All 3 of these groups are violent ...whether it's Antifa, BLM, the Proud Boys, or so-called conservative Trump supporters....
It is grossly unfair to lump the Proud Boys and conservative Trump supporters with BLM and Antifa. Indeed it is ABSURD to do so, and simply confuses the issue. So if you wish to be a voice of reason, then you need to make fair assessments. On the other hand, if you are a Leftist then you might as well come out and say so.

BLM and Antifa are committed to (1) Marxism, (2) Fascism, (3) Anarchy, and (4) Chaos. The destruction that they have wreaked in the cities of America is horrendous. But Proud Boys and conservative Trump supporters are TOTALLY OPPOSED to the destruction of America by the Left.

Where would the ones here on this forum fit who advocate violence?

If you choose not to take into account all the times I've said that I support neither Biden nor Trump ...I can't communicate with you. If I believed votes counted, I'd still not vote for Trump although I would lean even farther "right/conservative" than most Republicans. I simply have never witnessed anything but corruption from politicians ...and I mean FIRSTHAND experience.

I do not believe we are to vote for a "lesser evil." I can't do that...

Edit: And for any who would read into this that because I wouldn't vote for Trump, that it means I would vote Biden ....you have assumed incorrectly. The conclusion is that even if I believed votes counted, I couldn't with a good conscience place my vote of approval on either.

Not necessarily. However out of the heart the mouth speaketh. I have yet to hear you say that Donald Trump has been FALSELY ACCUSED in order to destroy him. And Christians should reprove the works and workers of darkness.
I am not going to trade scriptures with you or argue the point. I purposely did not express my own opinion. I was defending @Adoration against what to me was an foolish attack. And are you insisting that I defend myself here? I won't as I see no edification for the Body of Christ to be accomplished in it. Draw your own conclusions.

My gentle friend... I do thank you for your support... you have no idea what it means to me... but I fear I have drawn ire from some for my opinions... Please do not feel the need to come to my aid any longer... as I am quickly learning how to hold my own and tread water. Blessings to you... Sadly... what should have been NO big deal... has turned into a THREE day affair... and that is mind-boggling.

No problem sister! Even now I am biting my tongue because there are too many spirits speaking here that are not the Holy Spirit. If I open my mouth to protest or argue over such things, I am also guilty. I am praying now for God to calm me as I back away. Help us dear Lord!

Sister, the animosity is not on my part. I am being falsely accused of hatred when I am simply stating what I KNOW and more especially what God showed me would happen before he was even in office. It js Trump supporters who hate me. Take a look at the posts of Trump supporters who have advocated killing over this mess ....I have not advocated violence. Now....who is hating, sister??? Please step back, put your political views aside and assess this honestly. For me, this isn't about politics, because I know for fact that both sides are corrupt and complicit with the NWO.

Sister, the Word of God is clear....the answer is humility and praying and turning from OUR wicked ways .....the people of God, not those who know they're wicked. I have asked God to have His way ...to keep us from evil and deliver us from the plans of the enemy.


Psalm 27 (KJV) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¹¹ Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. ¹² Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. ¹³ I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. ¹⁴ Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
I am a Christian on this forum who voted for Trump and I continue to support his efforts to expose the corruption. I wholeheartedly believe God appointed him for this position.
But I am not one as you described in your post 151 implying that whatever Trump says to do I will do it.
What you said caused even myself to put on my armor and start defending myself and others from the fiery darts.
I continue to seek God about our leaders and pray for them. Even if it is Biden/Harris because whatever agenda they put forward affects my grandkids more than it does me.
I never want to see this country become a socialist or communist country.
In any case, I don't have any desire to go back and forth on this. So I won't be responding anymore.
Have a blessed day.

Crazy! I told my son days ago..."You watch, they'll try to pin this off on BLM or Antifa." I saw people on this very forum who call themselves Christian who stated they would happily and with joy and conviction, take up arms to defend Trump and take back the "steal." I have NO DOUBT that Trump has gotten so much influence in the hearts and minds of his followers that when he said, "Come to the White House on the 6th, it'll be wild" ...they would do exactly what he said! No doubt....
A journalist saw an Antifa operative in the Capitol building. The operative later posed as an innocent bystander on CNN. A person has to be seriously naive to think that Antifa and their ilk were not there stirring up trouble.

The title of this thread is Peaceful Protests in Washington.... The protests on Capital Hill were NOT peaceful...

They were by comparison to what the liberal news media called "peaceful protests" as they were accomplished by the BLM movement...at least on Capitol Hill no fires were started...

I still remember how the liberal news media reported the BLM protests as being "peaceful" with fires raging in the background. Either we are to believe what they report out of their mouths or we are to believe what we see with our eyes...

On a certain level, this is an attack on what we know to be biblical doctrine, that we are to walk by faith, and not by sight...knowing that faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of the Lord...

I think that there is a time and a place for everything, and that yes, in certain circumstances, we need to go by what our eyes see...

This does not change the fact that on January 6th... Capital Hill was broken into... the police barrier was breached... and there was much damage done inside the building... Those who broke in are CRIMINALS... no matter if they are Trump Supporters or BLM or ANTIFA.

yet, if they were Antifa, it is also a crime that this is being blamed on Trump supporters, don't you think?

Sadly... because I have extreme trust issues... I don't take kindly to those who come into these forums and claim to be RIGHT at the expense of everyone else being WRONG.

You would probably have an issue with Jesus Himself then...for He claimed that He is the truth.

I truly believe NOW is the time to place down our swords... humble ourselves... repent and TURN to HIM.... He is the ONLY one who can save us.

Who is carrying a sword, other than the sword of the Spirit (Hebrews 4:12, Ephesians 6:17)?

We are certainly not called to lay down the sword of the Spirit in any situation...

Well... my position is this.... ANYONE and EVERYONE who broke into Capital Hill on January 6th... should be... prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law...

Except, that there were those who found themselves inside the capitol building because it was what everyone else was doing. Should they be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law if violence was never intended by them?

I do not believe we are to vote for a "lesser evil." I can't do that...

Then by default, you are giving half a vote to the "greater evil". Have you considered that?

@Enoch111 @Taken @wip and anyone else who still believes Antifa was responsible for the Capitol break-in and riots. You all got to see the truth.

These are the people who have been charged so far

Republican politician faces 1.5 years jail over Capitol riots, man who invaded Pelosi's office charged

I think this should say enough about who was responsible, regardless of who was responsible this was horrible.

Also after Mike Pence did not overturn the Election. This is nasty and a terrible reaction.

And it's not over yet...
FBI warns of armed protests
FBI warns of more violence in the US ahead of Inauguration Day

I would highly recommend any members on here thinking to attend these armed protests, to stay out of these, stay safe, stay at home, stay alive and keep out of trouble..

I don't believe that the likes of Antifa were involved in initiating the violence, I know they were. I have seen the tapes of them doing so. And I have seen the tapes of trump supporters trying to stop them. The left mob was behind this. If you think it was trump and/or his supporters you are very much mistaken.

I have not heard anything indicating that Trump told anyone to commit violence... And the OP is correct, this would be called a mostly peaceful protest if It were not a crowd of conservatives.

Very flawed thinking. I am not responsible for what everyone else does, only for what I do.

Let me ask you a question ...if you were in a situation where you have 2 choices, and those choices are ... #1, kill a small child, or #2, watch the child be tortured and then killed in front of you. Which would you choose? Is there a lesser evil here?

This is in prelude to a point I want to make....

No familiar with Frank Costanza but with serenity now would be a good thing. Who will work with the Lord on it so that He will help us to have it?

Give God the glory!

I've heard today that the Democrats are wanting to charge the congressmen who voted to decertify the election or voted for an investigation into it be charged with sedition...

My wife told me about this.

That's right. Now the question is: "Which Democrats were behind the sabotage of the peaceful protest, and who sent Antifa to storm the capitol?" Could it have been George Soros and his cronies among the Demoncrats? Could it have been the same Deep State operatives who were trying to take down Trump for four years?

If my choice is to either kill a small child or else torture and then kill the same child, I would choose the mercy killing.

That is provided that those are the only two choices and there is not a third (such as a justice killing of the one requiring this of you).

If by choosing nothing at all, the default is that the child will be tortured and then killed, then by choosing nothing you have chosen for the child to be tortured before it dies.
