So the Palestinians are dancing and celebrating in the streets and giving away candy to passersby over the mass murder of five individuals in Jerusalem, two of which are Americans. With meat cleavers swinging, knives slashing, and guns blazing, two men murdered all of those innocent people in a bloodbath while they were praying.
Last week Palestinians drove a car into a crowd on a sidewalk killing a 3-month-old Israeli-American baby and an Ecuadorean woman in her 20s. To celebrate they wrote a song about it which is now very popular and being played over and again flooding the airwaves and glorifying this cowardly, despicable, and nonsensical, act.
Does hatred of this magnitude come natural or is it learned?
Hmmm . . .
I received a letter from an inmate who wrote that he was in his mid-fifties and had been in and out of prison all of his life. He went on to tell me that he knows right from wrong and wants to do what is right, but his dark side always seems to win out and he ends up right back in prison.
I think these radical Muslim jihadists are different than this inmate. They are “taught” to hate from a very young age. They are told by their religious leaders that if they die in battle with their enemies, (basically anyone who is not a Muslim) they will get to go to heaven and are awarded nearly 100 virgins upon their arrival. Unlike the inmate they have been brainwashed to think that what is right is wrong and what is wrong is right.
Many of my friends have told me that I’m paranoid for carrying a concealed handgun practically everywhere I go. Yeah right – Every day now someone is attacked and butchered. Last night there was a shooting right down the road at Florida State University and three people were wounded while trying to study on the second floor of the library. Had I been in there, one can rest assured I would be slinging lead right back at that punk and I’m not trying to boast about it, but I am an excellent marksman and would have drilled that guy with any kind of decent shot. Some of those liberal professors down there might drop their ideological anti-gun protests and appreciate someone having a gun to protect them if their weasel hides were on the line.
We are living in a dangerous time when the law of the jungle is becoming the norm. In our zeal to be inclusive and accommodating to every nut on the face of the planet including jihadists and Mexican cartel members, we now have to strap on a gun and be sure to watch our backs just to protect ourselves and our family from them.
I pray God returns before the law of the jungle completely overtakes America. If you want to see what it is like, go visit any prison. Those in for murder and violent crimes rank the highest, followed by armed robbers, and then drug heads, white collar crime guys, and on down to the meek. Those peace loving souls at the bottom rung get the worst of it. They learn very quickly that they either have to fight or they will soon find themselves wearing pink hot pants and bringing someone their coffee.
As Christians we prefer peace, joy, and love, but like those poor meek souls in prison quickly find out, those luxuries come at a heavy price. We have to fight for what is right against powerful enemies or become enslaved. So we can sit on the couch and hope it ain’t so, or we can stand up against the forces of evil. We can vote; we can speak up for what is right and speak out against what is wrong, and we can defend ourselves.
So you want an example? How about abortion? It seems that those who want to discuss the rights of the mother to “choose” to destroy the life of a baby drown out those few who speak up for the baby’s right to live.
Does this desire to destroy life come natural or is it learned? I think evil comes from satan and according to the Bible he uses convincing arguments to follow deceiving spirits and advance his agenda of terror. (BTW – He is very good at it.)
1 Tim. 4:1
The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.
