RWW News: Rick Joyner Tells Christians to Arm Themselves in Preparation for Civil War

Right Wing Watch reports on the extreme rhetoric and activities of key right-wing figures and organizations by showing their views in their own words. In this clip, right-wing pastor Rick Joyner warns that civil war is inevitable and so Christians should not waste time praying to prevent it and should instead focus on getting weapons in preparation for it.

Aren't these 'Christians' already armed to the teeth??

[franklettering]

Whatever happened to the Obama death panels Walmart concentration camps rounding up of evangelicals Hobbit Homes HAARP etc. etc etc. etc.?

[WildwoodClaire]

It must be horrible to perpetually feel as though one is under an existential threat.

[Angelalynx]

He calls for civil war and has no intention of being on the front lines. Typical insurrectionist.

Notice that throughout Mr. Joyner's "need to get prepared rant", Jim Bakker keeps flashing pop-up adds for his own line of emergency food supplies. Jim always was the best marketing strategist among the televangelists. And that's saying something!

So, let me understand... The people trying to migrate to the US to better provide for their families are not infidels, right?

[mikefromwa]

LOL he says that because the country is so divided, "now is not the time to pray for unity." WTF??

“In this dream I saw militias....These weren’t racist militias.” Well, that’s definitely a dream then.

I’m glad this channel exists and I’m sad that it has to

[Waya]

I thought trying to incite violence was a crime. If that's the case, Joyner need to get a visit from the police.

[deepashtray]

"These weren't racist militias.." no, the correct term is racist paramilitaries.

[deepashtray]

Can't have a far right Christian nation when the country is doing just fine, have to instill a sense of fear and instability as an excuse to depose the government in order to keep all the faithful safe and secure; Totalitarian101.

[HasBeensNAddicts]

Man this shit makes me sad. How does a country function with all this bs

[butywbrainz]

This guy needs to be on FBI watch list.

[ashesdowns]

And they'll know we are Christians by our Guns, by our Guns, and they'll know we are Christians by our Guns 🎵🎶

[TheJimb]

This guy sounds more like he WANTS this to happen. Prayers won't work, huh?

[frankmandrake]

As a Christian, a disciple of Christ myself, I ask you to please take a moment to stop & focus on what the scripture tells us about these kinds of actions:

Romans 12:19 - Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”

Jesus even goes as far to say in Matthew 5:38 - “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Recall scripture & its detail to all on such topics & know that God is in control, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge his people.” -Hebrews 10:30

In closing, also note that even when swords were drawn to Jesus & the disciples & Peter struck the ear of a Roman soldier, it was Jesus who said "Peter, NO. He who lives by the sword, shall die by the sword".

Matthew 5:9 - "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God".

John 14:27 - "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid".

Live like Christ & live in Christ, this is not behaviour our Lord & Saviour would condone.

Yesterday I told someone religion is evil. They told me my take was bigoted. I told them to define bigot.

I hate religion, not people for being religious. Why is that hard to understand?

[remixchild]

Please buy my x-hundred dollar bucket of inedible stuff that makes Taco Bell look delicious in comparison.

[benjamindover]

Fear-mongering at its worst.
Remember, these are children coming across the border.
