Trey Knowles, in his thought-provoking exploration titled “Guns And Wisdom”, delves into the multifaceted relationship between firearms and the pursuit of wisdom. Let’s dissect his insights:

The Nature of Guns: A gun is a weapon of destruction. Its purpose lies in terminating the existence of something by damaging or attacking it. But is this inherently admirable? Trey challenges us to consider whether such an instrument aligns with our values and the spirit of love.

God’s Teachings: The Bible encourages us to focus on what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable. If something doesn’t fit these criteria, should we deem it praise-worthy? After all, our desires should align with our spirit, not coveting worldly possessions.

Spiritual Perspective: Rather than accumulating earthly treasures, we should prioritize treasures in heaven. Our true protection lies in safeguarding our spirit, not just our physical lives.

The Ethical Dilemma: Self-Defense: Some argue that guns are necessary for self-defense. However, Trey reminds us that living by the spirit means not fearing those who can harm the body but focusing on the One who can affect both soul and body.

Overcoming Evil: Instead of seeking vengeance or perpetuating evil, we should strive to live peaceably, even with our enemies. Overcoming evil with good is the path to wisdom.
In Trey’s words, “We don’t fight evil with evil because that produces more evil.” Perhaps true wisdom lies in seeking alternatives to violence and embracing love as our ultimate weapon against darkness.
