Three's a charm


I didn't grow up in a household with guns, so it seemed a little strange to me when my father-in-law showed me his extensive collection.  Still, I didn't have anything to do with them until my youngest daughter's husband got me interested.  When I saw this shotgun, I immediately thought how much he would love to have something like this.  Three barrels; WOW!!!  You can't have too much of a good thing; RIGHT?  That may be fine with guns, but NOT with the word of GOD.  Consider just two verses from the Bible...

Galatians 1:6-9 (WEB)


6) I marvel that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ to a different “good news”;

7) and there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you, and want to pervert the Good News of Christ.

8) But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you any “good news” other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.

9) As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any “good news” other than that which you received, let him be cursed.

Its human nature to always want something better; to keep on impoving the current state of things.  The exact opposite should be true with religion; keep it in its purest form, its original one.  How can anyone top the sacrifice of Jesus?  More importantly, why would you want to?  Frankly, I can't think of one good reason.  Anything less than the "Good News" is BAD NEWS!!!  A three barreled shot gun may be a great idea, but an adulterated Gospel, NEVER!!!
