    I was attempting to be kind. Sick is a better word. The vileness of this thread is indeed sickening.

    I was going to report the OP and also respond with a big, "WE DON'T JUDGE PEOPLE'S SALVATION ON BB", like I usually do, but given the frequency of threads like this, apparently it is tolerated. So, I gave a lame sarcastic remark instead.

    It is certainly possible that the Floyd's were pressured into having Sharpton speak.

    It's been more than a week. It's really been building since coronavirus came onto the scene. Now we have an election cycle coming up and I'm certain it's going to get far worse. I'm starting to question why I participate here.

    Better specify what Bible translation you want as well. Just to cover all the bases...

    No person is in any position the judge anyone else's salvation. Period. God is the decider and at the appropriate time He will have his say.

    Doesn't make idle gossip right. And that's pretty much what the speculation on his salvation is.

    There is something greater than Meth that kills everyone of us... We ALL die with SIN in our veins!... If we didn't, why did we die?... Floyd's salvation I leave that in God's hands and that is the same place I leave mine... Brother Glen:)

    So were those "baptists" who always showed up to scream and cuss out those attending funerals for gays and lesbians! They give Baptist a bad name! Eveb worse, gave the Lord Jesus a bad name!

    Build with wood hay stubble and you earn the loss of rewards in the kingdom. The more we understand scripture the more we can obey in the way Christ wants us to.

    Educate me on Baptist theology on Christ’s power over death in the life of believers. From what I understand Satan puts unbelievers to death while Christ puts believers to sleep.

    You are acting like you’ve got ptsd from white guilt. If the thief Floyd, was white it wouldn’t change my observation.

    George was a vile man who stole from a pregnant woman at gun point. Then there’s the fentanyl and crystal meth in his blood. Satan double crossed George and used another unbeliever to commit the murder resulting in worldwide chaos. That’s my observation. Why not use a fake epidemic and now a hate campaign against what is a good thing - the police, in the attempt to remove the most power man in the gentile world from promoting Israel. :plain:

    I can appreciate that. It’s why I like the Baptists. I do not know if George was saved. I hope he was. I can judge by the actions of the family that they have a serious problem doctrinally. So does President Trump. I don’t know if he’s saved either and the prosperity teaching female preacher is a terrible sign. When people take God’s name in vain I am elected to speak out, I am a believer. God is not in Al Sharpton’s preaching. God is not in the media’s covering of the Christianity of George Floyd.

    I heard Tupac on video the other day, black societies are home to the scourges of American society. He said blacks need the police more than anyone else, that the killer is right next door to him, to them.

    This is not about racism, no one on the forum hates blacks. It is about an honest conversation to deal with the Frankenstein monster that is the black inner city ghetto. We can’t have a discussion about race relations without dealing with the facts.

    To call it idle gossip is to take the path of least resistance which is human nature and that path is being followed by well meaning young white people. Then of course the people of absolute godlessness, antifa is mixed in too.

    That was the one and only time the Jews attempted to convict Jesus within the law of Moses. Every other occasion it wasn’t the law of Moses but the traditions of the elders. If Jesus forgave the woman he would have broken the law of Moses. Go back and learn.

    Stoning required two - three witnesses. It requires that the person who reported the crime not be guilty of the same sin, in this case adultery. It requires that the first stone be thrown by the ones bringing the accusation. Thus the men who brought up the case probably slept with her before themselves. They disqualified their case based on the demands of the law of Moses, this one time attempt failed miserably.

    Yes, we throw the stone if it’s required. Al Sharpton should be in prison.

    I dont think the family was pressured - I'm sure they were pleased about having Sharpton.
