Hmm.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. Matthew 16:25
Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. Luke 17:33

That’s the beauty of this country, we’re free to believe what we want and live that way as well, at least for the moment.

Um, I'm pretty sure your Biblical quotes are inapposate to prepping. They speak to a deeper issue, to wit those who foresake Him to save themselves are lost...

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. — Matthew 16:25
Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. — Luke 17:33

Spirited: My thoughts often meditate on the meaning of those particular verses, especially with regard to these times.

As for the preppers, it seems to me that only with hardened hearts can they feed themselves while all around them are those who are starving. Additionally, even if they manage to hold off marauding “zombies” as they call them, their fortresses will collapse under the fire-power of opportunistic invasive forces such as the Mexican or even the Chinese army.

Just my thoughts for what they are worth.

A prudent man foresees the difficulty ahead and prepares for them. The fool goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.

Not preparing for things is not biblical.

How does that equate with the "apocalypse" scenarios this guy is defending against? Please keep things in context, lest those who are new to/ignorant of the Bible get the wrong impression. There's a BIG difference in preserving your life by denying Jesus and by thwarting nature and men who would do you harm.

So you’re saying its biblical to let your family starve to death?
