For you, when does it become a "human person" issue and when is it a "political issue"? I understand why folks would argue that BLM is a political issue, but I every black person I know (up in canada) has an example of racial profiling by authority figures (usually police).I have a litmus test for any issue on which I must take a position. It's simply this. I ask myself, what if this position is wrong? If the consequences of it being wrong will affect my Christian life in any negative way, then I will abandon it. In this case, I feel I can safely say, "If I'm wrong, so what? If you're wrong, then what?" So, if I choose not to become involved in the propagation of this type of inflammatory partisan political rhetoric, since Christ never taught us to be involved with politics in any way, I don't believe God will ask me on the judgement day, Why didn't you get involved in the partisan political fray of your time? But on the other hand, if I do get involved, then it's just possible that God might ask, Why did you involve yourself with worldly politics and alienate so many to your Christian witness? Just a thought.
When does "supporting the downtrodden" go from a personal, 1 to 1 obligation to a "help all people in that situation"?
