“They are blessed, for they should be called the children of God,” says Matthew 5:9. But perhaps not saying that is Rev. Steve Cordle, of the Great Missionary Baptist Church in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
After all, “No one likes violence, but sometimes it's necessary,” he told the congregation Sunday, saying he indulged in anti-Trump interface rhetoric. And such stories have not been surprising, but sparked a surge in criticism. Commentator Todd Sternes, for example, accused the pastor of “using his pulpit to raise rebels.” Starness later wrote on Tuesday to explain in detail:
“Elon Musk can be violent when he forces the road to the US Treasury and threatens to steal your personal information and social security checks (caudle continues). Sometimes the demon is ugly and very They act ugly, so they become violent and have no choice but to fight.”
Caudle also works for the Regional Regional Planning Committee.
Dr. Caudle is not the only pastor who uses his pulpit to bully President Trump and his policies. Many pastors have intentionally misrepresented the president's comments about the president's deportation.
That's because many of these denominations get hundreds of millions of dollars in our taxes to care for illegal people. And many of the so-called evangelical Never Trump leaders were actually checking to be Trump from the Biden administration.
Of course, Caudle certainly can be an ideological motive. Because many black churches are particularly left-wing, certain phenomena have been reversed in Black Americans. That is, within the general population, regular church fans are far more likely than those who don't attend services to support the Republican Party. However, among Black Americans, the church's influence is linked to strengthening democratic support.
Do you raise sacred hell?
Of course, contrary to Caudle's claims, no one is trying to steal American social security checks. Rather, government efficiency (DOGE), led by entrepreneur Elon Musk, is trying to eliminate government waste, corruption and theft. If successful, this effort could improve the long-term outlook for Social Security.
But, not surprising, the pastor seemed to know that he was walking into the hot water. As Christian Post reports on a sermon entitled “The Violent Kingdom”:
Caudle pointed out that when he predicted some of his congregations' objections to the threat of violence were not very “Christian” he argued that he was a biblical command from Jesus himself.
“Why not talk like this? Because Jesus did it,” he said. He quoted Matthew 11:12.
“The Kingdom of God is a war zone,” Caudle continued. “It's the battlefield. …It's where hellish forces clash with angel organizers in violent spiritual wars, and we are included in the battle. The violence of this war is what we have. It affects every part of our existence. It affects our bodies, our minds, our peace.
“The stress, confusion and pressure caused by violence can be very intense. We find ourselves on the crisis of collapse, but we feel that we are about to break down from time to time. Our accusations are to keep fast, because Jesus is the x of our battle and he will fight our battle.”
Theological compromise
Some people get the condition that they are allegedly incited violence. But others may say that he refers primarily to spiritual battles. Again, you might point out that this explanation sounds like an Islamist “jihad” defense. Many violence is carried out in the name of jihad, but these apologists claim that it is also simply referring to mental struggles.
This states that a good theologian is not the Amish, but in fact he has correctly established what he calls “Just War Doctrine.” However, for war to be fair, four criteria must be met, and the fantasies of the customs he faces will not qualify.
Doctrine of unjust war
The ones who are eligible are the so-called left, and are almost uniquely violent. (This was shown in “Violence Co.: Left-wing Companies” in the 2020s.) and Exhibition A is probably the Antifa/BLM Riots of over 2020 designed to drive President Trump out of office. This left-wing violence is not new either. In fact, it began soon after the birth of the French Revolution on the left in 1789 and has continued ever since. Consider the next short list of incidents over the past 15 years.
In 2012, left-winger Floyd Colkins attacked the Familial Research Council (FRC) office in Washington, DC, and fired security guards. In 2017, Bernie Sanders supporters fired on Republicans during Congressional baseball practice, injuring particularly those of the whip majority Steve Scullies. In 2019, in Dayton, Ohio, a passionate shooter on the far left killed nine people. In 2019, an anti-China-related individual tried to launch a government facility in Tacoma, Washington. In 2019, ANTIFA supporters attacked an ice facility in Tacoma, Washington, with an attack that could kill “hundreds.” In 2020, ANTIFA activists killed a conservative demonstrator in Portland, Oregon. In 2020, the acquisition of Seattle's neighbourhood Capitol Hill Autonomous Borough (CHAZ) saw violent episodes including shootings during the occupation of a left-wing agitator.
And more…
The list continues:
In 2021, a man with a black supremacy view ploughed a Christmas parade, killing six people and injuring more than 60 people in Waukesha, Wisconsin. In 2022, 29 people were injured on the NYC subway in a shooting by a black supremacist. In 2022, leftist activist Quintes Brown attempted to assassinate Mayor Craig Greenberg's Louisville. Since 2017, there have been multiple incidents of ANTIFA violence in Berkeley, California. In 2023, left-wing protesters committed violence, including setting up police vehicles, during demonstrations against a new police training facility in Atlanta, Georgia.
Plus, antique media loves to talk about January 6th, but forgets the May 2020 riots near the White House. Many Secret Service agents were injured and President Trump had to be rushed to the protection banker.
Is violence the default for the left? A blm sympathizer named Michelle Taylor probably hints in the same way. “Of course, violence is the only way,” she wrote in an August 2020 tweet. (Taylor was considerate at the time as a frequent university guest lecturer.)
In reality, the left and right are separated from different philosophical stones so that supporters of different religions can have different moral compasses. Leftists are lowly people, wandering around with relativism summed up in moral nihilism. For them, as they said, “silence is violence” – and violence, well, could be appropriate.
