@Jesus_is_LORD
Greetings,
one of my first thoughts was, "it serves him right". {that is, without watching the video}
Trying to think if we have a similar example of Christian 'Street preachers' in the Bible, and then, them going to a rally that they know full well is worldly and carnal.
Bit like going to a pagan feast and expecting a welcoming ear or two.
One might see the act of the chap in the videos as being a trouble maker?
What are your thoughts, Brother?
Bless you ....><>
Great point you bring up.
The Bible tells us that a soft answer turns away wrath.
The gentleman who was arrested was not speaking softly
and seemed to have anger in his voice. He also seemed to
want to provoke the officer. So from a Christian perspective
he was not being gentle and following a Christ like example,
On the other hand, from a legal perspective he was
within his 1 amendment rights to share his speech.
He was exercising protected speech, regardless of if
it hurt the police officer's feelings.
So he is protected by the law for redress of grievances for having
his rights violated, but as a Christian his conduct was unbecoming
and we do reap what we sow.
Jesus says blessed are you when you are persecuted for my name sake.
The name of Jesus I guess is more than words but our conduct as well.
So if his conduct was not clothed in Jesus, this man may not be
getting a blessing because he wasn't doing it in Jesus name (clothed in Christ spirit of humility).
Good point you bring up.
