So tell me something? Is the inflaming of passions over this Not Guilty verdict a good religious purpose? Or is it just another step on the road to Civil/race War? And who is this supposed to benefit?
There was an occasion when I challenged my pastor over a statement he had made from the pulpit which struck me as astonishingly self-righteous. He jokingly replied, “That’s scriptural” - and quoted Luke 18:119 To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’I took it that my pastor had heard in his own voice what I had heard in it . . .13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’
14 “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
These people want to relive their heyday of the 60s when racial discrimination was at its worst. What’s wrong with these people? Is this what happens when blacks have power in the USA now, they turn on white people with everything they have. Revenge seems a huge priority for them.
