The united methodist church is also extremely anti-gun. I believe they may have been behind origin of handgun control inc. Any believers that need a new home, check out the missouri synod lutherns. Bible based, and conservative.

--- "The united methodist church is also extremely anti-gun. I believe they may have been behind origin of handgun control inc. "

Went looking, and found....

8. Advocate for regulation

---Finally, we are called "to advocate at the local and national levels for laws that prevent or reduce gun violence." Some of these measures include:

---Universal background checks on all gun purchases, ensuring that all guns are sold through licensed retailers, and establishing a minimum age of 21 years for a gun purchase or possession.

---Ratifying the Arms Trade Treaty.

---Prohibiting those convicted of violent crimes, those under restraining order due to the threat of violence, and those with serious mental illness that may be a danger to themselves or others from purchasing a gun.

---Ensuring greater access to services for those suffering from mental illness.

---Banning magazine and weapons designed to fire multiple rounds each time the trigger is pulled.

---Promoting technologies that help law-enforcement agencies trace crime guns and promote public safety.

I was born and raised LCMS. My father was a pastor. They are indeed very careful with their doctrine.

...on the other hand, they are no longer too happy with me. I don’t think Genesis is an accurate portrayal of Creation, and it disturbs them with what I can clearly see in Genesis 6:1. Anyone who uses the Bible as a Technical Manual of the Universe is making a terrible mistake.
