Love?

[FONT=Georgia, serif]Trayvon Martin, there's a name unheard, just a few days ago as was George Zimmerman and yet I have been following the events that began in Florida and are now occurring world wide.[/FONT]


[FONT=Georgia, serif]Most remarkably I see a proclaimed minister of the Gospel of Jesus, the Christ pushing hatred for white folks. Who? Jesse Jackson! In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus proclaimed, “Blessed are the peacemakers!†Instead, Jesse is making statements, as fact, that he has no method of possibly knowing that put Mr. Zimmerman in the position of being a side kick of the KKK and Jesse is seen at the same location, in the same interview clips and in the news as being along side the Black Panthers. Where is the love?[/FONT]


[FONT=Georgia, serif]There was a notable and feared group of hate mongering racists in this nation, since just after the Civil War, the KKK. Sometime during or just after the reign of Adolf Hitler the American Neo-Nazi Party was born to further the ignorance of the American Racist. All of this took place before I was born. And then, during my life span, a new party of Racists reared their ugly and cruel agenda for the life of this nation, the Black Panthers. Their justification is their predecessors and is not found to be justified in the Words of God, leaving it to be standing on the whims and wishes of Satan, the god of this world, the enemy of the One True God, our Creator, Jesus![/FONT]


[FONT=Georgia, serif]You will notice that I have used Galatians 5:14 to illustrate my point and have wrapped it in some of the verses surrounding it for context. Now, the KKK was born to keep Negro or African Americans pushed down into suppression and the American Neo-Nazi Party was born to keep the Negro down and to get him and his American family on a boat to Africa. Then, in the Sixties, the Black Panthers came into their own and demanded that this nation be split, proportionately, into two nations and uproot Negro families and Caucasians alike to move them into their own nations, pushing Whitey down. Where is the love?[/FONT]


[FONT=Georgia, serif]I have not decided that George murdered Trayvon nor have I decided that Trayvon was murdering George, as of this time, there has not been a trial as of this time and all I have heard is hatred spewed forth like the Fire Hoses held by the Cops in Alabama in the sixties! WHERE IS THE LOVE? Are there any Christians left?[/FONT]

As you say: "Where is the love?" And I agree.

There are many Christians remaining in this world - and on this forum - who say we should not rush to judgment on this or any other legal case. It's up to law enforcement/federal investigators and the courts to try the Martin/Zimmerman case and reach a verdict.

Where is the love for the couple whose home address was aired by Spike Lee; a couple who had nothing to do with the Martin/Zimmerman case; a couple who now live in a small motel room because they cannot live in their own home due to death threats & crowds of people yelling harassing taunts as they tried to go to work or return home. Yes, Mr. Lee has apologized, but has not yet offered to help with the unnecessary expenses this couple now incurs because of Mr. Lee's actions.

Yes, where is the love?

Where is the love in Al Sharpton, who says now that if Mr. Zimmerman is not arrested immediately and found guilty, then riots will break out all over the country in protest.

Sadly, where is the love?

Fear and ignorance is at the root of hate.

Hate starts with hurt that manifest with fear and ignorance into anger. If left unchecked, it rots into hate.

Anyone can be their own victim of this dead end road of hate. It feels good to hate at first, and it can be justified in the minds and hearts when there are more than one willing to take that road that leads to nowhere.

At the end of that road, people will either stay there as a destination, or they will see the only way out to get back to the road of redemption by taking the only way out; the path of forgiveness.

One thing we can be blessed with knowing, is that we don't have to fear hate. We don't have to fear any organisation bent on hate. Because if we do, we only plant the seeds for the same thing. When we don't see the love in others, it is a call to love them.
