Former President Trump Shot

Fair?
There's nothing fair or good about "fair distribution of wealth." Nothing. You can NOT build others "less than" by taking away/forcing others who have "more than".
This is how God intended it to be.

Acts 4:34, "Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,"

Indeed highlights a remarkable expression of communal living and sacrificial giving among the early Christians. The passage describes how the believers, moved by their newfound faith and the teachings of Jesus, sold their possessions and properties and brought the proceeds to the apostles. The money was then evenly distributed to ensure that no one among them lacked anything. This practice of selling possessions and distributing the proceeds reflects the early church's deep sense of unity and commitment to caring for one another's needs. It goes beyond mere generosity; it is a radical embodiment of the principles of love, equality, and mutual support. The early Christians were willing to let go of their personal wealth to ensure that everyone in the community had what they needed.

Acts 4:35, "And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need,"

Exemplifies the early church's practice of communal living and mutual support among believers. This verse highlights the profound sense of unity and selflessness that characterized the early Christian community. Believers sold their possessions and brought the proceeds to the apostles, who then distributed the resources to ensure that no member of the community was in need. This practice reflects the core Christian principles of love, generosity, and care for one another, which are central to Biblical teachings. The church emphasizes that true Christian living involves not only personal holiness and devotion to God but also active concern for the welfare of fellow believers. This passage serves as a model for modern believers to prioritize the needs of others, fostering a spirit of sacrificial giving and communal responsibility, embodying the love and compassion that Jesus Christ taught and demonstrated.
 
BBC has way better footage than US news. I think you're looking at the wrong roof. Shooter was not inside of the event but outside of the event. Take a look here: Videos show how gunman shot at Trump despite public alerting police
That video I posted was showing the “Secret Service snipers “on another roof scoping out the gun man before he shot.

The Secret Service dropped the ball on this because they were notified before hand by the police on the radio that there was a gun man in the area well BEFORE the gunman had even climbed up on the roof.

Trump should have been removed from the stage by the Secret Service when they got the first report of a gunman in the area.

This error was either because of their incompetence, or it was intentional. This is what needs to be investigated.

1. Intended is not reality. Until He comes back and makes things right by Him then this DEI and other similar mess is not fair or good.
2. America isn't a Christian country. Christian Nationalism is the modern version (somewhat) of what could be but be realistic. In order for it to happen those Christian would have to be isolated from the world. I wonder if there is a group like that.
The Amish. I've been to one of their communities but that is another topic.
3. The Founding Fathers were very intelligent. They knew what a Democracy was and created this country to NOT be one.
4. You can cherry pick all you want but any topic, issue, etc. must be taken in context with all preceding and following relevant verses.
Acts 4 - Peter and John face the Sanhedrin
32 - Their attitude towards each other and towards material possessions - The sharing heart of the early church. I hope you'll agree. Without God, very few people would share and be as the Lord wants us.
"Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common."

(33) The effective witness of the apostles.
"And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all."

34-37 - Examples of early giving. Examples not the ONLY ways for those that can't understand.
"Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need. And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus, having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet."

a. We are a minority in Satan's Earthly world. Things all around, mostly, were great in America from the 50's to at least the early 2000's.
b. God intended for many things to happen yet here we are. Things haven't been as "intended" since the fall. At this point, Christians are at a serious disadvantage and the fact SO many people have still NOT abandoned the Left after the attempted Trump assassination is a bad thing.

For some reason the Bold will not turn off.

 
In the news….
The local Pennsylvania sheriff defended the armed officer who encountered former President Donald Trump’s would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks on the rooftop moments before the shooting — claiming it was the right call to retreat after the gunman pointed the weapon at him.

Butler County Sheriff Michael Slupe confirmed Monday that a local officer made contact with Crooks after being hoisted up to the roof by another officer — but fled when the sniper pointed his AR-style assault rifle at the officer.

“I would have done the same thing, absolutely,” the sheriff said.(End quote)

I thought when someone points a gun at any police officer they would get shot immediately. Not so in this case.
My son made me aware of a Supreme Court ruling that law enforcement did not have stay in a situation whereby they might get shot. They were allowed to leave. I'll have to ask my son if he knows the specific ruling, because I have not been able to find it. I'm thinking it might have something to do with the shooting in a school down in Texas whereby Law Enforcement did not aggressively look to resolve the situation but allowed it to playout.
 
Later, he was allegedly seen jumping “roof to roof” before arriving at the AGR facility.
Sometimes you have to take what the media reports with a grain of salt.
The buildings were too far apart to jump roof to roof, and the building whereby he did the shooting had no other buildings close to it.
 
We need to stop with the Left & Right, Liberal & Conservative as Christians!
Oh, we can look at the platforms in general of what it means to be a Liberal/Left, or Conservative/Right but as a Christian you will find instances that if placed against Scripture, it does not align with one or the other 100% of the time.

Unless you believe when we are Gloryland bound that we'll be segregated by liberals on the left, and conservatives on the right, or that one group or the other won't be making it there because of their political beliefs. I guess you'd extrapolate Ecclesiastes 10:2 to mean exactly that. "A wise man's heart [is] at his right hand, But a fool's heart at his left."

Each person has reasoning on why they believe politically in those categories given by society as identifying markers. As a Christian, we should align ourselves with what Scripture says. If in certain instances, it has us "left/middle/right" on certain topics so be it. If in doubt, then keep praying, and praying some more! \o/

its not like the movies, you climbing up a ladder and see someone on a roof pointing a gun at you, you're dead. better to back down the ladder. its going to take the shooter some time to aim at someone 400 feet away.

could have entered the building and shot him through the roof.

i would grant near 95% odds the police and SS didn't have a direct line of communication.

If that is the case then they should not be put on a detail where they have to protect a President or ex President.

There was a smaller building, or a lower level leading up to the larger level of the building, it can be seen in the videos when the shooter is getting up on the roof.

I have watched hundreds of police deadly shooting videos. In almost every case police shoot immediately when a gun is pointed in their direction.

And they did have communication about the suspect/shooter as much as 30 minutes in advance.

Trump should have been removed from the stage when the first report of a gunman was issued by police.

police officers are not "required" to do anything. the secret service is different, but i would bet they aren't legally required to protect the president either, its just that if they don't they going to get fired, not promoted.

turns out it gets much worse.


anyhow, i think you need to try and visualize what happens when you've got two hands, climbing a ladder, and you pop up and see the shooter aming a gun at you. you don't have time to draw your firearm, you're dead meat.

I have climbed ladders multiple times with one hand and a rifle in the other, so I DO know what it is like.

The problem is split functionality between the Secret Service, and local law enforcement. :(
You don't even know if the Use of Force Model is the same, which I doubt.

I have a feeling that problem will be solved when the SS director stands before congress to give an account.
 
When Joe Biden walks for the last time out of the White House on Jan 20 he will reflect upon the words of Richard Nixon!! But with different words, they will go like this, he will look up at the painting of Donald Trump and state. "When people look at you, they see what they can be, and when people look at me, they see things how they really are!

As good as that sounds, realistically the Left, ALL of them are going to try to do whatever to stop Trump and us.
The Left can NOT be Christian and have shown they will maim and kill if they don't get their way.
 
@MedicBravo i know that a Christian can be on the left. I know this because I am a Christian and hold broadly centre left political views.

I seriously suggest you talk to some people who left leaning and hear their thoughts and motivations.
 
I know I linked Left vs Right views.
None of the Left's beliefs are good or of God when "by force" is part of every one of them.

I don't know how a registered Democrat who is a Christian can go along with abortion.

They tell me quite often there are more issues to consider.

As far as I'm concerned the issue of abortion and the no limits they want even to after birth, straight out murder is enough to stop me dead in my tracks toward the Democrats.
