This guy should have to show a positive paternity test before claiming that Austin was his son. I am convinced that if he was in the room during time of conception, he was watching from a chair in the corner.
Him saying that the protesters don't care about his family is laughable. The protesters care more about his family than he does.
9ne of the many things I hate about these people is their weasel language. Their infantilziation of intense claims. They say "problematic" when they mean wrong, and "ugly and hateful" when they mean evil.
Which they do because theyve abandoned moral framework as a concept while trying to leverage the power of one through ambiguity. Obviously it's self serving when "there are many truths" just means "im always right"
EDIT: On second thought, he's just an asshole. I'd actually respect the op more. This dude is trash. This shit goes beyond 'benefit of the doubt' and 'he's grieving.' Fuck this dude. Sorry about your son, he didn't deserve that, but you're a douche, Jeff.
Look, we all distrust the legacy media here, and for damn good reason. It's one thing we can almost all agree on. But journos are very hesitant to directly attribute something to someone if it wasn't actually said. Claiming to have spoken to someone, and that they said something, when they didn't, is a great way to get busted for fake sources...one of the few standards journos still seem to take seriously.
It's possible a mistake occurred in reporting, but I think that's pretty slim.
Direct attributions, as far as I know, are pretty dang solid.
Metcalf said Lang invited him to speak at Saturday’s rally, trying to win him over with statistics about black violence and “white lives matter” rhetoric.
“‘I said, ‘You, sir, are part of the f—ing problem. You are not a part of the solution. I don’t want anything to do with you,'” Metcalf said.
He demanded that Lang remove photos of his son from the Protect White Americans website and event flyers, and he plans to complain to the school board for granting protesters access to the stadium parking lot.
“I want [the superintendent] to explain to me how you let this white piece of trash on school property where my son was murdered less than two weeks ago.”

However I'm always going to endorse the sentiment that we need to be skeptical of information that's being fed to us via social media. The last several years I have seen people become far too complacent about accepting statements at face value if those statements align with their already held beliefs.
Which speaks highly to OPs point that all the "It's the Christian thing to do" comments were nothing but excusing dishonest behavior from people who want to act virtuous and "wanna spew their narrative for their own agenda." Why even bring up your religious commandments to excuse the father if he doesn't even share your faith?
Christianity explicitly forbids idol worship (worshipping false things, like race blindness, pacifism, egalitarianism, trying to be more moral than God, creating new sins), sacrificing one's children to false gods, tells us to forgive our enemies (but not to forgive God's enemies), to seek justice (via the left hand kingdom of God, which are earthly authorities/government), to execute murderers, and tells us to love our neighbors (i.e. our family, community, and people).
If this guy is a Christian, he's a heretic and apostate.
He also demands submission to earthy authority "they do not bear the sword for nothing" demands we "hate what is evil" and to sell cloaks and buy swords.
The Bible lists a positive avalanche of God's enemies, not to mention it's not like he's unaware of who is saved and who is not, there is no "can be saved" as if there was some question. Just because men can't KNOW who is who doesn't make the categories truly ambiguous.
Then, like, right after that, what does he say about living by the sword?
"they do not bear the sword for nothing"
That's Paul for you. I wonder why he, of all people, was trying to establish earthly authority of God? Which is something Jesus definitely didn't strain to talk about a lot.
The Bible lists a positive avalanche of God's enemies
Old Testament or New Testament? Did Jesus die for nothing?
like he's unaware of who is saved and who is not
You ever read the parable of the Lost Sheep? Does it sound like Jesus wants you to feel permanently lost? I can't believe he wants only some souls to go to Heaven.
As tired as all the rest of this is, and trust me, it's tired.
Do you think God fails to get what he wants?
If you do fine, but we don't worship the same God, I'd say that what you worship isn't much of a god at all in that case.
Yes. Do you think God wanted Satan to be evil? If so, why? Do you believe you actually know what God "wants?"
Did God want Eve to eat that apple? If so, why?
Does God want there to be sin in the world? If so, why?
This wasn't nearly as good of a point as you thought it was.
but we don't worship the same God
Oh no. I'm not in your made up club. What of it?
I'd say that what you worship isn't much of a god at all in that case.
Ah, so God wants you to judge my worship, and to denigrate me for it? Yea, you're right, we don't worship the same God then.
Read the story of Job. Carefully. Think that through. "Have I been tricked by an evil angel?" It's more likely that you have than you have not. It reminds me of the villagers in that story, they blamed Job for what had happened to him, and assumed God was punishing him for some unknown reason. Don't you ever think about those people and cry?
What do you actually worship? Earthly power? Or the Holy Spirit?
Yes yes and yes. I've no idea why. I'm not God. I've no idea what God wants as if he could want anything, other than that there are no obstacles to him having it. It's in his name, he doesn't want, or long, or desire. HE IS.
Holy fuck you can't be bringing up job now. The key to job, the entire point. Is He is God. You are Not. Stop trying to pretend he's a guy with super powers. He's God. The world is ordered in perfection to his exact down to the exact position of every nutrino of the galaxy in precise alignment with his eternal decree. Where the fuck were you when he set the storms in their places? He has mercy on who he will, and compasion on who he will have compassion, and judgement on who he will have judgement.
There's only one. Satan. Everyone else can be forgiven.
This is not entirely true. God hates all things that are antithetical to Him. God is truth, and truth is of God, so things which are antithetical to God are antithetical to truth. The Bible says this many times, explicitly and implicitly. While it's true that, Biblically speaking, all falsehoods and lies are of the devil (John 8:44), people can (and do) hold false beliefs and lies too. That's why we live in sin, because we're imperfect. It's the very reason why Christ had to sacrifice Himself for us, so we could be redeemed in our sin, so our sins could be washed away. Some Biblical passages (ESV) which prove it, and shows what God hates:
Proverbs 6:16-19
"There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers."
Isaiah 61:8
"For I the Lord love justice; I hate robbery and wrong; I will faithfully give them their recompense, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them."
Psalm 5:5
"The boastful shall not stand before your eyes; you hate all evildoers."
Proverbs 8:13
"The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate."
Psalm 11:5
"The Lord tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence."
Romans 12:9
"Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good." (abhor is a synonym for hate)
Zechariah 8:17
"do not devise evil in your hearts against one another, and love no false oath, for all these things I hate, declares the Lord."
Proverbs 12:22
"Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight."
Proverbs 13:5
"The righteous hates falsehood, but the wicked brings shame and disgrace."
There's more passages (a lot more), but you get the point.
Protestant nonsense. They saw the problems with the Church, then created their own, then invented this theological turd to justify their failure.
Did you never read Romans 13? It explicitly tells us to abide by earthly authorities (government), with the very important caveat, if those authorities abide in God. 1 Peter 2 says the exact same thing.
Romans 13:1-7
"Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed."
1 Peter 2:13-17
"Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor[c] as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants[d] of God. Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor."
What exactly are you denying here, specifically?
To execute the unredeemed is a failure.
If you really want to make that argument, then you're tacitly suggesting that God is a failure, since everyone that dies without accepting Jesus as their Lord and savior, without repenting, that all of those souls condemned to Hell are a failure on God's part. You can't be more moral than God, so stop trying. Far too many Christians today are trying to invent new sins that we must live by, in a vain attempt to try to be more moral than God, and in so doing, are erecting idols in the place of God, and worshipping at the feet of those idols. Stop doing this. You're sinning, and probably in the worst way possible, by suggesting that you know better than God, while claiming to be Christian.
We are supposed to seek salvation for all, even criminals (the very first Christian man who died was on the cross right next to Jesus), but it's understood that not everyone can be saved, and that it's righteous, condoned, and commanded by God that we enact earthly justice via earthly authorities, lest worse evil proliferate in our presence. The church is provided to bring people to salvation. Government is provided to enact earthly justice. Jesus explicitly talks about the divide and distinction between church and state in Matthew 22:21 when He said
"Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
"If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?"...He also tells you to love your enemies. And to pray for them. Otherwise you might be treading up against the first commandment.
True, but look at the words used. Every single time this subject is brought up in the Bible, we're explicitly told to forgive and love "our" enemies, not God's enemies. These passages aren't meant to make us pacifists and masochists, they're meant to help us make peace with people we should be at peace with, especially among our brothers and neighbors, to prevent minor slights and insults from turning into blood feuds and murder. They're meant to facilitate peace, not to allow our enemies to walk all over us, to enslave and kill us, to let evil proliferate and run rampant in our presence. Those things are explicitly told to be punishments from God, Who often allows such things to happen to people (or peoples) who transgress against God, who don't abide in God or truth (this happened to the Israelites and specific tribes numerous times in scripture, as well as Sodom and Gomorrah and the entire earth during the times of Noah).
You're forgetting a fundamental part of God. Scripture isn't the only work of God, and nor is it the greatest. Scripture doesn't answer every single thing, and tell us how to act in ever single circumstance, otherwise it would be infinitely long. It tells us basic things, and how to act generally, and how we can find salvation and faith. When God points to His divinity and power, He doesn't point to scripture. He points to creation. God did exactly this in Job 38, 39, 40, and 41, when Job blasphemed God. God inlaid truth in all of creation. Every single rule of logic, mathematical formula, scientific equation, they're all from and of God. The more we understand truth, the more we understand God and His will.
This is what many modern Christians fail to understand. They think they need a specific Biblical passage to condone or condemn every single thing, to dictate every single action. Most things in life are a matter of wisdom, that we must learn for ourselves. If we abide in truth, we'll be rewarded, and scripture explicitly says as much. By their fruits, you shall know them. This isn't just about how to judge people, but about ideas, philosophies, actions, and behaviors. By the fruits of such things, we will know the thing. Bad fruits stem from false things. Good fruits stem from true things.
You're using scripture to argue a position that ultimately leads to the death of everyone that follows it. You're trying to claim that scripture would completely neuter every Christian, that we're not allowed to enact earthly justice, that we're not allowed to have our own governments, our own laws, punish criminals, that we must allow our enemies to run roughshod over us, our loved ones, our brothers, our neighbors, everyone and everything we love, to let evil persist in our presence. God would never tell us to do such a thing. To let evil destroy everyone and everything we love is inherently Satanic.
Do not forget that Satan quotes scripture. Satan did exactly that to tempt Jesus in Matthew 4. True things, if taken out of context, can be twisted toward evil. Do not use scripture to advocate for evil. Espouse the totality of truth, or not at all. It's not like most of these things are difficult to grasp, either. No normal man would ever advocate for complete submission to our enemies, to evil, and to let evil overcome and destroy all of us, because it's logically unsound and destructive. The fruits of that path are only bad, which is why it's evil.
that we're not allowed to enact earthly justice, that we're not allowed to have our own governments, our own laws, punish criminals, that we must allow our enemies to run roughshod over us
You're twisting my words. And you know it. You write all of this, to what, drown me in your piety, and then you do this to me?
I told you that the death penalty without salvation of that sinner first is against God, which it clearly is, I didn't tell you punishment of criminals is wrong or shouldn't be done. You've invented this lie to serve yourself.
I told you that pretending your government is ordained by God is against God, which it clearly is, I didn't tell you that having a government to maintain order is wrong or shouldn't be done. You've again invented this lie to serve yourself.
Do not forget that Satan quotes scripture.
He also likes to twist words and is eager to confuse and beguile with needless complexity.
And you know it. You write all of this, to what, drown me in your piety, and then you do this to me?
Do what to you? Advocate the truth? I don't wish to bludgeon you with anything. I only seek truth, and that's what I espouse. The errors I see committed in the modern Christian church, which I highlighted above, are so common that it's led to most Western Christians worshipping idols and becoming apostate. Even if you don't believe in those false teachings, other people here may, and the importance is high enough to enumerate and explain it, in detail.
I told you that the death penalty without salvation of that sinner first is against God, which it clearly is, I didn't tell you punishment of criminals is wrong or shouldn't be done. You've invented this lie to serve yourself.
I extrapolated your position in a way in which you didn't like, because your position is necessarily false. Not everyone can be saved. We should try to save everyone, but we know we can't. Your position necessarily requires you to place blame and failure upon God, which we cannot do. If God is perfect, then God is blameless, thus your position is in error.
Scripture even tells us that not everyone will be saved. Jesus even told us to shake the dust off our feet if a person, a home, or an entire city rejects us and the Gospel, that God will be more harsh on them than He was on Sodom and Gomorrah.
Should we try to save criminals, spiritually (not in the hippy modern use of the term)? Yes. Can we save all of them? No. Even if criminals do accept Jesus as their savior and repent of their sins, we are still obligated to punish them for their crimes.
I told you that pretending your government is ordained by God is against God, which it clearly is, I didn't tell you that having a government to maintain order is wrong or shouldn't be done. You've again invented this lie to serve yourself.
Most modern governments are antithetical to God. In that, I agree. Where did I lie? I explored the issue at hand, not necessarily suggesting you disagreed, but that this subject is important enough to fully explore. You do know that you can say "I agree" with things, without thinking the person saying it is suggesting they believe you disagree.
He also likes to twist words and is eager to confuse and beguile with needless complexity.
True. Why do you think I'm trying to manipulate you, though? What have I said is false? What conclusion have I made that's false?
I don't write things at length to drown people in bullshit, but to fully explore things. Modern social media and instant gratification have wildly manipulated people into thinking that truth is only true if it can fit in a meme. They think complex ideas can be boiled down to a single sentence, or what can fit on a bumper sticker. Do not confuse brevity for wit, or truth, or length for truth, either. Only what is true, is true, regardless of length.
And I agree, these protestors dont give a shit about his family or the other family. This wouldnt even be news if it was white on white, or black on black, it would just be another typical friday evening in shit hole america.
I dont think I could handle a bunch of fake ass people claiming to "care" by making it a race issue.
I also dont trust this tweet at all, dude has never brought up race before but im expected to believe hes bitching about white dudes? Thats a laugh.
The man is trying to keep his life together, and this is why I envy flat earthers and shit. It doesnt matter to them if they are wrong, all that matters is their faith.
I wish I could believe in something like that.
Also, it was prolly the most unchristian thing ever, when jesus forgave those that hung him on the cross.
Correction: we don't give a shit about you. We give a shit about your other son, who deserves a father who would go in to bat for his sons when they are attacked by a murderous sociopath.
If she hasn't divorced him yet and taken full custody of their surviving son (not that it means much at this age), she better right now. It would be a rare case where it'd be fully justified.
they don't give a shit about my family...bout Karmelo Anthony's family
I'm not a protester, but you're damn right I don't give a shit about Karmelo Anthony's family.
They raised that murderous little monster, and any sympathy I might have had for parents who just ended up with a "bad seed" evaporated the second they hooked up with a team of race grifting spokesmen and legal advisors who immediately started screaming "das raciss" to deflect attention from the fact that their son stabbed someone to death at a track meet for no fucking reason at all
Apparently in texas its legal for minors to carry knives up to five inches.
You can guess most of the knives people carry around arent for work, but for "self defense".
Bet money that anthony owned a attack knife like that.
I seen some retard in a youtube video trying to figure out why they even ban some of these knives.
Because the only people using them were criminals sending a message lmao. No ones using a butterfly knife or karambit to open pallets at work.
-edit-
Sure the original karambit was a work knife, but was altered to make it more deadlier to humans.
The karambit was originally an agricultural implement designed to rake roots, gather threshing and plant rice in most of island Southeast Asia. It's a smaller variant of the Southeast Asian sickles (Indonesian celurit, arit, or sabit; Filipino garab and karit; and Malaysian sabit). It still possesses many efficient uses for the modern laborer, allowing use of the blade for utility work, with the finger ring eliminating the need to put the knife down between operations, if use of the fingers to manipulate the object to be worked on is required (such as the action of cutting and opening a shipping box, or removing plastic wrap from shipments, in two very basic examples). The finger ring also provides an added degree of protection against dropping the knife during use, which is particularly essential in work environments that include heavy machinery, into which dropping a handheld, metal tool of any kind can cause massive damage to the equipment and those around it, especially if the tool is ejected at high velocity from rotating components. The karambit is believed to have originally been weaponized among the Minangkabau people of West Sumatra[2] where, according to folklore, it was inspired by the claws of a tiger. As it was weaponised, the blade became more curved to maximise cutting potential.
No ones using a butterfly knife or karambit to open pallets at work.
You've not hung around enough white trash or various other poverty groups if you think they aren't absolutely trying to flex and look cool with their gas station purchase at work.
I don't know about in the nigger community, but a lot of the guys I grew up with would literally jump to have the chance to use their butterfly knife for literally anything.
I'm sure the cops have more data here, but anecdotally I've seen it happen constantly.
Yes, thats typical human behavior, we tend to never forgive, or forget.
It takes a strong person to forgive someone for something as terrible as murdering your son. This dude just wants his sons memory to lay in peace.
Weird seeing you guys all rip him for it.
I honestly wish I could forgive arca and nova scotia for what they did to me, but I just cant. Because in the end im just a pitifully shitty little human.
Imagine being poisoned by a million dollar company.
Million dollar company, million dollar entity (nova soctia workers compensation bureau) and they can just claim that freon has no bad health effects or that you werent having irregular heartbeat.
Your 170/110 resting blood pressure at 60 beats per minute. Thats totally normal and nothing to worry about. Its just anxiety man.
Have some big fancy specialist try to gaslight yo uand tell you that you didnt try to receive medical help for a year "after the fact".
I really do hope nova scotia gets wiped out in a tsunami.
Ive judged this entire fucking country for what this province did to me and im happy as fuck that im not jesus. Id wipe them from existence in the blink of an eye.
I was right. It’s a straight struggle session to show that he’s a true believer of the message. His son was an acceptable sacrifice of his new global religion.
I don’t give a fuck how big of a huckster he is, the fact of the matter is this faggot has a thousand times more vitriol for him than he does for the violent nigger that stabbed his son.
What a fucking faggot loser. I truly wish you had been the one who had his life ended by that dumb nigger. Normally I wouldn't say this but those two sons definitely would have grown up to become better people without a father in their life.
This guy should have to show a positive paternity test before claiming that Austin was his son. I am convinced that if he was in the room during time of conception, he was watching from a chair in the corner.
Him saying that the protesters don't care about his family is laughable. The protesters care more about his family than he does.
Look at that jawline on the kid, doesn't look like his
Kid has a jawline
The surviving son deserves to know the truth about his father!
Y'know they haven't said... that could be their step father...
Austin’s brother better run away from home. There’s a good chance his dad will sacrifice him to prove how not racist he is.
This commercial, but it's a crackhouse and he says "NOW GET OUT OF THE TRUCK AND CALL THEM NIGGERS TO THEIR FACES."
ZOMG 70k times in a year. That’s got to be, what, .000001% of all online activity? SHUT IT ALL DOWN!
9ne of the many things I hate about these people is their weasel language. Their infantilziation of intense claims. They say "problematic" when they mean wrong, and "ugly and hateful" when they mean evil.
Which they do because theyve abandoned moral framework as a concept while trying to leverage the power of one through ambiguity. Obviously it's self serving when "there are many truths" just means "im always right"
Fuck em
"Comments are turned off"
But of course.
Anyway, Hitler was right.
This...this has to be an op.
EDIT: On second thought, he's just an asshole. I'd actually respect the op more. This dude is trash. This shit goes beyond 'benefit of the doubt' and 'he's grieving.' Fuck this dude. Sorry about your son, he didn't deserve that, but you're a douche, Jeff.
You aint wrong. At least with an op, that means good exists and it is simply being obfuscated. This guy is just plain evil.
Something I didn't think about was emphasizing "white piece of trash."
I thought he didn't want to make it a racial thing..................?
Yes, lets trust a random quote in a random tweet without any kind of evidence to prove it.
Sounds good.
Im willing to bet the quote was more like "get this white supremacist guy outtta here" and whoever is quoting him is changing what he said.
Look, we all distrust the legacy media here, and for damn good reason. It's one thing we can almost all agree on.

That's why we live in sin, because we're imperfect. It's the very reason why Christ had to sacrifice Himself for us, so we could be redeemed in our sin, so our sins could be washed away. Some Biblical passages (ESV) which prove it, and shows what God hates:
Proverbs 6:16-19
"There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers."
Isaiah 61:8
"For I the Lord love justice; I hate robbery and wrong; I will faithfully give them their recompense, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them."
Psalm 5:5
"The boastful shall not stand before your eyes; you hate all evildoers."
Proverbs 8:13
"The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate."
Psalm 11:5
"The Lord tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence."
Romans 12:9
"Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good." (abhor is a synonym for hate)
Zechariah 8:17
"do not devise evil in your hearts against one another, and love no false oath, for all these things I hate, declares the Lord."
Proverbs 12:22
"Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight."
Proverbs 13:5
"The righteous hates falsehood, but the wicked brings shame and disgrace."
There's more passages (a lot more), but you get the point.
Did you never read Romans 13? It explicitly tells us to abide by earthly authorities (government), with the very important caveat, if those authorities abide in God. 1 Peter 2 says the exact same thing.
Romans 13:1-7
"Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed."
1 Peter 2:13-17
"Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor[c] as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants[d] of God. Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor."
What exactly are you denying here, specifically?
If you really want to make that argument, then you're tacitly suggesting that God is a failure, since everyone that dies without accepting Jesus as their Lord and savior, without repenting, that all of those souls condemned to Hell are a failure on God's part. You can't be more moral than God, so stop trying. Far too many Christians today are trying to invent new sins that we must live by, in a vain attempt to try to be more moral than God, and in so doing, are erecting idols in the place of God, and worshipping at the feet of those idols. Stop doing this. You're sinning, and probably in the worst way possible, by suggesting that you know better than God, while claiming to be Christian.
We are supposed to seek salvation for all, even criminals (the very first Christian man who died was on the cross right next to Jesus), but it's understood that not everyone can be saved, and that it's righteous, condoned, and commanded by God that we enact earthly justice via earthly authorities, lest worse evil proliferate in our presence. The church is provided to bring people to salvation. Government is provided to enact earthly justice. Jesus explicitly talks about the divide and distinction between church and state in Matthew 22:21 when He said "Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
True, but look at the words used. Every single time this subject is brought up in the Bible, we're explicitly told to forgive and love "our" enemies, not God's enemies. These passages aren't meant to make us pacifists and masochists, they're meant to help us make peace with people we should be at peace with, especially among our brothers and neighbors, to prevent minor slights and insults from turning into blood feuds and murder. They're meant to facilitate peace, not to allow our enemies to walk all over us, to enslave and kill us, to let evil proliferate and run rampant in our presence. Those things are explicitly told to be punishments from God, Who often allows such things to happen to people (or peoples) who transgress against God, who don't abide in God or truth (this happened to the Israelites and specific tribes numerous times in scripture, as well as Sodom and Gomorrah and the entire earth during the times of Noah).
You're forgetting a fundamental part of God. Scripture isn't the only work of God, and nor is it the greatest. Scripture doesn't answer every single thing, and tell us how to act in ever single circumstance, otherwise it would be infinitely long. It tells us basic things, and how to act generally, and how we can find salvation and faith. When God points to His divinity and power, He doesn't point to scripture. He points to creation. God did exactly this in Job 38, 39, 40, and 41, when Job blasphemed God. God inlaid truth in all of creation. Every single rule of logic, mathematical formula, scientific equation, they're all from and of God. The more we understand truth, the more we understand God and His will.
This is what many modern Christians fail to understand. They think they need a specific Biblical passage to condone or condemn every single thing, to dictate every single action. Most things in life are a matter of wisdom, that we must learn for ourselves. If we abide in truth, we'll be rewarded, and scripture explicitly says as much. By their fruits, you shall know them. This isn't just about how to judge people, but about ideas, philosophies, actions, and behaviors. By the fruits of such things, we will know the thing. Bad fruits stem from false things. Good fruits stem from true things.
You're using scripture to argue a position that ultimately leads to the death of everyone that follows it. You're trying to claim that scripture would completely neuter every Christian, that we're not allowed to enact earthly justice, that we're not allowed to have our own governments, our own laws, punish criminals, that we must allow our enemies to run roughshod over us, our loved ones, our brothers, our neighbors, everyone and everything we love, to let evil persist in our presence. God would never tell us to do such a thing. To let evil destroy everyone and everything we love is inherently Satanic.
Do not forget that Satan quotes scripture. Satan did exactly that to tempt Jesus in Matthew 4. True things, if taken out of context, can be twisted toward evil. Do not use scripture to advocate for evil. Espouse the totality of truth, or not at all. It's not like most of these things are difficult to grasp, either. No normal man would ever advocate for complete submission to our enemies, to evil, and to let evil overcome and destroy all of us, because it's logically unsound and destructive. The fruits of that path are only bad, which is why it's evil.
You're twisting my words. And you know it. You write all of this, to what, drown me in your piety, and then you do this to me?
I told you that the death penalty without salvation of that sinner first is against God, which it clearly is, I didn't tell you punishment of criminals is wrong or shouldn't be done. You've invented this lie to serve yourself.
I told you that pretending your government is ordained by God is against God, which it clearly is, I didn't tell you that having a government to maintain order is wrong or shouldn't be done. You've again invented this lie to serve yourself.
He also likes to twist words and is eager to confuse and beguile with needless complexity.
If I am, I apologize.
Do what to you? Advocate the truth? I don't wish to bludgeon you with anything. I only seek truth, and that's what I espouse. The errors I see committed in the modern Christian church, which I highlighted above, are so common that it's led to most Western Christians worshipping idols and becoming apostate. Even if you don't believe in those false teachings, other people here may, and the importance is high enough to enumerate and explain it, in detail.
I extrapolated your position in a way in which you didn't like, because your position is necessarily false. Not everyone can be saved. We should try to save everyone, but we know we can't. Your position necessarily requires you to place blame and failure upon God, which we cannot do. If God is perfect, then God is blameless, thus your position is in error.
Scripture even tells us that not everyone will be saved. Jesus even told us to shake the dust off our feet if a person, a home, or an entire city rejects us and the Gospel, that God will be more harsh on them than He was on Sodom and Gomorrah.
Should we try to save criminals, spiritually (not in the hippy modern use of the term)? Yes. Can we save all of them? No. Even if criminals do accept Jesus as their savior and repent of their sins, we are still obligated to punish them for their crimes.
Most modern governments are antithetical to God. In that, I agree. Where did I lie? I explored the issue at hand, not necessarily suggesting you disagreed, but that this subject is important enough to fully explore. You do know that you can say "I agree" with things, without thinking the person saying it is suggesting they believe you disagree.
True. Why do you think I'm trying to manipulate you, though? What have I said is false? What conclusion have I made that's false?
I don't write things at length to drown people in bullshit, but to fully explore things. Modern social media and instant gratification have wildly manipulated people into thinking that truth is only true if it can fit in a meme. They think complex ideas can be boiled down to a single sentence, or what can fit on a bumper sticker. Do not confuse brevity for wit, or truth, or length for truth, either. Only what is true, is true, regardless of length.

Wears a shirt that says "faith over fear".
Legit says this is a test of his faith to god.
And I agree, these protestors dont give a shit about his family or the other family. This wouldnt even be news if it was white on white, or black on black, it would just be another typical friday evening in shit hole america.
I dont think I could handle a bunch of fake ass people claiming to "care" by making it a race issue.
I also dont trust this tweet at all, dude has never brought up race before but im expected to believe hes bitching about white dudes? Thats a laugh.
The man is trying to keep his life together, and this is why I envy flat earthers and shit. It doesnt matter to them if they are wrong, all that matters is their faith.
I wish I could believe in something like that.
Also, it was prolly the most unchristian thing ever, when jesus forgave those that hung him on the cross.
You’re correct. I will recant my judgement of his faith until I hear this out of his mouth.
It's not just the tweet it's quotes from the article I posted.
Correction: we don't give a shit about you. We give a shit about your other son, who deserves a father who would go in to bat for his sons when they are attacked by a murderous sociopath.
He's secretly happy Austin's dead. Now he doesn't need to pay for his college "education." It's not like he was ever his real son anyway...
“Ethnic food.”
I have yet to see the bro and mom with the dad at the same time.
Divorce?
If she hasn't divorced him yet and taken full custody of their surviving son (not that it means much at this age), she better right now. It would be a rare case where it'd be fully justified.
I'm not a protester, but you're damn right I don't give a shit about Karmelo Anthony's family.
They raised that murderous little monster, and any sympathy I might have had for parents who just ended up with a "bad seed" evaporated the second they hooked up with a team of race grifting spokesmen and legal advisors who immediately started screaming "das raciss" to deflect attention from the fact that their son stabbed someone to death at a track meet for no fucking reason at all
Karmelo Anthony is a minor and I will bet money it comes out that he's been arrested for other crimes before.
I still want to see the type of knife used.
Apparently in texas its legal for minors to carry knives up to five inches.
You can guess most of the knives people carry around arent for work, but for "self defense".
Bet money that anthony owned a attack knife like that.
I seen some retard in a youtube video trying to figure out why they even ban some of these knives.
Because the only people using them were criminals sending a message lmao. No ones using a butterfly knife or karambit to open pallets at work.
-edit-
Sure the original karambit was a work knife, but was altered to make it more deadlier to humans.
You've not hung around enough white trash or various other poverty groups if you think they aren't absolutely trying to flex and look cool with their gas station purchase at work.
I don't know about in the nigger community, but a lot of the guys I grew up with would literally jump to have the chance to use their butterfly knife for literally anything.
I'm sure the cops have more data here, but anecdotally I've seen it happen constantly.
Yes, thats typical human behavior, we tend to never forgive, or forget.
It takes a strong person to forgive someone for something as terrible as murdering your son. This dude just wants his sons memory to lay in peace.
Weird seeing you guys all rip him for it.
I honestly wish I could forgive arca and nova scotia for what they did to me, but I just cant. Because in the end im just a pitifully shitty little human.
Imagine being poisoned by a million dollar company.
https://rocketreach.co/arca-canada-profile_b47baf91fc3316fd
and having the province tell you it wasnt possible and deny you medical help and just feed you blood pressure medication for 9 months lmao
May these people burn in the utter pits of hell.
Million dollar company, million dollar entity (nova soctia workers compensation bureau) and they can just claim that freon has no bad health effects or that you werent having irregular heartbeat.
Your 170/110 resting blood pressure at 60 beats per minute. Thats totally normal and nothing to worry about. Its just anxiety man.
Have some big fancy specialist try to gaslight yo uand tell you that you didnt try to receive medical help for a year "after the fact".
I really do hope nova scotia gets wiped out in a tsunami.
Ive judged this entire fucking country for what this province did to me and im happy as fuck that im not jesus. Id wipe them from existence in the blink of an eye.
I forgive him for being a disingenuous retard
I was right. It’s a straight struggle session to show that he’s a true believer of the message. His son was an acceptable sacrifice of his new global religion.
Has the mother said anything about this? Why are we only ever hearing from the piece of shit father?
The mother and brother have both condemned the killer iirc.
I am starting to think that these kids are not his and the father knew or always suspected but was too much of a bitch to find out.
The mother and brother gave a separate interview and implied they were not on board with whatever the father's performance is.
None of this feels real. I am sure this is all a psyop, I am sure in a year we will see this faggot kid actor appear in another blackrock commercial.
the white part is eyebrow raising to say the least, but Jake Lang does sort of come off like a clout-chaser.
wish he had the stones to stand up to the huckster on the other side doing the exact same thing, though.
I don’t give a fuck how big of a huckster he is, the fact of the matter is this faggot has a thousand times more vitriol for him than he does for the violent nigger that stabbed his son.
I agree his behavior is hypocritical to put it mildly, and deeply alarming as well.
Boomers were a mistake.
He's not a boomer
The apoptosis of the zog bot.
Also we're gonna need a paternity test.
What a fucking faggot loser. I truly wish you had been the one who had his life ended by that dumb nigger. Normally I wouldn't say this but those two sons definitely would have grown up to become better people without a father in their life.
The ultimate race cuck.
