Does anyone know if the phoenix event tomorrow is a funeral or memorial service or both? Who did the autopsy(s)?
I have thought this from the first that I heard of the assassination, but I was wondering why no one else seemed to see it; now I know I’m not alone in my recognizing Kirk as the modern day Stephen, and the reaction (the faithful bury him with great lamentation, and the opposition ramps up its violence against the people of faith).
John 12:23.......and CHARLIE died at 12:23.
Agree with this. Some have compared him to Paul. I consider him a Stephen.
..between reason and irrationality, between truth and lies, between good and evil, between life and death.
Stephen and Charlie were both martyrs.
But Stephen was executed under the authority of the Sanhedrin in which some Biblical commentary suggest may have included Saul of Tarsus.
A formal execution in which Stephen was stoned to death by many.
Stephen’s execution occurred not long after the first coming of Christ.
Charlie’s execution occurred near the end of that period of the first coming of Christ and probably very close to the second coming of Christ.
Some might argue Charlie’s execution reflected an End Time event.
I thought he was a Paul.
I’m getting confused.
This is a fantastic article. Thanks for posting it. It clearly explains why the left assassinated him.
I saw many clips of Charlie engaging young people in debate and persuading them, but I never realized the Christian underpinnings of his life until after his assassination. I never appreciated that he was evangelizing as much as promoting a moral society.
That aspect of him was never really exposed to the casual observer like me. It was probably intentionally suppressed.
“When I heard the tragic news, I said, ‘I wonder who he was.’ And then all of a sudden, this overwhelming, this overwhelming sense of sorrow and kind of renewal.”“And I thought, I gotta learn about this guy. And the more I learned about him, I thought, this guy's a modern day Saint Paul. He was a missionary, he's an evangelist, he's a hero.”
“He's one that knew what Jesus meant when he said, the truth will set you free. And to do it, Now, I understand he was pretty blunt and he was pretty direct. He didn't try to avoid any controversy. He didn't even try to avoid confrontation. The difference is the way, the mode, the style that he did it, always with respect.”
