White police vs. American blacks

I think that’s the problem JLB. Some people think it’s ok to beat up on women or commit sexual assault without any consequences. When they get called on it, they don’t think they have to take accountability for their actions... it’s always somebody else’s fault.

This whole BLM movement has really gotten out of hand. With the Democratic Party pandering for the black vote, they have really empowered the movement while turning a blind eye to the destruction this movement is causing.


Many Americans are really waking up to this reality.

I just ordered a huge shipment of red pills for Rollo.

Im prescribing 20 a day for him for the next 10 years.
 
I'm not arguing with you, I am seriously asking you to remove your worldview blinders and see Jesus.
is calling a cop to take out a violent man on you behalf not the same?

you do know that if the husband or wife whose family was murdered he was allowed to be the avenger of blood and that was the accident ,of it was cold blood then the upon the judgment the city judged that person .stoning I believe .

yet those verses can't be about that .look I have been stalked ,robbed.to me calling the law to use a gun to prevent you from acting is no different .asking one to sin,to save you or property is where in,the bible ?
 
John 18:36 Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place."

Matthew 16:24-25 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever want to save his life will lose it, but whoever wants to save his life will lose it.

Romans 13:10 Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is fulfillment of the law.
I agree with those verses. But they only tell half the story and really don’t apply to this situation. I really think your using those verses out of context.

Deuteronomy 20 NIV
10 When you march up to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace. 11 If they accept and open their gates, all the people in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you.12 If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in battle, lay siege to that city. 13 When the Lord your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it.

First, there is a war being fought in America. A war over the ethics and morals that underpin our great nation. God commanded His people to eliminate evil cultures that occupied the land God granted them.

we always offer peace, but if peace is not accepted, we do not allow evil to conquer over good.
 
if Jesus wanted us to be like that ,he wouldn't have told the 12 go and buy a sword . go and sin ,then rebuke peter for having the sword.peter was rebuked for his timing of the use of it .Jesus was meant to be taken and crucified and Peter also came across as trying to bring the kingdom about by blood shed
I think we have had this conversation before about the sword thing.

Remember, Jesus said that to fulfill the prophecy about him. If the people around him were totally unarmed, he wouldn't have fulfilled it.

Luke 22:37 "It is written: 'And he was numbered with the transgressors, and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment."

Matthew 26:52 "Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword"

He strictly told them to get a sword for prophecy to be fulfilled, because everything else he said to them is laying down their lives for people.

Anyways, my coffee wasn't totally cold and my protein bar was just okay.

of course ,whipped out the God asks men to lie for him.
do you lie to get people saved.

notice he says go and buy a purse and script .I guess money for the church is also a sin .and paper .you can't just says it's only the sword ,when He says go and buy,a sword and a purse and script because I will no longer provide for you like i have .
 
What is scary is the reality that we are no longer a Christian Nation and the current values in America are being lost to a mentality that is both lazy and selfish to the point where they don’t take accountability for their actions. They have become gods to themselves that wish to rule outside of Gods laws.
This shooting is a prime example if this. He has a prior record of sexual encounters and has 6 children and he is under 30. While I’m glad he did not opt to abort them, I’m willing to bet these children do not share the same mother. This is a further sign that he holds no commitments to anyone except himself, and he only accounts for himself under his own terms.
As a society, we can not allow this. Imagine if there was no law and order. You don’t have to look any further than CHAZ before it got shut down. That mentality does not work. Furthermore, the Police take an oath to serve and protect. The police were doing their jobs serving and protecting his girlfriend when she called 911 on him.
I applaud the police officer who shot this man while serving and protecting both himself and the community. To think the Police should just allow an evil person to kill would be more evil in itself.
 
the bible speaks highly of two centurions ,one that peter lead to the cross,the other by Jesus himself ,neither were asked or told to stop serving ceaser,nor were the two romans soldiers,Jesus simply said treat no man roughly to them ,meaning don't go above what you have to or also harass no one .rome was brutal yet no word said about not being a Roman soldier ,just don't be cruel

Evil is evil.

America is tanking because a majority of people see evil as good. The devil is dividing everyone and he's doing a good job. Godliness is living in love.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

If everyone could demonstrate love, people could have heaven on earth.

Yes, in the context of being sent by Him to preach the Gospel, we are to become martyrs.

However, what man wouldn’t provide protection for his wife and children from murderous thugs?


But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. 1 Timothy 5:8

What is scary is that all love has been lost. I live near Seattle and know what took place. The devil is working overtime with dividing people. I agree there has to be people out there responding to the devil's work, but they need to not have a spirit of fear when they enter those situations.

It seems that we are okay with killing or shooting at people maybe cause they had a criminal past. I literally heard someone on this very forum state: "we're just sending them to hell faster". I was mortified by this statement.

You see this has murdering someone? I just want to clarify.

okay.Jesus himself He will return to restore the creation and also to judge the wicked .

pure fantasy to assume we can this side of heaven be able to be sinless .for that to work a Christian anarchist state would have to be .strive to be Holy but know we never be sinless

We can at least try to be the light in the darkness. Like, look like Jesus himself in this dark world. I do care about the world, but God is calling us out of the world unto himself.

I'm not saying don't intervene with situations. If there was a mall shooter, I would go right up to him and disarm him.
