Demonic activity within BLM movement - shocking.

See this video where Patrisse Cullors and Melina Abdullah of BLM call upon names of deceased people for guidance and empowerment.

God teaches us that we are all equal in value and all created in His image.
No, the LORD teaches that all Men are created equal. [See Matthew 19:4]

So is a false witness equal in value to a true witness?

"But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.” Matthew 9:11

Might be true but "race" is a man made social construct, there are no such thing as "races" we all bleed red.
Do consider blood types are a man made construct also? So are you saying that the genetic difference found amongst individual groups of people, or races are the results of random mutations?

I think sometimes you cant speak on issues you have never experienced yourself. You can advocate, but if its not your testimony then some people might not see it as credible. That shouldnt be a problem for you but its just how others perceive it.

For example. i used to think how could Jesus know how I feel. He's male, Im female. He lived in 1st century Judea, I live in 21st century new zealand. He grew up in judaism but I never experienced any strict religion. How can we relate? JEsus looks beyond these superficial differences cos he sends us the helper, the holy spirit. The holy spirit is not someone in the flesh, so those flesh things dont matter.

The thing is Jesus and me (and you) are both human and experience things like sorrow and suffering. And what damage sin can do.

Some of us, because we are born into things like poverty or do not belong in the rich, ruling elite of society, will not experience life in the same way as certain rich people do, just like the rich young ruler couldnt understand what Jesus was talking about when he said give away your possessions, or the rich man who got sent to hades and saw that poor Lazarus was in paradise. Some people, being so priveliged and living in a bubble, dont know what its like to be truly poor. They have never had to want for anything and so those that a poor assume they dont understand. It is a dangerous assumption, but i think quite a few would turn a blind eye like those who passed the man on the road except the good samaritan.
Beautifully expressed. Thank you

This is patently false since the facts do not bear it out. This is typical bogus Marxist nonsense.

1. According to the Bible there is only race -- the human race, all having descended from Adam through Noah and his three sons. And in Christ, all racial distinctions are cancelled within the Body of Christ.

2. At the same time there is no denying that there are distinct ethnic groups on earth, and if we use skin color as a criterion, then we have white, black, brown, yellow and red (to keep it simple). And there is no question that all these groups practice their own brands of racism. The Chinese have long regarded Westerners as barbarians, and guess who calls the shots these days?

3. There is no question that white racism and segregation (based upon white racism) were historical facts in the United States (particularly in the South), and even Christians in the South deceived themselves into thinking that this was God-ordained. The Civil War did nothing to change all that. That war was totally stupid and hundreds of thousands died in vain, not to mention the financial and social costs.

4. There is also no question that since the desegregation laws went into effect, there was a significant change in the status of black Americans, and that more recently they had been making real progress in every field, and race was gradually become a non-issue.

5. But there is also no question that since Barack Obama ran for office, the color of one's skin became more important than what a person was and what his or her accomplisments actually were. In fact Obama was elected on the basis of race, not qualifications, and he appointed his key personnel on the basis of race. And since then Black Racism has become a serious problem in America.

6. Talk about reparations for slavery at this point is also plain stupid, since every ethnic group could be asking for reparations. The Native Americans, would be next, followed by the Japanese who were interred during WWII, and the Chinese who were indentured laborers long before that, etc.

Had Abraham Lincoln had a mind, he could have offered slave owners generous compensation for each and every slave (since there was actual economic loss), and also given each slave a generous settlement to move North and start afresh (and that would have been a requirement to avoid racial conflict in the South). It would have cost the government far less than what it cost for the war. And he could have also made fair settlements with the Native Americans at that time. But now people should move on since there is no going back.

7. It should be clear to the American public at this point that the Left-Liberal politicians (the Democrats) have only ONE GOAL -- they want power so that they can destroy America and make it another third world Socialist dump. They do not care for the blacks, and Obama and the Democrat Black Caucus did absolutely nothing for their so-called black *brethren* all the time they had power. It is time for black Americans to wake up and see that they have been used for decades, and it is time to break that cycle.
Agreed as to why I made the post to show how these ideas are illogical and unbiblical.[/QUOTE]

Regarding reparations i agree with you. My Romany mother would be eligible for them as the slave trade affected the
Romany gypsies too. So yeah, just about everybody probably ha s at least one slave ancestor in their family tree, it would get quite ridiculous

okay, I don't know what CrT is all about - something about white people evil, everyone else good.

You can spout that till the cows come home - it's not true. Notice if it's not true, there's nothing to be offended about. You are only offended if what's being said is true. For example, You can crack white jokes all you want and it won't affect my peacefullness one bit. I'll more than likely laugh at most of them, if they're funny.

Say all nasty things you want to - - at the end of the day, I'm going back to my loving family and my white pickett fence home. It doesn't bother us because it's not true and we will carry on or business unfettered.

This is what I recommend for the black population, tp ignore the mediaheads are saying; live your live as best as you can. don't give a RF about what others are saying.

And all of you need to find God and try to align him to you.

If you live your best live under Gods grace, you will have the best life you could possibly have.

I'll end with this, I'd much rather hang around a group of black christians, than white, because the black people know how to be so much fun! And I'd rather be pulled over by a black cop than white.

It is much more than this as to why we all need to know what CRT is all about. It has its roots in Critical Theory, a Marxist theory designed to create a victim mentality.

That is incorrect. If something which is not true is also highly offensive, then it is something to be offended about. CRT is highly offensive in that it paints all white people as racist, therefore evil. And it says nothing about black racism.
You are only offended if what's being said is true.
This too is incorrect. Lies and falsehoods are extremely damaging. Take the entire COVID scamdemic. While the virus may be real, everything about the pandemic was false. It was not science but COVID tyranny that was being perpetrated. Now the lies about the vaccines are not only highly offensive but highly dangerous.

Getting back to CRT, how is it that no one saw this coming? The Communists had planned to destroy America from within, and it is all now coming to pass. They had even published a Manifesto so that no one was in the dark. That Manifesto was simply ignored. Since there is no class or caste system in America, Communism is using race to divide and conquer. And the military -- of all groups -- has simply surrendered to this evil ideology without a shot being fired.

And then it was Martin Luther King Jr. It could have been anyone else but for some reason he had the credibility.

Do you know anything about street cred? Well its a thing that people have or they dont. Kind of like the x factor in some ways. You cant fake it. You have to be real.

MLK wouldn't have agreed with BLM.

Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors to step down amid questions about finances
About time and good riddance. And those who funded her with millions should ask for a full refund and tell her to begin chanting "ALL LIVES MATTER". It's about time this foolishness stopped. If things were as normal as they should be, she would have been arrested about a year ago and jailed by now for inciting riots. After all Trump was being impeached for this non-crime (on his part).

BLM has nothing to do with improving the lot of disadvantaged blacks. But it has everything to do with Marxist anarchy, rioting, looting, arson, and murder -- domestic terrorism.
