Its not good etiquette to answer a question with a question, soooo....., my question still stands, "So to be clear, are you saying that the Holy Spirit told you that "the protesters were paid by Somalis to protest"?, or that "the online community is not known for being honest"?, or both?.", i asked first, so answer my question first, then i'll answer yours.
I dont play spiritual games with people who dont have a clue how the Holy Spirit works. I dont want to give enemies of the faith ammunition to use against christians.Its not good etiquette to answer a question with a question, soooo....., my question still stands, "So to be clear, are you saying that the Holy Spirit told you that "the protesters were paid by Somalis to protest"?, or that "the online community is not known for being honest"?, or both?.", i asked first, so answer my question first, then i'll answer yours.
So you havent got any specific news reports or articles that youve verified to support your belief that "the protesters were paid by Somalis to protest." Could i make a suggestion, if youre going to post contentious opinions then its always a good idea to have specific articles or reports that can support those opinions, otherwise people just might think your views are more a product of your prejudices and bias rather than fact based assessments of the situation.
Whos playing "Spiritual games", certainly not me, as to "having a clue how the Holy Spirit works", well i'm always a little wary to say the least of those who claim that the Holy Spirit supports their particular beliefs and prejudices without firm evidence that those beliefs are firmly grounded in Christs teachings.. For as you so rightly say , it tends "to give enemies of the Faith ammunition to use against Christians". I can well remember a particular televangelist who claimed that God had told him he needed a private jet, to go along with his fleet of Limousines and Mansions. Yes , the Holy Spirit is used in many ways to justify what is blatantly unjustifiable if you believe that Christs teachings reflect how we, as his followers, should live our lives. And to answer your question, even though it seems youre not going to answer mine, that for me is "Authentic Christianity", allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us through the teachings and commandments of Christ so that we do his will, and do not twist and pervert his words and teachings to fulfill our own Political, social, religious and ideological agenda.
Why does it matter where i live, its Gods world is it not, ALL OF IT, not just the US, not just the UK, but ALL OF IT, you really need to understand that. As for my immigration status, what difference does that make to the point i'm trying to make, and i care about all people, not just my own little group, or crowd, or city, or nation, but ALL, Christ never imposed barriers on our Love and compassion, in fact he did the opposite, and if you read the Sermon on the Mount more often you might get to understand that.
tl;dr
The only people offended (if they even care) are the Somali Muslims and I did not tip toe in my Helicopters in Vietnam and though I know my stomping places me on the Brotherhood's "Heads Off" List I will not run my pigs into the ocean and I will never suck up to anyone wearing a dish rag on their head. I know what I know because I keep up with current events. If you do not... May Yashua teach you better.
