A better answer would have been “I’m not very religious and don’t know much from the Bible.” Unless this was just a bit he was putting on for the camera (which I think is possible). ---

Well, yes, of course AI is going to give you an explanation of the use of the phrase. That has nothing to do with whether the phrase is actually used regularly, or indeed has ever been used by anyone before this. ---

The suspect fled the hospital after the shooting and was later taken into custody nearby. So there was a third gun recovered (one to each of the two officers and another unknown gun). To me it sounds like the police didn’t bother to thoroughly search the suspect for a gun when they arrested him for robbery. ---

> [@Chronos](#): > > I’m not sure if there’s anything the two religions actually have in common. According to [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion_theology), those professing to believe in the Dominion theology ARE Christians. Other sources express the same sentiment. These clowns are Christians who believe they have the God-given right to rule over everything in God’s creation.
