The choice is either to listen even to to people like that, or to prejudge a whole swath of people as irredeemable. The later is not, in my opinion, an option for Christians, any more than, for example, writing off the entire prison population.
If we are to “seek peace and pursue it,” as Scripture directs, we have to start somewhere.
“The choice is either to listen even to people like that, or to prejudge a whole swath of people as irredeemable.”
Prejudge, or observe? It’s not like they’re hiding anything. I personally believe BLM and NBP people are irredeemable, short of divine intervention, but that is irrelevant.
What does matter is this: I do not believe that God expects us to let them kill us just because they might find the road to redemption somewhere in the distant future.
“The latter is not, in my opinion, an option for Christians, any more than, for example, writing off the entire prison population.”
Lumping in the innocent with the guilty is, of course, not acceptable. However, lumping in the guilty with the guilty certainly is. The constitution forbids ex post facto laws, so prisoners who commit no further crimes cannot be further punished. However, neither the constitution nor Christian morality forbid the legally constituted authorities to break up riots with Browning .50 caliber machine guns, nor to pass laws calling for the death penalty for more crimes.
We have spent so many decades wrongfully failing to execute criminals for depredations that were or should have been capital crimes, instead allowing them to run post-doctoral seminars in crime and racial hatred in our prisons, that we are virtually overrun by murdering criminals who will kill again and again for as long as they draw the breath of life.
“If we are to “seek peace and pursue it,” as Scripture directs, we have to start somewhere.”
If we are to seek peace we must know what it is. In this world, peace is nothing more than the interval between the last time we defeated evil and the next time it attacks. And it will attack again, and again, and again, until Our Lord returns in glory. Evil always attacks Good; that is its nature.
N.B., the only way to create such an interval is to defeat evil once more, almost certainly by force of arms.
Satan is currently attacking on five major fronts: one is Nation of Islam, BLM, and NBP. The others are pigdog murder-muzzies, the Invasion of the Border Crashers, sodomite activism, and leftism in all its guises. When these servants of Satan riot in pursuit of their goals, the government should respond with live ammunition—lots and lots of it.
The innocent will not be rioting, and so will not be harmed.
It is time that people of too much good will wake up and smell the evil. The scum named above are quite willing to kill us to achieve their evil ends, and they will not stop while they live. If you have a calling to martyrdom, I certainly won’t stand in your way, but neither do you have a right to tell others that they must join you.
Like it or not, we must fight and win, or face a white American holocaust that will make the paperhanger look like an amateur.
