So, about the Berkeley meltdown, what can I say, there’s just something in the water. Berkeley is infamous for frequent foolishness. There’s something I want to say however about some aspects of the alt-right, especially the red pill Christians. Currently quite a few of them are busy glorifying in the pure pleasure of having gotten to watch this sleezeball punch a woman in the face. I’ve seen so many blog posts, links to the video, just gleeful celebrations of violence.
So when is it okay to punch an unarmed 5’1″ woman in the face? How about never. Yeah, never. Unless your life is actually in danger you’re just being a punk, a thug, a bully. Nightwind777 actually provides a breath of fresh air denouncing this behavior. So hat tip there. It’s nice to know the whole world hasn’t gone totally mad.
I’m not going to link to Dalrock, to Vox Day, to the Daily Stormer, to Tomassi’s comment section, but suffice it to say, many red pills who call themselves Christians are actually in celebratory mode, having found a new hero, a thug who gives voice to all their repressed rage. If that is not enough evidence of the problem with red pill “Christians,” there is this character in the video wearing his “Jesus Will Judge You Coat” in neon yellow.
It’s that coat I want to speak of, the way we are all representatives of Jesus Christ. I actually wear a cross to remind myself of that. It’s also a bit like a wedding ring. I belong to someone, I am not really my own. It’s actually a bit scary sometimes, because I take that very seriously. Doing something foolish while wearing His uniform is a major offense.
I would never wear something like “Jesus Will Judge You,” because the moment I do that, I’ve got three fingers pointing right back at me. That becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Matthew 7:2, “For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.”
So, you put on your neon yellow “Jesus Will Judge You” coat and then proceed to kick people down on the ground in the head, you are in some major trouble. Not good, not good at all. Jesus will judge you indeed and I don’t think He’s real happy when people misrepresent His name. Actually that’s probably the understatement of the year. “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea” -Mark 9:42
When we claim to represent Jesus Christ, and then while advertising that fact, we proceed to behave like thugs, punks, there are major spiritual consequences coming our way. That is no joke.

Oh my gosh! I hadn’t heard of this, nor seen that punch photo until now. I wanted to continue to bask in the glow of an almost perfect Easter Sunday (thanks for your like on that post) for a few days, but that ended the moment I turned on the news sometime late Monday.
Do we even know the political leanings of the man with the “Jesus will judge you” shirt? BTW, I can’t make out what it says on that jacket next to the “YOU.” What about the guy who punched the Berkley protester?
The George Soros paid operatives would do anything, and wear anything, in order to get Christians into a fight. It’s their well-known motus operandi, as well as their ultimate goal in turning attention away from the radical Islamist hate and killings, BLM thugs, as well as the refugee crises of raping women and children.
Just read Nightwind777’s post, and it looks like he’s not exactly sure about the perp who punched the girl, either.
*Sigh*
I left Facebook years ago because I no longer could stand the foolishness and rancor on there. I have avoided talking to people about the election, Trump, or anything else that could set off someone’s mind into a frenzy. One more thing that I know I should do is to turn off all of the media of mass deception! Except for maybe Tucker Carlson’s show.
Everything in your post is well said, IB!

I do not agree that “most street preachers are far-right Republicans.” Seems to broad a statement. Also, did you know that the now deceased Fred Phelps – former leader of the Westboro Baptist Church was a life-long Democrat?
He (as well as many of his adult children, are) was a lawyer who did such protests to anger people into assaulting them so that they could sue to get money! You were correct – he was a non-Christian fake preacher!
Years ago, I wrote this about them:
You can now see that I used to think that they were a cult, but when I found out the truth about them being lawyers out to make money, it all made sense. They had the “luxury” of the media of mass deception promoting them as a “Christian” cult, when all the while they were liars, using such ugly protests in order to make money.

Hey newenglandsun!
I’m just curious at this point, but this sort of struck me. I am not what one would call a Calvinist, but I am definitely a Baptist. Your comment about Calvinist Baptists sects left me wondering..who exactly is not Christian? Is it just Calvinists, Baptists, or only those who are both? Not looking for a tussle here, but I think that warrants some expansion, because I happen to know many Calvinists and Baptists who are quite Christian even though I disagree on some points with some of both! Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

The Calvinist Baptists for the most part believe that God has damned certain people to Hell from the get-go. Since God is love, this is contradictory.
Also, such folk as Al Mohler and James White affirm that God only died for a certain elect few and not for all people. This clearly contradicts the Biblical teaching that God wills for all men to be saved (1 Tim. 2:4).
Christian theology believes God is love so God by nature cannot predestine for any one to not be saved but he can allow someone who refuses him and closes themselves off by their sin to be trapped in their sin instead of his freedom. Love wills all things, love hopes all things. If God does not die for all men then God by nature does not will all things or hope all things and hence, God cannot therefore be love.
Hence, Calvinist Baptists (and not just Calvinist Baptists but a LOT of Calvinists including R.C. Sproul) worship a god. It’s just not the Christian God.

Hi newenglandsun thanks for replying
Let me just toss my thoughts in real quick. I hope you remember we had a good Calvinist buddy here on this blog not acting really nice. I took some issue with that, and one of the reasons was his sort of demeanor that anyone not toeing the reformed party line is somehow less of, or not Christian. I think we ought to extend the same to our Calvinist and reformed brethren. To say they are not Christian is well…probably false. I in fact agree with you about the free availability of grace to all humans. But, the truth is, some disagree. That does not make them not Christian. If we say they have to get every single point of doctrine correct, then we have become then. Salvation is by faith, through grace on the Lord Jesus Christ. It’s not through who we believe grace is or is not limited too.
Final point LOL. You keep tossing in Baptists. Calvinism and Baptist have no linkage. One can be a reformed Baptist, or Calvinist Baptist, but not all Baptist are. In fact, most are definitely NOT Calvinist. At any rate, I think we ought to extend the same grace to our Calvinist brothers and sisters that we demand they extend to those of us who are not.

Let me clarify–I am not saying a Calvinist cannot be saved. I am saying they don’t have the same God. Christians believe God is love and love believes all things and hopes all things. Calvinists say God does not hope all things but only hopes some are saved which means God cannot fit the Christian theological definition of love in their view. I think it’s important to remember here that when we extend grace to others it does not necessarily mean their beliefs fits into Christian orthodoxy and that we must acknowledge their beliefs to be Christian 😉 .
Further, I’m not saying Baptists are the only Calvinists (or all Baptists are Calvinists!). R.C. Sproul’s theology is inherently anti-Christian. He’s a Reformed Presbyterian. And a Calvinist.
And to clarify, I think these people tend to take Calvin’s own views quite out of context as well. I do not question Calvin’s salvation whatsoever. My own tradition (High Anglican) venerates him. But a lot of his followers have taken his theology and turned it into something inherently anti-Christian. We have to remember if the theology says God is love, it is from God. If it does not, then it is not from God but from a devil.

It appears now though that Trump has cooled down a bit and is letting China handle North Korea, which is what should have been done all along. I think that we need to concentrate on our national problems and with regional threats (i.e. Venezuela, Cuba, the Mexican Drug Cartels) and let the other Superpowers like Russia and China deal with the problems in their own neighborhoods.

Reblogged this on Citizen Tom and commented:
Here is a post about the “Berkeley meltdown”. The focus is a big guy knocking out a little woman. There is also a bit of commentary about a guy wearing a bright yellow “Jesus jacket”, “JESUS will judge you!”
The three fingers that point back from “you” to “me” should give us all cause for a thoughtful pause. It is not a “you” that will be judged; it is a universal “we”.
So why the reblog? We have a supposedly conservative talk show host in the DC area who positively reveled in the foolishness of the woman who attacked the guy at the Berkeley Trump rally. His point was what else should she have expected. However, the video seems to show that big guy attacking the woman (=> http://fox40.com/2017/04/17/viral-video-appears-to-show-csu-stanislaus-student-punch-woman-in-face-at-berkeley-protest/). She was stupid enough to show up at that rally dressed in black and masked, but she apparently was not crazy enough to go looking for a big guy to punch. The big guy most certainly showed no bravery when he punched her. The silly woman posed no danger to him or anyone else. She just had no good reason for being there; neither did he.
When a guy takes down a foolish woman that way, it is nothing to brag about. All it indicates is a profound failure of civility. At some point we are all weak. At some point we are all strong. So it is that our peace depends upon the strong protecting the weak. That did not happened in that riot.
What these riots at Berkeley show is that the police are not being allowed to do their job. So we have undisciplined people creating a disturbance. The authorities are allowing these people to use the campus as their battleground. The people in charge should be ashamed. The parents of the students at Berkeley may as well find another university for their children.
