Judging by the comments, I am guessing this story has hit the drudge report? Admittedly there is a higher crime problem with black Americans. But most Walmarts were not ransacked last night, most businesses were not robbed last night. Almost everyone managed NOT to be murdered. Yet typical racist and biggots flock to black crime stories like flies on cattle dung. Some of you almost seem orgasmic to fault the many for the crimes of a few. Although many of you profess to know God, few of you seem to follow his example and judge a man on his own merit’s. By your own playbook, type child sex offender into Google news search. The vast majority are white middle aged men. We all know most mass muders have been perpetrated by white male’s, including the recent church massacre. Would be fair to the call all white male’s pedophiles, perverts and mass killer’s? I think not. I think the Lord’s way of judging every person for their own action is the best and most correct course. Apparently some of you think you know better than our creator.
I will note that the commenter stopped short from saying this is wrong and we need to change it.................
Regarding the pedophiles, there are few trying to justify their actions. Is that the difference?
Isaiah 53 New International Version (NIV)
1
Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
2
He grew up before him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
3
He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.
4
Surely he took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
5
But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
6
We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all.
7
He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;
he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
8
By oppression[a] and judgment he was taken away.
Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people he was punished.[b]
9
He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death,
though he had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in his mouth.
10
Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
and though the Lord makes[c] his life an offering for sin,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.
11
After he has suffered,
he will see the light of life[d] and be satisfied[e];
by his knowledge[f] my righteous servant will justify many,
and he will bear their iniquities.
12
Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,[g]
and he will divide the spoils with the strong,[h]
because he poured out his life unto death,
and was numbered with the transgressors.
For he bore the sin of many,
and made intercession for the transgressors.
