Easy Terrorism?

 Knife Murder!

Last week a British member of Parliament was stabbed and estimated seventeen times by a young Muslim man in a Church as the MP invited people to seek help from him!

It is perhaps the same world-wide, were the public can talk to a politician an get a letter written, countersigned or get some help in their struggles with local government, the police, disputes with other people or faulty goods?

But now criminal activity is being employed by the cowardice of disturbed people and we are living in the spirit of the age, where knife crime is now more prevalent than it has been for over a hundred years?

Deuteronomy 21:1,  1 Chronicles 28:9,  Job 37:16,  Romans 2:12,  1 Corinthians 2:11,  Hebrews 4:12-13.

Notting Hill Carnival! Two.

Acid, guns and Knives?

Another year another opportunity for the gangs to spoil the event for all the others, including the many foreign tourists and another year for the new locals wanting to see a final end to this unwanted street party?

Time will tell if it will last, once known for its race riots, today it is associated with criminals, drug dealers and thieves! Time will also tell if the Hackney and Brixton events will finally replace it and spread out to more local parades that can be controlled?

People want to enjoy themselves and west-Indian culture has nothing to do with criminal activity, but was once based on a Christian festival that was adapted over the years! Carnival should be inclusive, but all cross community for it to diverse, grown and continue to be the best of the best?

Psalm 68:24,   Isaiah 63:1,   2 Corinthians 2:14,   Colossians 2:15,   Numbers 16:26,   Psalm 112:10,   2 Peter 3:17.

Knives! Two.

Islam and Paganism!

This is the one time that the bible mentions something that is still practiced today across the Middle-East, the acknowledgement of justifying self slashing! For them it means the shedding of sins, but this is a false idea and has nothing to do with faith in God!

The cutting of the flesh is as old as men were on the Earth and it probably started in the days of Tubal-Cain before the great flood, but like all sins it has continued! Today we see it in tattooing and many have tried to justify it, but we must not run against God because He wants the best for all of us!

1 Kings 18:28,  Leviticus 19:28,   John 3:3,  15-21,  Romans 3:23,  6 :23.

Knives! One.

Murders from Stabbing.

Life is cheap when gangs resort to stabbing out of their understanding of twisted ideas?

Respect, facing up or down, rivalry, showmanship are all aspects of the same thing?

There is no easy solution to gang warfare, because it is going on all over the world and no one as yet has been able to stop it!

London has seen fifty-five murders in the last four months, but considering the population is ten-million plus its not a big figure as is being made out?

What we learn from the bible is that it is mostly evil people who open themselves up and refuse to submit to God! If they do not do it with a weapon they do it under their tongue in inflammatory speech to raise the game!

We are warned that in the last times evil will prevail much more than it is now and knowing this we should understand that while it is still light we seek Jesus and Eternity!

Proverbs 30:14,  John 9:4,   Hebrews 3:13,  15.  Revelation 9:8.

'Swords. Part-Two.

If you know its wrong, don't do it.

People who use knives, sword, bats and guns are thugs and they know what they are doing is wrong.

There are laws in every land to keep order and peace.

We know that there is corruption and dishonesty, even in the police and government.

But God says 'if you lift a weapon of any kind, you have now broken the law.'

Mark 14:47,  Ezekiel 35:5-6,  Revelation 13:10.

'Swords. Part-One.

' He who lifts a weapon, will die by that weapon.'

These are the words of Jesus in the garden, as He was being arrested by the mob. Some Disciples drew their swords and cut off the ear of one of the soldiers.

But Jesus said this kind of anger only lead to that person dying the same way, the events of that night had to happen that way.

Today it remains for the use of knives and guns to, this is not God's way. He is the One who Judges and He has the last say.

Matthew 26:52, Genesis 9:6, Psalm 55:23, Revelation 16:6
