I saw this sign out in my neighborhood today when I went for a walk that read; "Hate is not welcome here" and then had a black heart with "Black Lives Matter" written in the middle of it. I'm not sure what kind of news that they've been reading or watching,.. but there seems to be nothing but hate in this terrorist organization so I'm really confused. o_O

They have no idea that they are the embodiment of hate or they do and assume not hating means everyone agrees with them

It is not surprising that hate is a feature of the movement, seeing that the three founders consult the spirits of dead victims of police shootings to give them the strength to keep the movement going. What they don't realise that these spirits are not of the dead victims at all, but are demon spirits masquerading as the spirits of the dead victims. The devil and his demons seek to steal, kill and destroy, and we see a lot of that happening with the BLM movement. The devil is a liar, and this is why much of what it spouts are nothing but lies and deception. This movement represents not the African American members of society, but the plans and purposes of the devil and his demons. Those honest African Americans caught up in the movement don't know what the true nature of the movement is and that they have been brainwashed by lying demons to make them believe that the police and other civil authorities discriminate against them. The truth is that most victims who were shot by the police either had weapons, or through their behaviour put police officers at risk; and if innocent people are killed or wounded, we can be sure that the situation was set up by someone not following police instructions, or living in a house where there were drugs and illegal weapons.

So,.. umm,.. they're really that stupid then?
No. They are not stupid at all. The god of this world has blinded the minds of those who believe not the gospel of Christ, so they don't see what the gospel is all about. They are deceived by very intelligent and crafty demons because they don't recognise the lies that are being told to them. Even the founders think that the spirits guiding them are wanting to reverse the perceived discrimination, but in fact the spirits are lying to them about their true nature and feeds them with misinformation about the truth of what is actually happening. Therefore, the founders are very intelligent and resourceful people, but are controlled by demons, perhaps even possessed by them; and if this is so, then the whole movement is controlled by demons whose purpose is to disrupt society and distract people from hearing the gospel of Christ.

well i dont think black people are targeted.
White supremacists are just as deceived. There is just a different set of demons controlling them.

In actual fact, there are no black or white people. We are all just different shades of brown. Some are darker brown than others. The differences between Caucasian and African Americans are cultural, not racial, because we are all of one race - the human race. All world cultural groups stem from the three sons of Noah and their wives, and the amount of melanin in people's skins is adaptation to different climatic environments. The reason why many societies have inhabitants with different shades of brown is due to migration.

If a mixed colour society remains in the same environment for long enough (say in Equatorial Africa) you will find in several generations, the population will all be of a similar colour as each successive generation's melanin adapts to the climatic environment. You will find that Caucasians will end up with the same amount of melanin in their skins as the Africans. In New Zealand the indigenous people are a darker shade of brown than those originating from Western Europe, but given seven generations later, everyone will develop the same shade of brown because of the particular New Zealand Southern Pacific climate.

I guess it boils down to if one believes that white privilege is a thing... Not all people who are stating that black lives matter are part of "the" movement. Black lives do matter... ALL lives matter. To deny that black people have been unfairly judged and treated in the past as well as currently is denying reality. This issue is NOT new... Here in Canada... our BLACKS are the Aboriginal people... ( not sure of the politically correct way to address perhaps indigenous is more accurate). Abuse is abuse... and it crosses many borders... Perhaps the sign you saw was simply a statement of support for this reality... rather than an inclusion of the group you speak of.

Self hating lefties feel unwelcome in their own skin, so can you expect them to welcome others?

I guess I have never really tried to determine what hate is... rather to know what and who love is and abide in Him:

"Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another." I John 4:7-11

The answer is to present the true gospel of Christ, because when people are born again of the Spirit of God, they are given new hearts and spirits, and for them abuse of people whom people of the world consider inferior is part of the world's attitudes is treated like a work of the flesh which those who live in the Spirit forsake if they are to walk in the Spirit. Those who walk in the Spirit do not discriminate between people of different cultures because they know that there are only two categories of people - those who are saved in Christ, and those who are lost. The commission of the Lord is to seek and save those who are lost. This is what people are baptised with the Holy Spirit for.

If there are professing Christians who are still abiding by either "white" or "black" privilege, discriminating against and abusing those who have a different culture to themselves, then they are hypocrites who have just the outward form of godliness, but their hearts are unchanged and they, in spite of their "Christian" badge, are still lost in their sins and on the broad road to hell.

So, we as Christians are not commissioned by the Lord to get involved in trying to sort out the racial issues among people of the world. We are not of this world. We have a different mission - to bring the gospel of Christ to the lost. Getting involved in the politics of racial issues is a distraction and makes a person a friend of the world, thereby not a friend of God.

They are merely lost sinners on the road to hell. Our commission is to declare the gospel of Christ to them so they can embrace Christ and born again of the Spirit of God. Then the converted person is no longer left or right, but is a child of God with a totally different world view and mission in life.

Jesus said that the person who hates is a murderer and will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Did he? Apostle Paul wrote this:

"Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." Gal 5:21

And Jesus said this:

"If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:26

And also this:

"Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you" Matt 5:43-44

Lots to consider!

Lots to consider!
"You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell fire" (MATTHEW 5:21-22).

It wasn't Paul, but John:

"Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him" (1 John 3:15).

My view is that anyone, including those who have the "Christian" badge, who subscribes or supports the BLM movement, is subscribing to a movement based on hate and therefore does not have eternal life abiding in him or her.

And no now that I think of it they're probably saying that hate against them isn't welcome there. :D :D (Since they're clearly BLM supporters.)

I guess that hating the police, business owners and innocent members of the public through the looting and violence done by their members is not part of their equation of hate. Most intelligent people would call that gross hypocrisy.

Without this view I would have given you a like.
