GEORGE AND TRAYVON MESS |
|
Thousands of words have been written and spoken concerning the mess in Florida. It is called a mess because truth and right are being swamped by the goons and thugs, which on the periphery involves the nut Job (aka Barack Hussein Obama) and Eric Holder, the Attorney-General. With high flown words they actually are encouraging the rampages in the various communities. All of the foregoing is well known, so that won’t be repeated. George Zimmerman was trying to serve his community. Trayvon Martin, according to his criminal activity history, was trying to serve himself through criminal behavior that was not stopped by either the police or the school authorities. By not dealing with Trayvon’s behavior, they swept it under the rug and thus must bear some responsibility for his being killed. According to reliable news sources, the school officials were trying to make the school look good by ignoring criminal activity. They treated such activity as disciplinary problems but never disciplined anyone, including Trayvon. A few people have brought up Acts 17:26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; When the verse is taken from its context, the full meaning of Paul’s words may not be understood. Paul was in Athens, Greece, where false deities were routinely worshipped. Altars were erected to the many gods that they imagined existed somewhere. Luke wrote that Paul was on Mar’s Hill, verse 22. He saw that the men were superstitious/religious but not in a good way. He saw an altar erected to an unknown god in case they had missed one. Paul told them in verse 23 that he was going to tell them the name of the unknown god Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. Those to whom Paul spoke were Gentiles as opposed to the Jews. The word nation means people not country, since the only two groups in the world were Jews and Gentiles. Paul brought the gospel to the people of Athens and told them in verses 30-31 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. Just as the men of Athens who believed in false gods, similar events are taking place in the United States. Certain groups of people are being elevated over others due to their skin color and sexual orientation. The people in those groups believe that they have special rights, which include more rights than other people. In effect, they are worshipping the god of special rights and demand privilege due to some self proclaimed standing. Those groups however, look to a false god called government to set everything right for them. That false god’s head being the man in the White House who makes promises he never keeps. Agitators such as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton make noise and cause disruption which encourages the groups to behave uncivilly against their imagined oppressors. It makes no difference to these people that God began their life with the creation of Adam and Eve. From them as Paul said in verse 26, came all people regardless of skin color. Out of the situation in Florida has come more ignoring of the scriptures by the so called reverends Jackson and Sharpton. More words have flowed from the mouth of Eric Holder and the nut job, both of whom have added fuel to the racial fire. Instead of promoting peace and good will, the four have done nothing but spew hate in one form or another. As Rahm Emanuel said, “Never allow a crisis to go to waste” is being followed by those four agitators. They care nothing for the teachings of the scriptures or the limits set forth in the Constitution. Their words indicate that they only want to create more hostility in the minds of the various self proclaimed special groups. Look at the difference that exists between man’s way and God’s. Paul wrote of Jesus in Ephesians 2:14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; And verse 16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: Paul spoke of making peace with God which when followed will bring peace to each of us with our fellow man. In a similar way, the Constitution is designed to bring people together in one republic as in E Pluribus Unum-from many one, just as the scriptures teach when following God’s plan. But the false god’s are preaching division and gaining followers. Worse yet, they at times use the Bible to help promote their evil that creates division. One more group has to be added to the mix. It is the Democrats in Congress and elsewhere who are also fanning the flames of unrest. Senator Dick Durbin, Illinois, is going to stick his nose into the business of the states concerning the stand your ground laws by initiating a congressional hearing. Durbin doesn’t follow the Bible or the Constitution either, since he too worships government and its grab of unconstitutional power. One young man is dead and another now has a ruined life, at least for a while or perhaps forever. Justice prevailed even though the agitators do not like it. Holder said, “And we will never stop working to ensure that in every case, in every circumstance and in every community, justice must be done.” The definition of justice is “The virtue which consists in giving to every one what is his due; practical conformity to the laws and to principles of rectitude in the dealings of men with each other;” (Webster’s 1828 Dictionary) It is offered that justice was served for both Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman. Trayvon received justice under the self-defense law when he attempted to kill George Zimmerman and George received justice in conformity to the lawful legal process in Florida. © 07-20-2013 DEC |
