Don't Talk To Them

   Now that the FBI is a weaponized arm of the fascist Deep State, here are some things you should know.

Biden has declared war on all patriots. Following Obama's lead who said about people who love America, "They refuse to let go of their God their guns".

  Those who believe in traditional Judeo Christian Values, those who don't want a bunch of deviants sexualizing and grooming little children, those who don't  believe in more than two genders, those who don't want children mutilated and given puberty blockers, those who believe in law and order, those who love Jesus, those who think it is wrong to murder babies HAVE BEEN DECLARED ENEMIES OF THE CORRUPT DEEP STATE THUGS AND REPROBATES. 

  If one takes a public stand against Biden, corrupt wicked governors, and condemns the Deep State you will be persecuted in order to silence you.

Like Hitler, those in power have taken control of the media, especially social media. They have taken control of the Justice Department. One must remember these facists and Nazis do not play by the rules. 

 If they knock on your door questioning you about your beliefs or activities, do not let them in. If they do not have a warrant shut the door in their face, even if they are accompanied by local law enforcement. 

If they have a warrant refuse to answer any questions and call your attorney. If your attorney tells you to talk, get another attorney.

The tactic of these devils is to say, "If you have nothing to hide,you should answer our questions" This is tactic that was used on General Flynn. If you are innocent, they will try to trick you into contradicting yourself or lying, so they can charge you with lying. Corrupt police, FBI, Congress and many others have done this for years.

If they hate you they can charge you with lying.

Do not talk to them. Ever. You have the right to be silent.

They'll say, "it will be better for you if you talk"

Don't believe it.

Many people have the mistaken idea that Martha Stewart went to prison for insider trading. Not true. They were out to get her and could prove nothing, so they charged her with lying. That is how they got her.

You see the Left is for murdering babies, stirring up racial strife, and for every kind of wickedness. Why would we submit to interrogation by people with no morals and whose God is power.

Stand your ground. Stand for Jesus. The Sanhedrin and Pilate were amazed when they questioned Jesus and he refused to say a word.

God Help Us!

World Domination

    I love the idea of America.  I cherish my freedom to worship (even though the powers that be for almost a year said that we couldn't go to church, and our cowardly pastors went right along).

 Most Americans are good people, but our government is totally corrupt and evil. We have engaged in constant undeclared wars,. The US invades countries at will. All over the world  sponsoring coups and wars.The US invades at will. Or send in drones and murder people.

   In 2014 the US sponsored a coup that overthrew the democraticly elected President of Ukraine and installed a US puppet regime. Ukraine started bombing the Dombass region for 8 years because they loved Russia. Russia had enough and intervened. So the US acts indignant because Russia did what we did in Syria, Serbia, Iraq, Libya etc etc etc. 

  500,000 starved to death in our invasion of Iraq. Why do we hate Russia? Because the US rules the world because of our money. Russia won't get in line and sell her soul for US dollars.

   Even China won't stand up to us because their economy is built on selling their cheap crap to the US.

The US rules the world. But eventually the world will get sick of it? Money can't buy you love.

Maybe if you are a whore. Some countries may decide not to be our whore.

God help us.

Phobias of the Left

     Leftists are masters of using language to intimidate and silence anyone who doesn't buy into their socialist hateful agenda.

 Their use of the word 'phobia' is their favorite tool. But they obviously don't have a clue what the word means.

Phobia: A type of anxiety disorder that describes an excessive and irrational fear of a specific object, activity or situation. Phobias involve intense fear.

  People who do not believe in the morality of homosexual practice are called 'homophobic'..This is absurd. Because one doesn't believe something is right has nothing to do with fear. 

   I have had and still have a number of friends and family that are homosexuals. I've loved them all and have never been afraid of any of them. This is ridiculous. When I became a Christian, my late Uncle thought I'd have a phobia of him. That was crazy. He was a big teddy bear. The last time I saw him before he died I kissed him and told him I loved him. When the topic came up about my beliefs I told him that we both knew what the Bible said about the topic. But I told him, "This is not between me and you, it's between you and God. You are my dear uncle and I will always love you". 

 And I have family and friends that are "trans" and believe in a plethora of genders.i believe in two genders, men and women. I love them. And because I believe this is a mental disorder, and against what God has said, it is no way 'transphobia'. I am not afraid of drag queens, or people who want to mutilate themselves or play dress up as the opposite sex. My heart breaks for them and I pray for them, but I am in no way afraid of them.

And because I reject the cult of Islam started by a child molester and murderer, doesn't mean I am afraid of them. The worst they can do is cut my head off and send me to heaven.

Now let us talk about real phobias of the left.

Trumpophobia: The Left is terrified he will be elected again. That is real fear that has led to countless witch hunts and gnashing of teeth.

Ecclephobia: Fear of the traditional church. It isn't enough that true Christians disagree with them. They are terrified that their rational arguments will win the day. So social media censors and bans any speech that is rational. Leftism is based on an agenda, not on rational truth.

Christophobia: Jesus healed the sick, fed the hungry, touched lepers and preached mercy and forgiveness. The Left thrives on revenge and violence and Jesus' opposition to this causes them to fear his words of love.

Babyphobia: The Left has tried to make abortion a sacrament because they fear that little babies will interfere with their lifestyles and careers. The idea of a baby scares them. This is extremely sick.

  I am not afraid of gays, trannies, Muslims, or lgbtqlmnop.

I'm kind of afraid of mice and dentists.

No the left is the true party of fear, hatred and division. Hatred and fear consume them.

  We pray for them and for our country. Don't let the little commies intimidate you.

God help us

Embryo. The New Talking Point for Murderous Pro Aborts

 

 I am showing my age here. I remember when Ted Kennedy and Jesse Jackson were pro!ife.

They forcefully condemned dismembering little babies alive. Then they were told by the Democratic Party  (you know, the Party of slaves and the Klan) to change and be for killing pabies, or they could forget running for President. They sold their souls to the baby Killing democrats.

  They have a new "talking point" now.  It is talking about embryos. I am on my 14th Facebook ban because some guy said Republicane care more about embryos than chi!dren.i simply pointed out most abortions take place after 8 weeks, and not at the embryonic stage. So I was banned.

 Now the Leftists are jumping on the "embryo" bandwagon. Just yesterday, I listened to the racist God hating, tax evading, dirt bag Al Sharpton talk about prolifers only caring about embryos.

  Of course we do care about every child , even embryos. But abortion kills little babies. Fetus is the Latin word for child.

  Get ready, this is their new talking point.

These people are the new Nazis. Babies to them are just another mouth to feed, a useless eater, to be killed and thrown out like garbage (unless vaccines can be made from them).

  Dear God help us.

Servant Leadership

          We live in interesting times. There is a tremendous labor shortage and massive turn over. There are three reasons in my opinion:

1. Vast numbers of Americans are on the Government welfare teat. The government encourages this because they want slaves dependent on them for free cheese.

2. Middle management in most companies do not make their employees feel like they are part of a family. They are not treated with respect, but like rented mules.

3.  Corporate Greed. Huge companies buoyed by support from Democrats, Rinos, and The Chamber of Commerce (local and national) advocate for unchecked immigration so they can pay slave wages, and increase profits by replacing American workers.

Having been in the workforce for 50 years, both in management and as an employee I believe I have certain insight. Also, the Bible certainly gives examples that management can put into practice.It is a fact that Servant Leadership is lacking and the result is employees no longer feel valued, resulting in a lack of loyalty.

  Philippians chapter two and John chapter 13 reveal Jesus' management style. And Jesus is our role model. Philippians 2 is known as the great Kenosis chapter. Kenosis is Greek for 'emptying'.

  Philippians 2. 5ff:

Have this mind among yourselves which is yours in Christ Jesus, who being God, did not cling to the rights and privileges of deity, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant.

  John 13.1-16 excerpts:

Jesus rose from supper, laid aside his garments and girded himself with a towel. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet. When he had finished washing their feet, he resumed his place ( at the head of the table,) and said to them, "Do you understand what I have done to you?". "You call me Teacher and Lord and you are right, for so I am". " If I your Lord and Teacher has washed your feet, you also should wash each others' feet. For I have given you an example."

 There is no question that Jesus was their boss. But he didn't feel the need to isolate himself. He ate with his subordinates. He attended weddings and funerals, he ate with Pharisees and sinners. He was available.

 Sam Walton understood this. He visited his stores. He asked employees for their ideas. He would get down on one knee to let them know he wasn't too good to interact with them. He eastablished the 'open door' policy that any employee could share their ideas or concerns with any member of management without fear of reprisal.

 Unfortunately, his lesson was abandoned shortly after his death. And most managers today have no concept of this. Employee input is unwelcome, and they are left out of the loop. They are not asked for imput, just told what to do. As a result employees do not feel ownership in their companies.

I experienced this at Walmart. 2 times I went to upper level management, to express concerns. Both times I was told in no uncertain terms to leave them alone if I wanted to keep my job.

In today's market employees must be made to feel  valued. Respect is just as important as a paycheck. It doesn't mean management should get entangled in employees' personal lives. But respect is earned. And employees who feel they are a valued partner in the business will be much more likely to stay.

How many marriages fail because a partner is taken for granted and not appreciated?

The same is true in secu!ar work as well as in church and ministry settings. Jesus showed us what a !eader should be !ike.

Ukraine and the Nazis

 

  The mainstream media, Left and Right, continue to ignore the historic and current relationship of the Ukraine and Nazis. They have created and promoted a one sided and false narrative. They are so invested in hating Russia and making Zylensky (a crooked despot) into a hero, that they refuse to look at the massive corruption of the Ukrainian government and their historic connection to Nazis.

  How quickly the Right forgot about VP  Biden publicly bragging about bribing the Ukrainian government to drop the investigation into Hunter. They ignore the Ukrainian Oligarchs like Burisma and the other Ukrainian gangsters in bed with dictator Zylensky. 

  During the rise of Hitler, the Ukrainians threw In with the Nazis hoping they would protect their independence from the USSR.

  In fact, in December 27, 2018, the Ukrainian Parliament declared Jan 1st a national holiday to honor Stepan Bandera a well known Nazi collaborator as a national hero.The Organization of Ukraine Nationalists, his supporters, committed countless war crimes against Jews.

The region of Lviv, Bandera's native city, declared 2019 "Stepan Bandera Year" sparking protests by Israel. Tarik Yousef Cyril Amar, academic director of Lviv's Center for Urban History of East Europe, returned an award conferred on him by the city in protest.

Zylensky has publicly called Bandera a hero and streets and schools are named after him throughout Ukraine.

  Ukraine's State Committee on Television and Radio Broadcasting , in Dec 2018, banned 'Book of Thieves' by Swedish historian Anders Rydell which documented the actions of Symon Petliura, a Ukrainian Nationlist whose troops murdered countless Jews in pogroms beginning in 1919.

Even Mark Levin, who I usually agree with, and who hates Putin, and has bought into the narrative that dictator Zylensky (who banned all opposition political parties) is a hero. Levin strangely enough concedes that Neo-Nazis control parts of the Ukrainian military and parts of the government.

Zylynsky who is supposedly Jewish, has no problem embracing Nazis, past and present if it furthers his agenda. 

 The Ukrainian government is a collection of crooks, fascists, and Nazis. The war in Ukraine is not bad guy vs good guy, but bad guy vs bad guy.

But it is now the custom in the US to pick a side and ignore any facts that we don't like. Some may say we can't say all the Ukrainian people are bad just because their government is a bunch of thugs. True, but the same must be said of the Russian people.

God help us,

Happy Earth Day Wackos

 

  When I listen to all this ridiculous save the Earth  crap, I have to relate some true interactions I have had with Gaia worshipping nuts.

 They are insane.  Between this, the climate hoax, and the pedo transgender agenda our youth are being turned into socialist zombies, tree hugging owl suckers, and morally dazed and confused.

Don't get me wrong, I love the wonderful world God has made. I love camping and floating. I have participated in river cleanups after floods.

 But the Earth is not my mother. Alice Keene is my mother. The Blessed Mother Mary, the Theotokos is my spiritual  Mother.

  I am going to relate some real  conversations I have had with environmentalist wackos.

These are people with graduate degrees, even doctorates. One said to me , "we are running out of water". I said, "look at a globe"

Another person, who was a good friend , who lived in Nova Scotia said, " we are running out of trees". I said,  "If you can count the trees in Nova Scotia, I'll give you a thousand dollars".

Another person said,  ""If we keep mining metal out of the Earth, the planet could fly out of orbit"

 Cuckoo. Some of these folks are crazier than a sprayed roach.

A few years ago our electric co-op had a cartoon In their magazine showing a little boy turning off a light switch saying, "I just saved the planet"

I emailed them and said, " I just turned every light on in the house, I'm gonna to destroy the planet"

  A sign at our local grocery store said,  'Buy a canvass bag and save our community". I told the cashier, "I want plastic, you are going down ". She looked at me like a cow at a new gate.

  I believe in good stewardship, but this Wacko panic porn is causing the loss of thousands of jobs, and is destroying our economy.

Biden said the military is going all electric.China must be laughing their butts off. I guess before we go to war we have to send in advance troops to install charging stations.

 There is no such thing as zero emission cars. The battery materials are strip mined using slave labor, and the batteries are made in factories powered by coal and gas.

You can have your Earth Day. As Hitler said,  "How lucky for rulers that men do not think"

God help us.

America's Short Memory and Hatred of Russia

    It has gone on since the beginning of time. Governments bring unity by finding someone we can hate together.

 Nazis hated Jews. Bolsheviks hate the rich. Leftists hate Trump. American hatred for Russia is irrational, vicious and blind. It isn't enough for us to oppose the Russian government. We want to destroy their economy causing devastation to the Russian people who have nothing to do with the war, they just are trying to live day to day.

    The most amazing thing has happened. Conservative and Liberals have come to a lovefest by hating Russians together. We can blame Russia for everything.

After years of the Leftist media covering up for liberals, including the Russia hoax against Trump, and Conservatives screaming about Leftist media bias, now all the sudden Conservatives believe the Left wing media in their narrative about Russia and Ukraine.

  Russia has become the scapegoat for Left and Right. The Left  blamed Russia for President  Trump..

  Now they have wrecked  the economy they are blaming Russia for US gas prices and massive inflation.

  On the Right everyone has joined the hate Russia band wagon. It inexplicable that those on Right believe the Media narrative without question..

  Russia has encouraged investigations into the genocide narrative. Our memory never goes back more than a year.

Zelensky is called a hero and a champion of  Democracy with no regard to history and no investigation. Two years ago Zelelensy disbanded all political parties but his own and became dictator.

 He has vowed punishing with great vengeance those who associate with Russia. When Russia withdraws from a town, the Ukranians move in and massacre Russian sympathizers, and claim the Russians are guily of genocide. They say they are going to 'derussiafy ' Ukraine.. This is accomplished by murdering Russians.

  In 2017 Ukrainian general Givi was under investigation by the UN for the massacre  of Russians in Donetsk.

When Givi died the investigation was dropped. 

In Kilmavo the Ukrainians have destroyed civilian neighborhoods.

In Bucha when the Russians withdrew the Ukrainians moved in and slaughtered Russian sympathizers and accused Russia of genocide. Eyewitness reports the same in Mariupol. Ukraine massacred civilians 

The Ukrainians have a history of genocide. During the 1940s they invaded Poland and murdered 100,000 civilians in Volhyni. They shot the men and drowned women and children in wells.

 The Polish Parliament voted just last year to accuse the Ukranians of genocide

War is evil. Russia under Stalin starved Ukrainians. It was horrible. But we look the other way at our own atrocities.

The US goes on and on about Russia attacking civilians.The US that incinerated 250,000 civilians in Japan. Our excuse? The Japanese would have fought to the last person so we nuked them.

Ukraine says they'll never surrender but we say Russia can't use nukes. The US starved 500,000 people in Iraq, murdered 200,000 civilians in Dresden, burned people alive with Napalm in Vietnam. 

It all stinks. Biden wanted war in Ukraine to distract from his failures. The US didn't lift a finger to stop this War. We needed Russia as a distraction.

Germany, the US, the Japanese,the Ukranians, Russia,China all have  massacred civilians.

And look at unspeakable genocide worldwide of unborn babies. In America it is a disproportional genocide of poor little black babies. And we talk about genocide?

War is wrong. The atrocities by Russia are abhorrent. But our unwavering, insane hatred of Russia is causing us to have a blind eye to other evidence.

We must remember the Russian people are not to be hated who have nothing to do with their government's decision. It is wrong to hate.

Cherish the Day

   Right now I am Mississippi for a few days to attend the funeral of my friend Robert Ainsworth. What a wonderful man. Our friendship goes back to the nineties. He is one of the smartest, kindest persons I ever knew. 

  Definitely the funniest. He could make me laugh, could make me cry. It has been 30 years, I can't even remember how we met. But I am pretty sure it was through Roy McMillan,  who no doubt welcomed Robert to heaven. My friend  Hunter Yerger and Robert mean so much to me. I saw Hunter and Ida today. And Gerry Hunsinger. We are all old and gray now and it took us a few minutes to recognize each other. I think Ida still looks the same, the years have been kind to her. :).

 The visitation was beautiful. Please pray for Susan, Robert's wife. This is hard even though we know heaven is real.

  It is so true that old age sneaks up on us.  Today we will lay Robert to rest. My heart is sad, yet I am honored to have known Robert. So grateful.

  Oh, my young friends, cherish every day.   Our lives are so short as you will find out one day.

  Blessed are those who fall asleep in the Lord.

Heaven is real. I love you Robert.

Offended by the C Word

 

  The Media, Democrats, and Rinos have successfully employed the demonic strategy revealed in the Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. In the book a senior demon is instructing an apprentice demon on how to get conspiracies to work. He said that the key is to get anyone who discovers conspiracies painted as a nutty conspiracy theorist.

  But everything I am about to say is highly documented. Many of the facts have been confirmed by documents obtained from the government under the Freedom of Information Act. Sometimes when we hear some things it seems too horrible to believe. When the Allies liberated Nazi Death camps the Generals insisted that pictures and films be made of the victims because the horrors they saw would be considered so horrible that people would deny it happened.

  So let's start with Fauci and the gruesome experiments he has funded. It is very easy to confirm the truth if you will do a little research.

  He gave 2 million dollars in grants to Tunesia and the University of Georgia for experiments that infected beagles with sand flies and poison. When the beagles would cry their vocal cords were cut. Beagles are used in experiments because they are so docile. The government has confirmed this has happened.

 In 2018 Fauci funded experiments at the University of Pittsburg where scalps from 5 month gestation aborted babies were sewn on to the backs of rats.

He funded experiments at Stanford University where the fingers of 18 week gestation aborted babies were sewn on rats.

 When the government in 2014 put a ban on Gain of Function experiments, where animal viruses were genetically altered to be able to infect humans Fauci funded these experiments in Wuhan. In 2017 the ban was lifted, but China had advanced so far Wuhan became the recipient of millions more dollars. Gates, who has publicly said the world's population needs to be reduced by 26% also funded vaccines. It is easy to find speeches he gave where he said vaccines could be used to reduce the population. His father was the head of Planned Parenthood who aborts millions of babies every year.

 Fauci's  obsession with using aborted babies has been used in developing vaccines for the China Plague. Stem cells from aborted babies are used in Johnson  and Johnson and AstraZeneca genetically manipulated RNA shots. Moderna and Pfizer use aborted baby stem cells in testing. Each of these companies has confirmed this.

 The China virus was derived from bat viruses to be able to easily infect humans. The purpose was to reduce the world's population through death and vaccination. Alternative treatments have been banned by the government because they want people to die or take the shots.

 This was deliberate. Fauci funded Gain of Function and Gates funded the RNA shots.

   They are mass murderers. They call their plage c__v_d to sanitize it as if it was like natural viruses.  I refuse to say the C word. I call it the Fauci China Murder Plague.

  That is what it is. This week I am traveling to a funeral of one of my dearest friends murdered by Fauci. It is no different than if Fauci had put a gun to his head. So many of my friends have been murdered by Fauci and Gates. They almost killed my wife.

 The saddest thing of all is that none of what I said can be refuted, yet when I tell people a yawn is the usual response.

One person said to me, "It's not that what you say isn't true, I just don't care"

  God have mercy on us.

Masters of War

 

  In the light of current events, I am going to make certain observations.  It is easy to see that one narrative is being parroted by the MSM, Left and Right, and no one dare disagree.

  One must follow the path of truth and not be led along by  the nose by a corrupt government and media which flourishes in the West. Keep an open mind if you can, and don't allow blind hatred of Russia keep you from looking at our own country.

   Come you Masters of War

   You that build the big guns 

   You that build the death planes 

   You that build all the bombs

   You that hide behind walls

   You that hind behind desks

   I just want you to know

   I can see through your masks

   

   Let me ask you one question

   Is your money that good?

   Will it buy you forgiveness?

   Do you think that it could?

   I think you will find

   When your death takes it's toll

   All the money you made 

   Will never buy back your soul 

                            Bob Dylan

     It must be duly noted: 

 

     1. That soldiers are merely pawns of those in high places.

     They serve their country, they don't make the big decisions. My oldest son, and many       of my closest friends are combat veterans who bravely fought to keep their buddies         alive and make it home safely.

    

     2.It is wrong to attack non combatants.

   

      That being said, just think about the way truth is ignored and lies are the order of

      the day. 

       We are bombarded day and night with news from our Government and Media               saying Russia is the devil,  Russia has used cluster bombs to attack civilians and 

     Putin is a war criminal.

      This is from a country that incinerated and vaporized a quarter of a million civilians

     with atomic bombs. A country that used Agent Orange and Napalm to poison                     and burn people alive. This from a country that attacked Iraq because of what Saudi

     Arabians did. A country that promised Ghaddaffi that if Libya gave up nuclear                       ambitions there would be peace, then when he did we attacked Libya and killed him.

     This from a country that carpet bombed Dresden in WWII and killed 200,000                     civilians. This from a country that carpet bombed Serbia killing civilians and                     blowing up Orthodox churches. 

      Now we claim to be better than Russia? Don't piss down my back and tell me it's             raining.

      We claimed Iraq had weapons of mass destruction so we blew up their country.               Just a few months ago the State Department and the WHO warned that Ukraine had

     25 chemical and biological facilities which generated horrible possibilities. But only        the US is allowed to invade, gas, bomb and destroy. Only our wars are just.

    There is much more going on than we are being told. Neocon war mongers have said 

    they want to destroy Russia's economy. Is that not attacking civilians?

   Surely war is hell. And I am not defending Russia's massive bombing. But we are the 

    biggest hypocrites. Lindsay Graham always wants war. His Superpac raised 2 million      dollars from military contractors during his Presidential campaign.  The military industrial war         machine loves war. But we want to decide who goes to war that will bring the biggest 

   profits. The US dismembers 4000 babies alive every day and now we want to claim 

   the moral high ground. How much money are US weapons makers making by arming Ukraine?

   God help us. We need to take a look in the mirror.

Don't Poke the Bear

 

Don't Poke the Bear

Please pray for the people of Ukraine. War is hell. Our strategy has been nothing but poking the Russian bear since the collapse of the USSR.

   We arm the Baltic and East European States surrounding Russia getting nation after nation to join NATO.

   Russia asked to join NATO and we said no. If we had allowed Russia to join it would have been a strong deterrent to Chinese aggression. 

The CIA sponsored the 2014 coup that removed  a duly elected President simply because he was friendly with Russia and installed a US puppet. Ukraine is trying to join NATO.

After the coup Ukraine attempted to take over Russia's military bases in Crimea. This is why it was annexed.

   We've made Russia our scapegoat and slandered and lied about them constantly. Witness the Democrats' fake Russian scandal against President Trump.

   Democrats like the Bidens raking in millions

 from Ukraine all the while making up collusion stories about Russia 

 We engage in wars and nation building constantly all the while painting the Russians as aggressors.

 We point out Russian troop locations and reveal their military secrets. We threaten them with sanctions constantly wagging our finger at them. 

 War mongers like Lindsey Graham have publicly called for the destruction of the Russian economy. We interfere with a Russian pipeline to Germany meddling in their financial affairs.

 President Trump avoided wars and tried to have good relations with Russia, but the Deep State kept him from being able to do so, accusing him of collusion when all he wanted was peace 

I am NOT for this war in Ukraine. But I understand Russia getting fed up being treated like a pariah and being constantly bullied by the US.

We poked the bear. And poked the bear. Over and over for decades. Now the bear is pissed off. 

 It is just as much our fault what is happening now. It's what happens when you poke a bear.

God help us,  

Jack

Turn YOUR Other Cheek

   Today's Gospel reading is well known. It is important to read in context and in relation to the rest of the New Testament.

Luke 6. 27-30

 "I say to you that hear, Love YOUR enemies, do good to those who hate YOU, bless those who curse YOU, pray for those who abuse YOU. To him who strikes YOU on the cheek, offer the other also; and from him who takes away YOUR coat do not withold even YOUR shirt. Give to everyone who begs from YOU: and of him who takes away YOUR goods do not ask them again."

  Here we see what I call 'personal pacifism'. Jesus did not say to stand by while others are being slapped and abused.  God never tells us, that we should stand by while women and children are being beaten and abused. 

Romans 13 also makes it clear that LAWFUL government punishes the bad and protects the good. When government reverses their role and punishes the good and rewards the bad, that government is illigitimate. But that is a topic for another sermon. 

 We only have the right to forgive those who harm us personally. We have no right to forgive those who harm a third party. Only that person or God can forgive them.

Many well meaning people have not paid attention to what Jesus is saying. If someone hits you, you have the right and obligation to forgive them. If you see someone beating a child, you have no right to "forgive" them, but an obligation to intervene. 

Death penalty opponents are the worst. They say as Christians we should forgive those who have raped and or murdered someone else. Only if they rape and murder us personally can we forgive. Society and Christians cannot forgive those who harm others. Such forgiveness is wrong and meaningless.

 They tell people that they should forgive someone who killed their loved ones. We cannot forgive them because it wasn't us that was wronged.

 We can choose not to hate. That is true and as Christians we must avoid hate. But we cannot forgive someone for what they did to someone else. Only that person or God has that right. 

 Real men protect women and children. Real men too are called to be martyrs if need be, but we have no right to offer others up as martyrs.

If you strike me, with God's help I will turn the other cheek. If you strike my wife , children or grandbabies, I will give you so many lefts you'll beg for a right. 

  Another example. My wife and I were both in a high risk area for the China Fauci Plague. I am 65 and overweight. She is diabetic. When we tested positive our regular physician refused to treat us. Thousands of people and many of my friends have died because doctors refused therapeutics.  If I didn't have family members that are physicians who treated us,  my wife would have died, and I possibly could have.

  Now, I forgive the person who refused to treat me and pray for them. But I have no right to forgive them for not treating her. I cannot, should not, do not forgive or have the right to forgive the CDC for murdering untold thousands by refusing therapies to those when they are newly diagnosed.

    Even Jesus demonstrated this. When he was on the Cross he forgave those who beat, tortured and killed him.

  But in Matthew 23 he blasts the Pharisees for leading people to hell. He didn't forgive them for what they did to others. 

 Satan loves it when we abrogate our duties as parents, friends, neighbors , and law enforcement to defend the innocent by misinterpreting Jesus words.

 God help us!
