Charlie Kirk wanted to talk. They wanted to murder. "When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser." This quote tells me they're worse than a loser. They're pure evil.

The disingenuous mainstream media have the memory of a goldfish or are evil—your choice.

We must all find time for prayer. It’s often our last option. It should be our first. Myself included. image

"If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you." (Evangelion, cf. John 15:18–19)

"For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them." (Evangelion, cf. Matthew 18:20) Jesus is with us when we come together.

As a follower of the Way, how are we to act in the aftermath of this horrific attack? Jesus (Iēsous) faced multiple assassination attempts on his life during his ministry: - Nazareth crowd tried to throw him off a cliff for his teachings (Luke 4:28–30) - Pharisees plotted with Herodians to kill him after a Sabbath healing (Mark 3:6) - Jews in Jerusalem attempted to stone him for claiming his pre-existence (John 8:58–59) - Another stoning attempt at the Feast of Dedication for saying, “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30–39) - Sanhedrin planned his death after Lazarus’ resurrection (John 11:53–54) - Chief priests sought to arrest and kill him during his final week (Luke 19:47–48) - Judas betrayed him, leading to his arrest (Matt. 26:47–50) - Jewish leaders and Romans crucified him (John 19:1–30) And amid that chaos, what did Jesus (Iēsous) teach us? Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. —Luke 6:27–28 If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. —Luke 6:32–33 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. —Luke 6:35–36 We must not succumb to our anger and thirst for revenge. There is a better Way. Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all.  —Romans 12:17 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. —Romans 12:21 Let us encourage each other to comfort the grieving, and be merciful to all, including the evil.

At least four major wars were started with a single assassination: - World War I (1914) - First Balkan War (1912) - Second Punic War (218 BC) - Rwandan Civil War/Genocide (1994) A single violent act can tip already tense political landscapes into full‑scale war.

The anger and call for vengeance swelling inside you is, in Star Wars lore, the Dark Side. Do not let it pull you from the better path Jesus calls us to. 🙏🏻🧡 View quoted note →

If you see anyone celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk, they're possessed by a demon or worse.

Words can prevent war, But when they fail, conflict begins: "When words fail, wars begin." "Jaw, jaw is better than war, war." - Churchill "When diplomacy ends, war begins." "The pen is mightier than the sword, but when the pen fails, the sword is drawn." "Words are the first weapon; when they fail, steel follows."

I feel deep grief. Tearful eyes, heavy heart. I'm so sorry to Kirk and his family. This should never have happened. Something feels different. Jesus (Iēsous), come quickly.

And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.” (Evangelion, cf. Luke 6:20–21)

And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.” And the woman was healed immediately. (Evangelion, cf. Luke 8:48) Jesus shows the transformative power of faith, and a responsive, loving Father.

And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified him... And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” (Evangelion, cf. Luke 23:33–34) Jesus showed us a merciful Father who offers forgiveness and reconciliation.

And he was told, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see you.” But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word [logos] of God [Theos] and do it.” (Evangelion, cf. Luke 8:20–21) Listening to Jesus is vital.

"Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbour to the man who fell among robbers?" He said, "The one who showed him mercy." And Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise." (Evangelion, cf. Luke 10:36–37) Show compassion and love, Reflecting the merciful Father. ❤‍🔥

“No one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.” (Evangelion, cf. Luke 10:22) Exclusivity of who the Father is clear, Jesus is the sole revealer of the true Father.
