I'm struggling with this anger too brother. My hope is Christ Jesus, Son of God, for mercy through the shedding of his blood on calvary. To be honest with you, I don't deserve to be among any here, to walk among decent people. I am redeemed only through Jesus. Everything about me outside of Jesus is worse than that man's comments. I've wished death on people; punishment on others. I was a liar, an adulterer, my mouth used to be full of evil, and to tell you the truth, I'm fighting it everyday. If it were not for Christ Jesus, and I got what I deserved; I'd burn in hell... 100% knowing it was just end to me.
All I mean to say is to remember our King, Lord Jesus, brother. We're all unrighteous. Some so much more than others, but none good.
Mercy and grace for you, wishing you many blessings and much forebearance. I know it tries the patience with every ounce we got. Bless you brother.
Sometimes it's Jesus Himself who does His enemies in.
Indeed, but it is Lord Jesus who does the judgement. I have struggled extensively with judgement and recently.
What I have come to understand, related to my own struggles, is the difference between discernment and my being judgemental. That being that discernement is sober, it doesn't come from a place that is emotionally motivated. It's not censorius, or fault finding, or from a place where I have assumed to have the moral high-ground. The morality doesn't come from me so how can I be judgmental? I couldn't practice discernment when self-righteous. When I cast judgement; I was assuming the role of God. This is somewhat mirrored in what Lucifer did; in pride. God says that with the same measure we mete out against another we will be judged. So I'm trying to share my struggle with hypocrisy; my struggle with logs in my eyes.
All the best brother. I just want to represent hope for change and restoration, through Christ Jesus. Much love. Take care.
He didn't care about the well-being of freedom loving Americans. He wanted to crush us. No empathy here.
Yep. Zero shits given.

All true, yet irrelevant. This guy was on a rampage against humanity.
Sometimes it's Jesus Himself who does His enemies in. See the Psalms. Jesus doesn't always have mercy. Sometimes He crushes.
