BLM and the Kingdom of God

I have been thinking about the blm movement for awhile now.

I cant help by thinking that is there a place where black lives matter, white lives matter, and police lives matter... the kingdom of God. A kingdom full of love where all lives matter.

Isnt that our home, not the country of birth, not a wordly nation, but the kingdom of God. Perhaps alot of Christians dont see it that way.

Does anyone really see, God transforming America into the kingdom of God? He already has a kingdom free from all this wickedness, and he has been drawing people into it for the past 2000 years.

I feel that perhaps the blm movement is like trying to force a nation to become the kingdom of God.

Perhaps the way to look at it, from a Christian standpoint, is to say hey, everything your looking for is in the kingdom of God, turn to him.

Maybe im wrong or maybe a little early. Perhaps these types of division is whats needed. In the sense that, as the world continues to grow more wicked, Christians will stop seeing their nation as their nation or their home, they start seperating themselves from the world, and start seeing the kingdom of God as the place they belong and fight for.

As my Jewish Mother in Law use to say

"From your lips to Gods' ears"

If it was only so.

BLM also includes Believer's Lives Matter

This is my opinion . . . from sharing with @Sparagmos, maybe one other Black Lives Matter person, and what I get from the media > it seems that Black Lives Matter people can have different reasons for demonstrating and can desire to use different methods. So, my adventure is to communicate with each person and listen and discover, and do what God has me do.

There are people who insist the movement is peaceful, but they claim there are people who are trying to highjack Black Lives Matter into using violence to get what they want.

It seems to me the ones using peaceful methods want economic equality, nondiscriminatory and accountable police work, and mourning and caring about blacks who have been unjustly killed by police.

And I would say there is the rightful meaning of the "Black lives matter" saying. It does not mean blacks are more than others; so it is not a racist slogan. But it means that, because blacks have been treated like they don't matter, people need to treat them like they do matter. Now, may be there are ones who do not mean the slogan like this, but I think this is how God would mean it

And Jesus has prayed that we are loved as our Father has loved Jesus > John 17:22-26. So, even though Jesus who is so superior and better than all of us, Jesus desires that we share with Him in how He is blessed. So, Jesus wants equality for us, like this > so better than what humans are trying to get . . . and trying to keep others from getting.

"'And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one:'" (John 17:22)

So, I would say Jesus wants us all to have equality with Him, even . . . as much as is possible. So, Jesus is not at all conceited, then, even though He is so superior to all of us.

Black people absolutely matter. But I do not support the Black Lives Matter movement. If you go to their page, they support trans and LGBTQ people, want to abolish the police and the nuclear family.
