Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Guns

From the wit and wisdom of New Testament scholar, David Lincicum:

In the spirit of Liberty University, a list of verses in the NT where 'peace' has been replaced with 'gun/s':

Blessed are the gunmakers, for they shall be called children of God.

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, guns among those on whom his favor rests...

Guns I leave you; my guns I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.

...but glory and honor and guns for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek.

To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and guns...

For the kingdom of God is not food and drink but righteousness and guns and joy in the Holy Spirit.

As shoes for your feet put on whatever will make you ready to proclaim the gospel of guns.

Let them turn away from evil and do good; let them seek guns and pursue them.

Go and do likewise,
-anthony

I think we need to give Jerry Jr. a break. He was clearly inebriated (slurring, unkempt, rambling).
