer to your an ignorant racist and i wouldn't care if terrosists got you because your degrading muslims and our entire society.

Answer 10

That last added part makes it wrong to train kids to kill.
