Indeed, protesting PEACEFULLY is protected by our constitution. But liberals havent been peaceful in their protests for decades.
Do the Protesters even know what they are Protesting ( Minneapolis).

I am taking your advice and trying to be careful where i go with this Brother Nick, so it appears that Twistie thinks " Your words show you walk with a darkness or a evil entity or a imp what ever one may want to call it..", If someone said that to you, what would be your reply?.
I try to base my actions and words on Christs teachings and as best i know do believe that i am walking towards the Light of his Truth. I have asked for specific details of where she believes i am being led into darkness but she wont give them.
Without further clarity how can i believe that she is indeed being spoken to by God, for it goes against all i currently hold as the truth based on Christs words in the Gospels.
Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated
With the love of Christ Jesus Brother Nick
Steve.
Just a couple of examples then would suffice, where you believe my words or actions are showing that i "walk in the Darkness" and have "an evil entity or an imp".
Amen to that!.
Hi Richard, while i share your sentiments about Trump and his policies regarding immigration, i think its important to note that we are ALL Evil in the sight of God, and while Trump may be an extreme example of this, ALL administrations have engaged in policies that are abhorrent to God. The Devil could only offer Christ ALL the kingdoms of this world because ALL the kingdoms of this world are in his Power.
This isnt to say that we shouldnt protest and campaign against the Evils of the world, the same way we pray for forgiveness for the sins we commit and the evil within us that spawns those sins, , but we must do so bearing in mind Christs commandment to "Love your enemies, do good for those that hate you and bless those that curse you and pray for those that spitefully use and persecute you".
We are not Left or right, conservative or Liberal, we are "Christ centred" and his teachings and his commandments should be reflected in our every thought and action.
How do they show that?, which of my words show that i "walk with a darkness or a evil entity or a imp what ever one may want to call it.."?
Hi Bill, i would just say dont believe all you see on Facebook, youtube and " a few other things". Its so easy for someone to pretend to be other then themselves and sow lies and deceit. Unless of course you have independent corroboration of these facts, which i would be interested to see.
Would be interested to see that proof bill, i'm not doubting what youre saying, it may well be true, but i would like to see the evidence for myself. Thanks
I think its so easy for ALL of us to be "blinded by our Politics" Brother Nick, if we give our allegiance to any Human Institution then its so easy for us to become tainted by the corruption and Evil inherent in all Human organisations and forget that our only allegiance should be to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Agreed, violence in whatever its form should never be used by a follower of Christ, "turn the other cheek, Love your enemies, do not resist evil" are calls for a deep pacifism inherent in Christs teachings.

Youve really got to let go of this blind adherence to Conservative ideology and a seeming hatred of the "left" in all its various forms and understand that you must instead be "Christ Centred" in all you say and do.
If you claim to be a follower of Christ then he must have ALL of your allegiance, his teachings and his life are the sole arbiter of your values and how you lead your life.
And those values, are the values of Justice, Love and compassion summed up in Christs words of " Love your Neighbour as yourself" and "treat others as you'd want to be treated", there are no exceptions, no distinction based on Politics, Nationality religion, or gender, and there is no room for Hate in the life of a follower of Christ, unless it is to hate the sinful lives we lead.
Hi Brad, violence isnt restricted to any one Group or political alignment, ask the residents of Charlottesville in August 2017 or the Police officers on duty in Washington on January 6th 2021.
We are ALL capable of violence in thought, word and deed and as Christians must try to follow Christs commandments to Love our Enemies and treat others as we'd want to be treated.
We are ALL "very evil beings", and ALL in dire need of Gods Grace, Mercy and Forgiveness, those that seek to judge others should perhaps take the log out of their own eye so they can see clearly to remove the speck from their Brothers/Sisters.
