A TIME TO BE FED UP

Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font

 Sir,

Love and forgiveness, and the quest for peace are indeed a great Christian virtue, but they do not apply and neither can they be offered where there is no repentance, remorse or restitution in the part of the aggressor.


You cannot forgive and show love or be at peace with someone who proceeds to rape and murder your wife and children before your eyes. You cannot forgive and show love when people burn your home, steal your land, destroy your faith and your way of life; insult your God and wipe all trace and memory of your family and nationality.


Delusioonal


That would be delusional and madness, and nothing but a full scale manifestation of wholesale cowardice. And to accept injustice, servitude, barbarity and oppression with gratitude and cowardly acquiescence and silence, all in the name of the quest for peace and love, is a curse.
It is better to die a free man than to live like a slave. It is better to die in your feet than to live in your knees. It is better to die with honor, dignity and fighting for a noble cause and your freedom, than to live in perpetual slavery and indefinite servitude.


Evil


Wherever and whenever we see evil and a manifestation of man’s inhumanity to man, it is our duty as Christians and leaders to call it out and oppose it vehemently. If you cannot do that then you are not a believer but an intellectual barbarian and a shameless coward that is not worthy of anything.
I have no thoughts of love and peace towards perpetrators of crimes against humanity, only contempt, disdain, defiance and pure and unadulterated hate. I do not hate the police, but those among them who commit hideous atrocities. We are not dealing with human beings or even animals here: we are dealing with ravenous, wild and insatiable beasts! And there can be no love, mercy, fellowship or peace between wild and ravenous beasts and the sons and daughters of men.


I cannot live in peace or in love with those who are committed to violence and those the Bible vividly describes as ‘men of blood’. I cannot live in love and peace with those who seek to drain the blood of my people, destroy their heritage, steal their livelihood and break their bones.


I have nothing but hate for those with such an evil agenda. I hate them with the Biblical ‘perfect hatred’ and I make no apology for it. This is not the time to love but it is time to rise up in righteousness and in holy anger and say no more to heartless individuals who thrive in darkness.  It is time to deal with those who prey on the weak and attack the old, the ageing and the vulnerable. It is time to deal with the corrupt, who see themselves as above all others. It is time to denounce the people who are no better than demons.
