Police brutality is nothing new.

And how does this relate to Sharia Law?... This happened in Alabama, heart of the Christian Bible Belt...

Christians? Those cops weren't acting very Christ like were they?

Police brutality is nothing new...

Also, I doubt if there were too many police men on the force seventy years ago who would have used such brutality on a suspected thief.

In fact I know there weren't.

No you don't. In fact, there were police 70 years ago who would use that brutality on a black man whether he was a thief or not.

No, police brutality isn't new, but that's not the point.

what a hoot. Sharia law? where did you get that from? looks like a case of excessive force. the police probably had their reasons but I'd bet it had nothin to do with applying Sharia law standards. cops have been busting heads for years, the advent of personal video is now allowing more to get caught "in the act."

Police men and women are angrier than ever before. And what are they angry at? Sin. It does not matter to them that they themselves are sinners because they are the authority.

I guess it makes no sense to anyone but me.

No. If they are angry it's not at sin, it's at lawbreakers.
Perhaps you'd never realized police brutality is nothing new...

Law breakers are sinners, flicka. And breaking the law is a sin, flicka.

Speeding = sin?
Jaywalking = sin?
Not stopping at stop sign = sin?

Come on.

Theft, murder, bucking authority, etc. Those things are sin.

But not all law breaking is sin. And some things that are legal are sins, so you can't say cops are angry at sin. Many cops are just plain brutal assholes.

Ecclesiastes:1:9: The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Law breakers are sinners, flicka. And breaking the law is a sin, flicka.

And, since sharia law is cold and hateful it fits into this world just fine. Right alonside communism, but we know that's gonna go because god will always trump man.

You don't think burning women who are accused of being witches, beating gays to death, dragging black men behind vehicles to their death, etc. isn't cold & hateful? Why don't you consider these things signs of Sharia law moving in?

It doesn't make sense.

Yep, there gonna recieve exactly what they deserve. And they're gonna know that they deserve it too.

Romans:1:22: Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools

Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

same old crap, different topic. if christians are so bugged by 'worldly' wisdom. why do they go to the hospital, buy a car or a phone, use computer technology to futher their own goals and to aid in worship.

it's called talking out of both sides of your mouth.

YOU decide what 'wisdom' is suspect and which advanced techonolgies are appropriately employed. thus you are using your own wisdom and thereby going against your own warning.

YOU also decide when to live as if there's a future and when to bang others over the head with the threat of christ's return. ain't it odd how that is almost NEVER referenced as a positive. christians are only charmed by the rapture when they can tell someone else that they aren't going to be very happy when it occurs.

i think it is universally wise to make room for people to be who they are and it coorelates to bible lessons. even those dying in the flood, or nailing jesus to the cross, or feeding christians to lions, were essential to the stories. there is no escaping the reality that, according to the bible, god requires 'sinners' to play out their destiny.

maybe police brutality is part of a modern gospel that no one is bothering to document?

think of it like this. if there weren't people outside of the loop, what would become of christianity? without groups to be better than, there'd be no reason for your particular brand of christian 'insight'.

when i was a kid, preachers used to rant about gambling and divorce and women not knowing their place. now that those sins are common to many members of most congregations, it isn't near as sinful or preached about.

so odd...the persistant uphill trek, that if all of america said, 'we sworn off the sinning, what now?,' parts of 'the church' would be so fixated on damning others that they wouldn't have an answer.

... if you can't see how close we are to His coming.

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

I take it that you don't believe that these are the very last days.

Realistically speaking though, I can say without much hesitation that I am living in my "end times". For as long as I can remember, I've known that my end time could come in the blink of an eye, at any age. That's one reason why I've never understood all the hoopla surrounding the 'end of the world' and the preaching that "YOUR TIME IS RUNNING OUT!!!. Well, duh! Our lifetimes pass by in the twinkling of an eye.

The list could go on but it's pointless to press the issue with someone who doesn't believe.

Japan has been destroyed, and, if you care to look for yourself at all of the unreported earthquakes that are occuring on a daily basis I advise you to do that.

Our waters and our skies are polluted like never before. Radioactive clouds are now drifting across the waters and headed to you there in california, and wherever else they're led to go.

100 years is a short period of time. No sane person could deny that.

What should we do differently tomorrow that we didn't do today?

If anyone believes that things are the same as they've always been, then that one needs to wake up.
