Did "Black Lives Matter"/BLM Only Wash Its Face with Website Changes?

There is much excitement and activity in the world, today, about humans being unjust with other humans, about other people’s past and present sins, and who “matters” more than others. This all must be put in the godly perspective that there is a rise and fall in life, through which each of us must proceed, no matter what our good or bad accomplishments (earthly or godly), or who takes notice of them. We must remember that God struck Moses’ sister Miriam with leprosy when she complained that Moses had married an Ethiopian woman. We must remember that God hates the sin of prejudicial self-interest, no matter what tint or shade of skin with which people are born.

There is only one human race, for we all got off the same Ark, all our present gene pool landed with Noah’s family of eight people. All the rest of the people in the world were destroyed by that great worldwide flood that submerged and drowned everything. So, all the uppity nose-in-the-air nonsense is wrong for any of us to practice. God made us all in His image. It is our personal and collective sin against God that we all should be hating, not hating each other. Instead of arguing with each other, we should be chastening ourselves about why we are resisting obedience to God’s Word, for it is His Word of Life to us. If we really choose to live God’s truth, then we shall love, cherish, and respect one another, seeking to help one another return to God’s ways when we see our brothers, our sisters, our youth, our elders, or our neighbors fall into sin.

I was reading in 2 Kings 11:21 through 2 Kings 12:21 about the rise and fall of a king who started at 7 years old, did a lot to serve the LORD righteously, and was murdered at 47. Though his life was cut off, he lived successfully, as God defines success in Joshua 1:8.

What shall be said about our lives at God’s Judgment, whether we live a short life or a hundred years? Have we even taken the time to read His Word and find out if we are on His side? Have we accepted or rejected His plan of salvation? (which we can read, here, in many languages)… We all shall give account to God for all of our thoughts, feelings, and actions in which we have engaged in this life. God’s perfect judgment shall prevail, so it is important that we look to His Word to see how we measure up, for He says we all fall short of Him and His ways because of our sinful natures and our self-indulgence.

We must all repent, and must turn to His way of salvation. Only from that foundation shall we remove the painful obstruction of sin from our own eyes, so that we can then “judge righteous judgment” as He commands us to do. Only then shall we begin to understand godly biblical knowledge by which to measure and challenge every sin that humanity commits. God only offers us Jesus Christ as God’s way for us to escape from eternal condemnation of all of our sin. Only the sinless blood of Christ paid for it all. By His bodily resurrection from death He proved Himself God over all things, able to perform every one of His written promises in His Word, the Bible.

God commands us to obey the people and rules in governmental authority over us, as long as they don’t violate God’s Word. Yes, there is a LOT of room for all of our human institutions to improve and draw nearer to God and His ways. We must remember that no human government or organization can act in harmony with God or properly serve our fellow man unless its objectives, actions, and judgments are based in God’s truth and Word. However, our citizenry has allowed our government to move away from godly government, even as we have moved away from godly living. We have all been guilty, at some point, of pointing sin-stained fingers at others.

The BLM movement is no exception. Now, or in the past, the Black Lives Matter movement, as many other groups, have publicly and in their websites stated that they seek to promote unholy relationships and activities that God says are abominations, even to the point of publishing in their websites that they seek to tear down the “nuclear family” as God defines family. Only a few weeks ago, BLM had several manifesto-like website comments, in their About and What We Believe links, including intentions to attack the nuclear family and to foster their promotion of unholy relationships and unholy actions. Their anti-family info (from their website) must have quickly spread across the internet, for it seems to have utterly disappeared.

Instead of continuing to, publicly, admit their formerly published hostile intents, they seem to have scrubbed and shortened the appearance of many areas of their public website, including their About and What We Believe links. Today, I could not relocate the formerly posted hostile comments. Either BLM mistakenly allowed some anti-God anti-family radical/s to gain access to their IT department and post misrepresentations of BLM goals and objectives, OR… BLM is now retreating from their former public attack on the nuclear family and hiding their true intents. IF some radical person/s posted those hostile comments and intents contrary to BLM policy and objectives, there has been no posting or no public apology on their website regarding the former hostile comments that sought the destruction of the nuclear family. Therefore, comparing their past and present website info, BLM appears to be a group that has no respect for God, His ways, or godly family structure.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.Galatians 6:7

God bless you as you walk with Him according to His Word.

Sin: What Does It Mean? What Is It?

Today, in 2020, most of the world seldom uses the word "sin" or its equivalent, unless referring to things that we do not like someone else doing. Humanity seldom uses that word in reference to ourselves or our own actions. What does that word "sin" mean, that we are so selective about how we use it? What does God mean by it?

The origin of the word "sin", in English, goes way back, rooted in older languages that have influenced our modern American English, and yet, even then, it still referred to one's actions being morally off the mark and not in agreement with God's ways. In Spanish the word "sin" means without, though the Spanish word for sin is "pecado". The Spanish could very well say "sin justicia", "sin la bendiciĆ³n de Dios", or "sin santidad", meaning without righteousness, without the blessing of God, and without holiness, for those are all sinful states of action and being. Every time we go against what God says, whether in thought, word, or deed, we choose to sin against Him, and, in our sin we violate ourselves, for God designed us, made us, and gave us free will, that we should choose to live holy lives and walk with Him, rather than to serve our own fleshly lusts and fantacies.

Whether we say that sin is morally out of synch with God or without God's blessing, the sense and impact of the actions of sin are the same. God says, Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.”. God is speaking of His Law, not the willy-nilly laws of humanity that are contrary to the things that God has said.

God warns humanity, as He warned the Jews in Exodus, "...be sure your sin will find you out." He further tells us that, "...the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.", and that all who refuse to repent, the devil, sin, death, and hell itself shall be "...cast into the lake of fire..." at God's Final Judgment. There are few souls in this life, compared to the world's population, who are willing to speak honestly of these things, so I challenge the reader to take this seriously, for it is NOT an argumentative exercise nor a religious rant. God said this stuff and He is eternally serious about it, wanting to see you trust Him and what He has said. He's patient, but He's not going to wait forever for you to choose Him and His ways.

Anyone who wants to know God's remedy for our sin can know it with God's full assurance. Read God's solution in John and Romans. Trust God's one and only Savior, Jesus Christ, for God's plan of salvation is the only eternal plan that God ever made and approved for redeeming all of us who are willing to repent and turn to Him.

Innocent Bloodshed in USA: Are We REALLY Fighting for the Rights of Everyone?

Most citizens of the USA are not well-versed about the biology of a baby's life inside the child's mother, nor with what God's Bible says about when human life begins. The baby is a discrete human being, separated from the mother's body from the moment of conception, though the baby is reliant on the mother for protection and sustenance as it grows in her womb. The baby is not part of the mother's biological system, but has its own. The baby is not the property of the mother, but a uniquely formed human being.

Norma McCorvey (the real Jane Roe) spoke out about her role in the deceptive legal travesty that became the Roe v. Wade decision of the U.S. Supreme Court. Here is McCorvey's reported later legal deposition that admits the illegal deception that opened the door to more than 60 million babies being executed since Roe v. Wade was allowed by SCOTUS.

Proverbs 6:16-19
16  These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17  A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18  An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19  A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. 

Since God created this world and humanity, He has not approved of premeditated bloodshed of any innocent people, born or unborn. Just like Cain killing his brother Abel, for Cain's own selfish reasons, abortion is humanity violating God's realm. No matter how desperate the human situation, the deliberate killing of unborn babies is against biology and God. Yes, God has tolerated war and the execution of evildoers to stop the spread of sin, but too often, people fail to understand or accept God's definition of truth.

God is very concerned that people stop the slaughter of innocents, but He leaves the choice up to us, to see if we are going to continue to indulge our sins instead of doing things His way. We're all going to answer to Him for this ongoing nationwide infanticide.

In the USA, in 2020, there is little active interest or support for unborn children and their right to life. The great majority of our people are (with great focus on self-preservation) mainly living in fear or protesting virus related policies, plus all sorts of "politically correct" issues. Outside of the few who want to protect the rights of unborn babies, US citizens continue to fall into one of four major camps about the murder of our unborn children: they either ignore, don't care, may support, or even advocate the killing of unborn US children, while, in the pretense of righteousness and goodness, they have all their favorite "PC" topics and groups that they believe in or support. What a hypocritical way to live, to say one wants truth, equality, and righteousness, but yet refuse to be willing to publicly admit and call murder murder? Many people publicly exercise their energy, shouts, and anger, voicing their feelings about abuses toward people of certain skin colors or social backgrounds, among the living. However, when will those same argumentative people choose to direct their ferocity into a selfless fight against the murder of innocent unborn children?

The USA needs to repent! Here is God's way to make eternal peace with this and every contentious issue.
