About This Quote

According to this pastor, the Bible wasn’t meant to be a club. He believes that it was intended to be used as a weapon against evil people. He believes that if you are an evil person, the Bible can be used as a weapon against you. How can anyone take such words seriously? If we use the Bible as a weapon it is no longer the Bible.

It is no longer God’s word. It becomes nothing more than our word and we become nothing more than those who wield it as a weapon. The idea of using the Bible as a weapon comes from a very shallow and very dangerous mindset.

It sets us up to view our enemies as threats and enemies and then we can justify any means necessary to defeat them.
