With all the talk, protesting and rioting going on over the murder of George Floyd, I thought as Christian, we should bring the facts to light so we can discern with wisdom.
The evils of social justice is at the root of most of this. See it exposed here:
http://spiritandtruthdiscernment.blogspot.com/2020/06/social-justice-exposed.html
First, let's cover the secular facts then get to the heart of the issue and the cure at the end of this article.
He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
Proverbs 18:13
After researching and finding the facts, the following points need to be considered as we work our way through all the rhetoric involved in this case:
1) There is NO racism as there is only one race. God created all men in one race, in His image. (see Genesis) There is sin and hate yes, but not true racism! If you keep talking that narrative of race wars when there is only one race, you are part of the problem, not the cure.
2) The way this man died (under a police man;s knee for 8 minutes to his neck) was without a doubt murder and all those involved should get the maximum sentences allowed by law to see that justice is indeed served. I know of not one sane person in America who would disagree that is was a cold blooded murder so there is unity in that.
The ill groups are fanning race flames with lies to cause chaos and destruction just like satan does.
4) The media and the socialist / marxist / anarchist social gospel heretic types are trying to turn this event into a RACIST, hate act to stoke the fires of riots, chaos and socialist change. That is how socialism/marxist and their brand of change flourishes. It is a known fact that the socialist / marxist types targeted the American black churches to bring their cancer to the nation many decades ago. (see Martin Luther King Jr)
Do your own research and I will have more to come on that soon.
5) On the day George was murdered, there were 4 police in the immediate area. White, black, Asian and Hispanic officers were all right there! The fact is they are ALL charged with this crime. How is this a simple WHITE on BLACK situation I ask?
6) The liberal media, many black groups (black lives matter) false social gospel Christians and the evil elites that want socialism/ chaos in the land are all switching the story line. It is being switched from a man who was mistreated and was murdered by police, to black people are all so oppressed in this nation and we need to change the entire culture / de-fund police to aid the oppressed.
7) George Floyd had a long criminal past with many drug arrests and a violent home invasion (he held a gun to a pregnant ladies stomach in a robbery.) Did George move past all of that? The officials say George had drugs in his system on the day he died, per a coroner, and the police were called as he was "accused of" passing fake money. (No one deserves to die as he did for those crimes.)
8) Floyd was born in free America, he had many freedoms as a US citizen, he had food, shelter, family and education growing up etc. He even the chance to go to college on a scholarship that he never completed as he chose to fall into drugs.
9) George was known to make a try to clean his life up and he moved to Minnesota. But by the drugs in his system it seems safe to say he was still making wrong decisions as a man. (No excuse for his murder.)
10) The fact is that some people do still hate blacks in America and some are mistreated or killed is an injustice, yes I get that! But the law is on their side today and so are all clear thinking US citizens that make up the vast majority. The opportunities to live a free and productive life are there for those who choose it in MOST cases. It is the twisted groups like BLM, socialists and the corrupt social gospel men/churches that keep telling them you are still oppressed that feed the race flames. They make excuses for black criminals actions and even rioting when they should be pointing their communities to the many blessings they have to live free in America, though it is not perfect. (What nation is?)
Those are the Floyd facts as I know them after researching it all and feel free to email me if I have it wrong:

Now that we have seen the truth is this case, let me vent some righteous thought that I have on this general topic of race issues:
*I know blacks were slaves once and I know the pain of past woes.
But I am tired of hearing that the blacks wounds are so recent! My close relatives in Europe had millions of their lives taken and entire countries steam rolled by Hitler / Germany just 70 years ago. Am I hating on Germans today or expecting them to give me anything to pay for their past citizens sins? Not at all.
* The next time a black mayor, a black police chief, a black popular movie star, a black rich recording artist or a black billionaire sports hero says, blacks are held back/oppressed in the USA; I just want to cry out BARRACK OBAMA!!!!
(The nation elected a black man as President, TWICE and just a few years ago at that!)
*The black plight today is NOT the same as it was in the 50-60's.
Can more be done, indeed! (Like convicting all hateful, killer cops and calling black men to stop doing drugs and crime.)
* I tire of the "police are profiling me" bit! I can tell you that I am a senior aged, white street preacher with no arrest record and I have been harassed, abused, profiled, followed by..... white police. Do I then say all white cops are bad, no! The fact is 99% have been wonderful to deal with on the streets and I honor them as the law.
*Where is the great out cry for black baby abortion, the high rate of black crime and black on black violence in their communities?
* I tire of the "police are profiling me" bit!

*Black leaders and blacks in general need to stop being hijacked by bad cops actions then the ill groups using them for their evil gain. Leave the past / slavery behind and walk in what you have today. Build upon it as good law abiding hard working citizens and decent, moral, justice loving Americans are with you! (that is 99% of America)
What is the real hope in all of this?
I am a born again follower of Jesus Christ.
The ONLY hope for the plight of blacks and ALL men for that matter is the gospel good news as that alone can change a heart. (see it below)
The only hope for the future is not programs, more money in urban areas and less policing. The need is the proclaiming of the biblical gospel to the lost, men repenting of sin and hate then running to that gospel where hearts and lives are changed, then set for heaven. Even that will not guarantee a bright future as:
Jesus warned the last days would be lawless! Read Matt 24
All of these ill groups (esp the social justice marxist / false Christians) are workers of the devil and a stain against God's truth. They claim to care but are most often evil in hiding as they lack the truth to make real change and have ill motives for change.
In the end, they put gasoline on a smoldering fire to make it roar up again for their ill and evil causes.
Do NOT be deceived by them!
Repent and obey the gospel....
