Charlie Kirk

anyhow, christians have always had to meet in secret. always.

you want to be the next charlie Kirk... you need to be ready to be killed. its just how it is.

Jesus told us to be screwed as serpents and wise as doves.

Paul tells us to live a quiet life. well... he didn't. maybe he was speaking from experience.
Hi Joestue, how ya doing ?

Yes many sites that are called Christian are dying, and some are actually not of God to begin with, and some God actually wants dead, because he is not in it.

When we read the bible, it seems that one thing that the apostle Paul and others did, is sought the Lord's face, and sought the leading of the Spirit, and there are times God said no go not into that city or place, other times he did allow such and such, we do need to let our light shine in the darkness, but also have discernment, and go by God's leading.

There are some who go into the fire with people in trying to change them, but they end up being changed, so we must guard our hearts, and carefully walk with God, and know his heart even on the present matter.

Is it wise to be on every Christian site you can think of, no, but as the Lord directs you, do so, but carefully walk with God.

As you say Joestue be wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove.
 
Ya in certain cases, we may have to meet in secret, and be careful of ecumenicalism, which purports to be true unity, but is not.

Ecumenicalism is infiltrating everything, it seems even TPUSA.

Yes if we want to be effective in ministry, we have to understand fully what Jesus meant when he said apart from me you can do nothing.

The internet is dying in terms of usefulness for public discord. All the information everyone puts on it is being vacuumed up and recorded forever. And will likely be used against you, forever.

I have heard a few plausibly accurate accounts from as far back as as 15 years ago in which the fbi Investigated a juvenile or young adult for making a bomb threat online. The feds showed up to his parents house with on the order of 2 bankers boxes of his internet history, just to scare him with how much they knew about.

Back in 2005 i creeped out a handful of my highschool acquaintances by suggesting we build a database of every unique person on the internet by scraping all the data you can. (Myspace was the biggest but there were like 70 others).

Today everyone has an understanding that the advertisers already did that...
 
Hello Rad,
I thought the entire episode in question would benefit anyone interested. I also added a Snopes review, which of course is not conservative to see their thoughts.

Thanks for sharing. It's good to look at the entirety of man before coming to a decision, but as a Christian we also know that we all fall short in one way or another. Only Jesus is that perfect one that we should look to.

With the Love of Christ Jesus.

Thanks for that reply Nick, it helped to put it into context, from the video i watched it looked like Charlie Kirk was endorsing 12 year olds being executed, now it seems he was endorsing children watching executions, although an age of consent wasnt specified, it still seems far from Christs teaching, obviously the taking of anothers life was OK with him and he considered himself able to cast the first stone, i have come across other quotes and videos where Charlie was talking about some Black women not having the Brain power of whites and that if he saw a black pilot flying his plane he'd ask to see their qualifications, i've seen him saying that MLK jnr "was awful, Hes not a good person" and was critical of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 banning discrimination against Black people and that he believed gun deaths and mass shootings were "worth it", heres the quote "Turning Point USA CEO and co-founder Charlie Kirk said of gun deaths on April 5, 2023, "I think it's worth it. I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.". I hear what you say about none of us being perfect, but when do we get to the point where are words and actions are so contrary to the faith we profess as to make that faith meaningless. Can you imagine Christ agreeing with any of the things Charlie Kirk said?.,
 
When Jesus saw an evil spirit in someone, He would often cast it out. The person would be left with the choice to let evil invade again or to protect himself with a "strong man" (The Holy Spirit is the strong man in me that protects me from such invasion). But we dont have the inclination or ability due to seperation between church and state to cast any evil spirit out of evil people. We must be content to let God's chosen authorities found amoung human justice systems to deal with the evil in people. And perhaps you like evil people (we are not talking about minor sins here) to be free to commit more and more evil upon others, but me being sane and wanting a justice in this world and knowing it will happen in the next, I want to see swift justice for the sake of those who cry out for justice. Sometimes even people who we consider underage (it varies with cultures and history) do terribly evil things and laugh about the crimes in front of those who seek justice... thinking they are free to do more due to their age. In some cases where I see no repentence, I would be glad to see the death penalty given, broadcast publicly for the sake of the other evil people out there. Often its only the threat of death that would make people fearful of retribution and cut down on such violent crimes. They shut down mental institutions and can only jail for a time evil people, who often come out more evil than they did when they were incarcerated. Perhaps you like a world filled with evil people who are given free reign to commit more and more evil. I dont. But back to topic. Post a link to said video where I can see if some parts of the video was left out to try and make him look bad. You were pretty vague about it.
Hi Brad, Heres that video you requested, the relevant part is at 5:27, i'll reply to your post fully when i have more time
