I know some of you don't believe in the Rapture, and have put out some very good proof for it not existing, but I'm still scared I won't make it. This post has some pretty convincing data for the Rapture:

Disciple Robert

And also underneath the post, I wanted to see what the posters' stance was for the BLM movement. I commented under the username "ghostly". Please look at the comment thread.

He said that the people movements here on Earth have "the powers of darkness" in them. Does this mean I've been supporting evil? Should I not support BLM? I feel the need to because the movement is so powerful, and speaks to me in volumes, but I don't want to support something that would be considered evil.

I don't really understand what he means about people's movements like BLM being full of darkness? surely racial justice ad social justice generally are ,pvements close to God's heart? how were Martin Luther King and William Wilberforce etc operating in darkness?

Check out this awesome letter that another user wrote to Black Lives Matter. Something like this will surely train the mind away from "the powers of darkness", as it embraces the good of the movement, and cries out against the corruption.

Praying for you.:crossrc:

Do you notice any difference between Martin Luther King's movement and what's going on now?

What does Black Lives Matter mean anyway?
ALL LIVES MATTER.
Why doesn't this happen when a cop shoots a white guy by mistake?
You think it doesn't happen??

To me it looks very evil.
Burning cars and private property and looting is NOT GODLY.

I couldn't open the link. I don't know why.

God says to not pay evil with evil, and He also said vengeance is His. Whenever you pay evil with evil and whenever you take vengeance into your own hands, you are not being like your Father in Heaven.

ASM (all sinners matter) and yes, I believe the pre-trib rapture is real but wouldn't be a martyr for any end time scenario.

Well all lives matter unless they are considered inconvenient. And there is blood money to be made.

I think that to be just we have to stop thinking in color.
Black Lives Matter separates blacks from other persons.
I also think we have to stop concentrating on the injustice of slavery. It was a horrible period of time, bujt the Africans themselves gave their own up for slavery...it was the way back then, and still is in some parts of the world. Women are considered slaves in some countries and in some criminal activity.

We should treat ALL humans the same and quit separating ourselves from each other.

The color black is not a campaign....it's just a matter of being...how one is born.

It's about resentment.
A young girl, about 17 or so, brought this up in an interview by a reporter. She said, basically, that this is all pent up anger from slavery.

These kids go to liberal schools and are immersed in teachings of social injustice toward the black man.
These liberal professors aren't doing them any good.
While these kids are out there looting and rioting,,,black anchors are in news studios with good jobs because they act like a normal human being and not like an angered and rebellious child that can't even think for himself.

Black males should be treated just like everyone else if they act like everyone else.

And I know that some cops are racially prejudiced...these should be gotten RID OF.

i do agree resentment is pat of it.

i also think these rioters are doing no favours to themselves and their communities.

dont forget there are black people who do act like everyone else and they still get victimised. it is for those people i think justice is important

not all liberal teaching is bad

i am agaisnt abortion, the braekdown of marriage and families etc but when it ocmes to supporting th eoppresed, i would say am liberal. i think Jesus was.

i think Jesus would come down hard on the rioters, yes. but i think to the African American community as a whole He would show compassion foe their plight. He is love.

Agreed.
And I also think everyone would like to fight for the oppressed ....I don't think only liberals care for the oppressed of the world.

P.S.
Some Christians believe we are of the Kingdom of God and should stay within that Kingdom. That we should just pray and not get involved with governmental matters.

I don't agree with this.
Jesus died for what He believed...he didn't sit back and expect the Sanhedrin to take care of matters.

I don't understand that way of thinking.
If we don't make a difference, who will?

To let it be known:

I do not condone any of the rioting, or the looting. It's sick, and it hurts people.

But the rioting and looting isn't all there is. There are so many peaceful protests going on that the media won't show for some reason.

And not all of this is pent up anger from slavery, that's not just it. That's ignorant of her to say.

When I say I believe in the Black Lives Matter community, I mean that abuse towards our black youth need to stop. Malcolm X fought for it, Martin Luther King Jr fought for it. And now we're fighting for our equality.

On the Rapture, I believe in it, but I'm not sold on a Pre-Tribulation Rapture. If it happens, good. If not, then at least I wasn't banking on it. If it turns out to be Post-Tribulation or even Mid-Tribulation, a lot of Christians are going to be in for a very rude awakening. I hope their faith survives.

On BLM, I just see that as a smaller group of everyone who believes that black lives matter. They're leftist, I don't support or trust them or their approach to the issue. I prefer a libertarian approach, libertarians have been critical of police overreach and racist laws for years.
