Tom Walker begins to go to church and carry his Bible as a hypocritical attempt to disguise his guilt and appease his conscience after making a deal with the devil. He seeks to project an image of piety and righteousness to the community, believing that this will protect him from the consequences of his actions. This behavior highlights the theme of moral corruption and the conflict between outward appearances and inner truth in Washington Irving's story. Ultimately, Tom's superficial religiosity serves as a façade that cannot save him from his fate.

'where in the scripture it says carry the Bible to church'?

I do not remember any place in the bible where it says to carry your bible to church. This is because when the scriptures were written, there was no bible per-say. The bible as we know it, was not put together until much later. That being said, it is always good to bring your bible to church, to follow the individual giving the sermon, and to check out the accuracy of the teaching.

Should church security carry a firearm?

Church security should carry a firearm within the same parameters as any security guard. Most security jobs have the possibility of involving use of force, and if the security guard has to defend his life, having a gun would be a great advantage. If you mean should they carry firearms because they are at a church, being at a church does not preclude the possibility of needing to defend your life. Also, the Bible says in a couple of places that self defense is acceptable.
