Pointing out hypocrisy and bigotry.

And so you're caught up in the cares of the world, @Whyme. Josh furnished you with sound scriptural counsel. Are you not interested in what our brother had to offer? I found his counsel edifying and altogether worthwhile. Sower and I have also made efforts to nudge you in a smiliar direction, which is this:

Focus your eyes, mind, and heart on Jesus Christ and not the squalor of this world. Don't you know this world is perishing? By pursing the cares of this world you become part of this world. That isn't equivalent to shining a light to the lost who need the Lord. 

Was Martin Luther King caught up in the cares of this world?

Im trying to shine light. Falsely accusing a brother of murder is unchristian like. The media and Biden have done that. They also stir up conflict in the community by accusing police of systemic racism. But yes move it to politics for all i care, but may as well lock it because it wont do anything but sit there.

16 There are six things the Lord hates,
    seven that are detestable to him:
17         haughty eyes,
        a lying tongue,
        hands that shed innocent blood,
18         a heart that devises wicked schemes,
        feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19         a false witness who pours out lies
        and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

 

Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. Therefore

“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
If he is thirsty, give him a drink;
For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
(Romans 12:17-21 NKJV)

Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. Vengeance belongs to the Lord. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. You would do well to meditate upon these things. The Lord bless you, my friend.

When the trial was in first stages of selecting jurors and such, there was a 20/20 dateline show providing that the Cop and George Floyd both [worked together] as Bouncers" at a night club.   So the Cop knew who George was and chose to put his knee on George's throat.   in my opinion, this was a [personal beef] and Murder by the Cop.   It was not what the Democratic Party turned it into being this was all about Race.

This isn't vengeance, its just a bit of truth. If someone hates me over a lie shouldn't i speak up? If i remain silent the lie just festers into hate and vengeance. Not in me but those who believe the lie.

Is pointing out hypocrisy and bigotry wrong? Is it judging or is it speaking truth and justice? Thank you.
