Summary: How should a Christian approach violent video games? Are you a gamer? Mike takes on this discussion. God and Guns Podcast Episode 017 - Video Game Violence Intro: Welcome back to the God and Guns Podcast. My name’s Mike, your host, and I’m flying solo again this week. Zack and I use this podcast to talk about God, guns, and the responsible Christian gun owners interests. Today I’m talking about Video Game Violence And the bandwidth for this episode is brought to you by the Firearms Radio Network. Comedy Corner: Listener Email: -Joel says: “Earlier today I got an idea that I think would be a great episode for you guys. One of the most popular topics for gun folks is every day carry. What to carry, why you carry it, how to carry it, and how to deploy it, these ideas can be talked about and debated for hours. I think it would be really cool if you guys talked about this, but expanding it for Christians with the "every day carry" that Paul described for us, the Armor of God. Many gun owners don't seem to get the importance of carrying your gun with you at all times, and many Christians definitely don't seem to get the importance of being armed with the Armor of God every day. I'm guilty of both of these. Anyway, just thought I'd give you an idea. Have a good day and God Bless.” -Jamie says: “I caught the podcast reply! Thanks for the frankness on the Hi-Point. Ok a Glock it is. "Throw me a clip! I'm out!" We can't use AR's to hunt here so the Ruger Mini's are my starting out hunting / 3-4 gun compromise until I can get an AR just for range fun. Updates;I have been given a Colt 1911 but it is unregistered an in Virginia at the in-laws. So I am trying to find out how to get it delivered here to Ontario, Canada. It looks like the easiest way will be having a US gun shop ship it to a Canadian gun shop near by. Also I have been offered a Smith & Wesson Model 1000 12 ga semi ( got my first turkey last week borrowing it ) at a reasonable price. Only problem is it has a fixed full choke and even with the magazine tubes limiter removed it max's out at 3 & 1. But it is a nice starter! Keep up the great show and the honest advice! God bless.

Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean.If your brother or sister is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy someone for whom Christ died.Therefore do not let what you know is good be spoken of as evil.For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking,
