UPDATE:
As I said below, I didn't watch it. However, I have since learned that Erika Kirk forgave Tyler Robinson for killing her son.
I did find that very moving and following the words of Christ.And yet, if only her son - and Trump/Christian Nationalists - could extend that kind of grace and mercy to everyday folk in general who don't look,, think, or believe the exact same way they do.
Thus, the song remains the same for this post.
... and then wait for my blog to transition to an HTTPS address today, if it's available, so it might be down a while due to that.
HECK, no.
As I said in the post below, we watched Black Rabbit instead on Netflix. 😂
Again, I'm genuinely sorry the misguided young man was murdered due to the garbage coming out of his mouth - he didn't deserve it.
However, none of us voted Charlie Kirk into any known office.
He didn't say or do anything that improved, enriched, or even affected my life, or the lives of anyone I know, whatsoever.
He was a glorified political digital influencer who said a lot of contentious things that were actually in direct opposition to Christ's own words - despite a lavish "revival-like" funeral in Christ's name.
(And I'm not sure where the money came for it or to televise it?)
Be honest, conservatives over 50 - how many of you even knew who Charlie Kirk was, until this happened, THEN you jumped on the conservative bandwagon and canonized him into martyred sainthood?
Again, fellow Christians, I'monna say it again, like I said 2 posts ago, about what Jesus said versus the kind of things coming out of Trump and Kirk's mouth.
Christ said God would judge humanity based on how you treated "the least of these" in society - the poor and powerless.
Do you fantasize that following their ideology will lead our Heavenly Father to say to you "Well done, my good and faithful servant?"
Think again.
Because here's what Jesus said will be said by our heavenly father to those who treat poorly or villainized/demonized "the least of these" ...
Matthew 21:40-45
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, 'Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?'
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, 'Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.' "
Is there some sort of reading comprehension problem, when it comes to the actual words of Christ himself - our actual messiah - versus Trump's words, demonizing and villainizing the poor and powerless, which in direct opposition to Christ?
What about that scripture passage do you not understand, fellow Christians?
