Do that when some black people are dragged behind a truck
Should it matter to any of us that the man dragged behind the truck was black? Would it have made it easier to accept if it had been an Indian, or Hispanic or German? What exactly is a hate crime? IMO whoever kills anyone with purpose is a "hater" . But my words are surely not the final ones to be listened to. Listen to The Lord's words.
(Mat 5:21-24 KJV) Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
Now if we decide to become the Judge and Jury, and say "he is my brother and he ain't my brother cause ....yada yada yada......"
then you can tell Jesus yourself, I do not intend to tell The Almighty anything of the sort.
Do that when some black people are dragged behind a truck, or when some Jews are thrown in a furnace.
" How about babies thrown into the trashcans of the abortionists" Do you still have civil conversation with Christene or Mark? What makes them better or worthy of your conversation than others who do not agree with you?
I know you and your family were acosted by a "hateful" person. Still the example we see was one of Stephen being stoned and asking for their forgiveness.(One of which was Saul!) And Paul being stoned and left for dead(and going right back into the city to preach). And our Lord who could have called legions of angels, but He did not. Who could have accused on the cross but He did not,but instead said "forgive them." Have you forgave the man who accosted you? Have you told him of this One they called Jesus?? I am not sure if I could if my family was involved, but that is what we are called to do, is it not?
