And how fine can they be if they are gloating?
You folks see nothing but an incorrigible rascal.
This reads differently to me... granted it is just a hunch, but often my hunches come true. God has whispered many things to me that prove correct, even though it took decades sometimes.
Minquell... that is a sockdollager of a taunt-bait name. Boy named Sue territory here, even though his mom probably just thought it was cute for her sake. Thought he had to prove himself by the means he had steeped in from the ghetto upward. I hate this BLM-style hate, because it spreads so. It hijacks souls in blind illusion. Yes, I suspect that if he had been named Joe or Sam, a manly name, things might actually not have played out this way. I’d be really curious to see how names correlate to violent crime, even correcting for racial statistical factors.
The world got its pound of flesh back from him, no doubt about it. But the world was never intended to be man’s resting place. Eternity was.
This is why I have wondered about squads of negotiators to offenders in a situation like that. Guard them by all means, but don’t make the guard too conspicuous. Every person who actually DOES yield to go through some kind of normal justice system is one less martyr for the cause of BLM degree hatred.
This is not the same as a lefty position that says try at all costs to let him loose. He wouldn’t need to be loose, that would be counterproductive in his compromised state. He would need to learn what it means to be a man, which means to care about your fellow souls with the strength that God has gifted you with — and care not just about what goes on in the world, but also what will go on in eternity. An appointment that nobody will miss is a rather important one.
I know that but I’m praying about it. He knows me too well.....I react to things that burn me up and have to let it out.....I’m His problem child, probably grating on His last nerve but He loves me and takes care of me anyway and for that I’m eternally grateful.......:)
I don’t wish to come across as unsympathetic to the blue side of this terrible, terrible tragedy, even though I’ve been looking at the black skin side of it.
I believe it possible — whether likely or not (I am not close enough to really tell) that the officer who sacrificed may even meet up with Minquell in heaven, the grudge between both of them gone. I do not know if those in heaven still pray too — would they pray that their deaths would not be in vain? Different Christian followings have different takes. The bible speaks of the blood of the martyrs being avenged, but I wonder if that could be on a spiritual level. I.e. that Satan, the ultimate instigator here, is sent packing to hell, rather than some mortal.
We’re fast approaching Christmas, the day about which men sing with wistfulness about peace on earth and good will to men, about God and sinners reconciled, about the Babe of Bethlehem making His home in our hearts. Maybe it doesn’t need to be just with wistfulness this happens.
On a side note, some might wonder whether Minquell, having committed two murders (the policeman and himself) could be saved, because heaven does not have murderers in it. The answer, if it were to have been set up by the Lord, would be in the continual washing set up by Christ. It sounds dreadfully unfair to us mortals, but as soon as a sin is over, it turns the sinner into an ex-sinner... again. How could that be fair? It is, because it was suffered for on the Cross.
I’m struggling here for a balance. We need accountability in this world of wickedness, to turn unbelievers towards God and remind believers to embrace God again sooner rather than later. We also need the gospel hope of Christ and a real sense of it happening. I believe witnesses to it are already beginning to appear in the current events of America. Who, a year ago, would have guessed Donald Trump would be president-elect with a comprehensive political salvation plan, and bringing along Mike Pence, a Christian who has a background in reaching the “gay” population? And both through an unlikely set of circumstances?
#1 I don’t see how you think that two men who are dead are capable of gloating, but obviously you must know “since God speaks to you”.
#2 You sure ain’t from this neck of the woods if you can equate his name to “a boy named Sue”. Pretty typical name for around here.
#3 Please park your rear on most any corner of Americus and find out about the locals. Shootings, drugs, stabbings, you name it are standard fare most nights. I imagine you will end up in the hospital or the morgue in about a day with your do-good, they just need understanding and love attitude.
Yeah I think you are an imbecile of the highest order. Thugs with a 32 page rap sheet don’t need our compassion, their victim’s do.
(1) You spoke as though they were alive, on behalf of them. I was wrong to blame them, then. You are to blame.
(2) This is about as effeminate of a fancy Negro name that I have ever come across. Say it slowly... Min (as in minnie) quell.
(3) Of course I wouldn’t go in there without a guard, that’s not the point. However I wouldn’t make the guard the chief, obvious point.
So this destroys your three distortions.
And where are you going to go in eternity, when that rap sheet isn’t the thing that says whether or not you go to hell?
Life on earth is a morality story yes. It is not the end goal of our existence no.
When you can stop distorting, then maybe we can talk.
By the way, I don’t just seek to “do good.”
I seek to “do EXCELLENT.”
They DO need the love of God, like a drowning man needs air. No love in = no love out. That’s an ironclad rule of the creation.
There is one more thing that can block this equation, and that is the PRIDE of people. Some people are so PROUD that they will never, ever yield to the love of God. Like the drowning man who hurls the life preserver away.
I’d suggest you examine yourself in a mirror to see if you are in such a condition yourself, or if you may be skating perilously close to it.
Might I go to such a place? My answer is an emphatic maybe. It would have to be the right place, the place that the power of God actually wanted me to go.
There’s a reason Christianity is marked with martyrdoms, followed by faith revolutions. It’s because it does not obey the rules of the world.
Somebody going in there without this divine backing would be doing it for pride alone... and would indeed be a sitting duck.
But ma’am, I might as well say that if your moniker is about yourself, that sure looks like a person who is full of herself.
I knew another “mom” like that. God took her from this life early. Later I understood it was for excellent reason. I had been polluted enough as it were, and it took literal decades to get out from under that and thoroughly under God’s love. She apparently thought herself higher than God. She, by the way, WAS a “lefty do gooder” to STRANGERS — but in her own pride, which never let her call a stop to an attempt or to find a balance. FAMILY were her emotional slaves, to be acidly criticized to keep them in line. I smell the same kind of sulfur wafting from your direction. Maybe God was merciful to your boys, to let them die rather than suffer that.
It ended up, anyhow, that I did not need to rebuke that. God rebuked it.
But to recap, ma’am. Yes I might go, if it was the right place, at the right time.
There’s earthly armor, and then there’s spiritual armor. Read the gospels sometime. You’ll see Jesus walking right out of crowds that wanted to stone Him... as though they had been stunned into being oblivious. When the Roman guard came for Him, He only had to acknowledge who He was, and they fell backwards. Until His crucifixion, when it was finally necessary for Him to die for the sins of the world. Including your sins, if you will permit Him to do so.
I do know that when it’s not your time to go, God will keep it from happening. I can gladly tell anyone how this has happened to me, over and over.
Does this mean I will march right in there just to prove a point to you? No, not for that purpose. It has to be to glorify the Lord and that means He sets the time and place.
And for all I know this may be all slinging of pearls before swine and you’ll cuss me out. Fine. Go your way. You shall meet with God again some day, and the voice may be less friendly at that time.
Bless your heart, as I think is the custom to say down there.
