God, Guns And Country- Literally

TW: We have a diverse country. A truly great thing. But I really do not get certain things. And of course if this article was from a far away country with maybe a different religion we would probably find this a bit daft or worse.

From ABC News:
"A pastor in Kentucky is redefining the tradition of wearing your Sunday best to services by encouraging his congregation to strap on holsters and bring their weapons to church.

Pastor Ken Pagano of New Bethel Church in Louisville, Ky., says that he organized an "Open Carry Celebration" to promote responsible gun ownership.

"As a Christian pastor I believe that without a deep-seeded belief in God and firearms that this country would not be here," Pagano told ABCNews.com. "I'm not ashamed of that fact. I'm proud of it."


The celebration scheduled for Sunday, June 27, will feature
YouTube videos promoting gun safety and will ask congregants to join in singing patriotic songs, according to Pagano.
A $1 raffle to win
a free handgun will also be part of the festivities."

The New Apostolic Reformation branch of the Assemblies of God have been preaching "another Jesus" for quite some time now -- their teachings bear very little resemblance to anything found in the Bible.

Here's what St. Paul said about people who do that:
"But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed." Galatians 1:8, 9
