If you believe in and follow an unholy God, you do not have to be concerned about being holy in your conduct.
“I sin daily in thought, word, and deed?” …Hmm… you might want to re-examine that because the God of the Holy Bible commands that His people be holy
Romans 6:19-22
“I put this in human terms because you are weak in your natural selves. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to ever increasing wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness. When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death! But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.”
- In the Old Testament, things were sanctified. • The Tabernacle was sanctified (Exodus 40:9). “Take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and everything in it; consecrate it and all its furnishings, and it will be holy.”
- The mountains were sanctified (Exodus 19:23). “Moses said to the LORD, ‘The people cannot come up Mount Sinai, because you yourself warned us, “Put limits around the mountain and set it apart as holy.”’”
- The nation of Israel was sanctified (Exodus 19:10-11). “And the LORD said to Moses, ‘Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. Have them wash their clothes and be ready by the third day, because on that day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.’”
- First born children were sanctified (Exodus 13:2). “Consecrate to me every firstborn male. The first offspring of every womb among the Israelites belongs to me, whether man or animal.”
- In the New Testament people were sanctified (Acts 2:1-4). 16
“When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.”
“If Jesus Christ is not Lord of all, He will not be Lord at all.” —R. S. Nicholson
Romans 12:1-2: “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

The words of the movement “Black Lives Matter” is reminiscent to the rhetoric of 1930s Germany where only “Aryan Lives” mattered. Let’s be clear: This rhetorical comparison is not correlated to the actions of the two movements. Both quotes imply that other lives don’t matter. In Pre-WWII Germany the bigoted rhetoric against those who were not Aryan including, but not limited to, Jews and the disabled, created a divide that led to genocide. Though America is not on that course, the hateful rhetoric accompanying “Black Lives Matter” underscores Benjamin Franklin’s prophetic message: United we stand, divided we fall. This hateful rhetoric exemplifies the latter. Lives Matter. History has not always been kind to Blacks and other minorities. Jews suffered through exiles, pogroms, and the Holocaust (included the discriminatory Nuremberg Laws). Blacks suffered through slavery, lynching, and Democratic Jim Crow laws, which promoted segregation. What’s thematic is differentiating between who’s human and who’s not. That theme is nothing but barbaric. I’m alive today because those in my family, especially my grandmother, survived Hitler’s slaughter-fest. My grandmother was in an orphanage when German soldiers approached and were about to take her into custody. However, due to logistical reasons they were unable to do so. The orphanage took action and a Christian family hid her on their farm in France. That Christian family believed this Jewish life mattered. There were people like this family known as Righteous Gentiles. They believed that innocent lives matter regardless of their background. – See more at: http://americanactionnews.com/articles/the-hateful-message-of-black-lives-matter#sthash.vKrq1Mbh.dpuf
It is time to confront this bigoted, sadistic, and uncivilized movement that conservative radio talk show host Mark Levin labels, “a civil wrongs group… the old Black Panther movement.” History’s themes, such as bigotry, repeat themselves for better or worse.

Then there is 1st Corinthians Chapter 6: “1Co 6:1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
1Co 6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
1Co 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
1Co 6:4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
1Co 6:5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
1Co 6:6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
1Co 6:7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
1Co 6:8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
1Co 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. ”

Stamp out individual thought? That sounds like every socialist dictator that ever wanted to take over the world. By the way, that always turns out bad, Tommy.
I don’t know who Thomas is or whether he is the actual author or someone who is angry with him posted that and attached his name. This showed up on Facebook and elsewhere. I went to his page where I found nothing of this nature. Thomas is definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer as evidenced by his page. However whoever wrote the piece attributed to Thomas is a racist bigot but that is something the democrats have long been known for.
Last I knew it is Americans who have constitutional rights, not a particular color. Without the 2nd you don’t have any of the other constitutional rights, anyway. The racist propaganda, especially that which comes from BHO and his fellow narcissistic propagandists, seeks to divide Americans and stifle rational thought.
Thomas, or whoever wrote the statement attributed to him, is part of the growing evidence that we are in a post-thinking era. In part, we can blame PC and the “intelligentsia.” We live in an age where we find scientists trying to create artificial intelligence while most of our educational institutions are creating artificial stupidity.
T. S. Ellott: “Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don’t mean to do harm-but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.”
The narcissistic personality disorder, race-baiting, divider-in-chief is symptomatic of the problem. We seem to have gotten so intimidated by political correctness that even our major media outlets, yes I am giving them the benefit of the doubt, dare not call people who illegally immigrate to this country “illegal immigrants: or even responsibly report on the fact that they are a financial drain on our system. Then there is the problem of fundamentalist Muslims, perhaps we should call them Mohammedans because that is who they are imitating, who, when they commit acts of terror, we are told not to call terrorists. Heaven forbid, that we should mention the unholy sacrament of the left …abortion… so I won’t.
Thomas, or whoever you are, the answer is – God.
It is time to stand up for the cause of The Christ and do our part in bringing about a brand new Great Awakening like the one that took place in the 1740s. We are way overdue for one and if we don’t have one it is going to get really, really bad. Therefore, 2nd Chronicles 7:14

Dissing: Disrespecting, insulting.
To be honest, I’m glad he’s not going. He’s not worthy to be attending Justice Scalia’s funeral, who was a man of high moral fiber. This POTUS is so arrogant, narcissistic, and disrespectful that his presence would be fake anyway. I can see him now, putting on his liar face and pretending like he cares. No thanks. Good riddance, go play golf!
