Black And White

SCRIPTURE
This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another. We must not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and killed his brother. And why did he kill him? Because Cain had been doing what was evil, and his brother had been doing what was righteous.
~I John 3:10-11
QUOTE
Liberals hate America, they hate flag-wavers, they hate pro-lifers, they hate all religions except Islam, and Islam is the religion of hate.
~Ann Coulter
COMMENTARY
The Muslims gunned down a little ten year old Coptic Christian girl who was on her way home from Sunday School. They justify such atrocious violence by blaming Christians for the removal of their president. First of all, there is no justification for murdering a ten year old child. The Western media, except for Fox, has shown no moral outrage. Can you imagine the frenzy if this had been 10 year old Muslim murdered by Christians? None is more blind than he who refuses to see. The typical liberal response is that this is just a radical element of Islam. Let me get something straight: there are Muslims who believe in violence and there are Muslims who oppose violence, is this right? What if we have a group of Southern Baptist who start murdering 10 year old Muslims and our response is…”These are not typical Baptist, they are the extremist, the radical element of the convention.” No, that would not be our response, we would distance ourselves from the haters immediately: someone would have to come up with a new name. We would be the first to denounce the violence of the haters. Why doesn’t this happen in Islam? Why do you never hear one Muslim condemn another for killing a Christian or a Jew or anyone who opposes them?
Did you remember Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggert. Did the media point out that they were Assembly of God. No, they did not, the lumped them into the same basket as all other professing believers. All Christians suffered reproach for what these two did. The world which includes the media does not make a distinction between one Christian group and another but with Muslims, they continually tell us that there are distinctions…the Muslims who shot a 10 year old girl through the heart are not representative of all Muslims. Bologna, use your brain folks, if you were a member of a religion that practiced hate and murder, wouldn’t you find another religion? You would unless deep down your were in agreement or sympathy. If Southern Baptist start killing ten year old kids who refuse to become Southern Baptist, I am going to have be something other than a Southern Baptist. I’ll go one better than that: if Southern Baptist vote next June to condone abortion, I will become something other than a Southern Baptist. It is black and white, why can’t people see the truth? By the way, Southern Baptist are more pro-life than ever, I was just using that as an analogy.
EXTRA
- I talked to Ronnie Shipley on Friday…He said the triplets are doing well. He was telling me that one was not found for a while because he was so small. The doctor suggest removing him saying he was not getting enough nourishment. Emily said no, “God put him there and we are going to leave him.” I think Ronnie said that in two weeks, he not only caught his brothers, he passed them. He is now the biggest of the three. Our God is an awesome God, amen!
- My sister Beth had a surprise Birthday party last night at Terranova Italian Restaurant. I almost made myself sick eating the bread. I was out late and got in bed late. Yes, I missed the football game but from what I’ve heard, didn’t miss much.
