Christian liberty is for freedom from sin, not for license. "Those who are earnest in their repentance will trend toward a decreased degree and frequency of their offenses.... The degree of rebuke [from the church] is to be proportional to the offender's resistance to being corrected... If rebuke is resisted further disciplinary action is to be used, up and to the point of excommunication." Holy Confessions, pg 362-363.
"The Christians [in Madagascar] consider the United States to be a slothful and ungodly nation... making the U.S. a prime mission field." "The Cruciform Way" by Thomas, pages 156-7.
Enforcing gun laws better would reduce crime. "A buyer fails a background check... 1% of transactions.... Crime is densely concentrated in specific social networks such as gangs as well as in specific locations... send more officers to the problem areas." "Our Unenforced Gun Laws" - National Review, June 12, 2023, pg 17.
