Why this white pastor is not saying ‘all lives matter’

A white pastor in New York has been swept up in a race debate following a proclamation that he would not say “all lives matter.”

The mantra, he said, does not address an essential issue. The 37-year-old’s comment came just days after two police shootings left two black men dead. Terence Crutcher, an unarmed black man, was shot and killed by a white police officer in Tulsa on Sept. 16; four days later, another black man, Keith Lamont Scott, was killed at the hands of police in Charlotte. The shootings ignited peaceful protests interrupted by chaos in cities 1,000 miles apart.

Because he’s saying White Lives Matter?

What a joke to watch the once respected Washington Post try to pass off such buffoonish nonsense as news.

“No, all lives matter!”
“No, BLACK lives matter!”
“No, Clown lives matter!”

Since you didn’t bother to share the relevant facts,

They are talking about Carl Lentz, pastor at the Hillsong “church” in NYC.

How about “Black Lives Matter, Too” ?

[PAR35]

And, by the way, you are lazy.

[Fungi]

This is not a man of God, but a fool who impersonates one. His finger is in the wind instead of on the Bible.

“...peaceful protests interrupted by chaos...”

ROFLMAO!

So that’s the latest liberal phrase for “riots”?

[Mr. Mojo]

At least 732 people — 178 of whom were black men and women — have been fatally shot by police in the United States this year, according to a Washington Post database.

Why isn't he complaining about the other 554? Apparently to him, ONLY black lives matter.

[GuavaCheesePuff]

Sorry. I didn’t know this until now. Lentz is probably just a Manhattan liberal.

[Mr. Mojo]

Lol...that’s like saying that Islam is a peaceful religion that’s plagued by the fact that the majority of adherents support jihad.

Unarmed white people get shot by cops.

This is a total assinine movement.

Any time the narrative comes up where there it is asserted there is an epidemic of black men being shot by police officers, here is the statistic that should lead off the ensuing conversation:

---

---

In 2015, according to federal crime statistics, a police officer of ANY race is 18 times more likely to die at the hands of a black man, than a black man is to die at the hands of a police officer.

Here is an excellent video from Bill Whittle that puts things in the proper perspective:

"Black Lives Matter Kills People" by Bill Whittle
It is a 7 minute video which puts it in context, and explains much.

It has been a long, long time since the Washington Post was respected.

He’s afraid of getting his ass kicked.

Why this white pastor is not saying ‘all lives matter’

He seems to want to justify himself to the pharasees of PC rather than to the word of God:

25On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 26“What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?” 27He answered, “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’c ; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’d ” 28“You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.” 29But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35The next day he took out two denariie and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’ 36“Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” 37The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

--Luke 10, 25-37 (NIV translation)

His finger is in the “wind”.

Maybe, or maybe his finger is “in” something else.

He wouldn’t be the first “pastor” to want to justify his own sin.

“...peaceful protests interrupted by chaos...”

I hate when chaos does that. . .I wish chaos would mind its own business and leave our peaceful protests alone.

Did somebody tell God on this “pastor”???
