Church Violence Roy Moore

This same spirit of murder has been operating for the past few years in a number of nations around the world as thousands of Christians have been slaughtered in the Middle East, China, Vietnam, Cambodia and the many killings by Muslims in Africa.

CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA, 2015
The church shooting on June 17, 2015 hit home when a 21 year old white supremacist named Dylann Roof entered a Methodist church in Charleston during a Wednesday night prayer and Bible study. He was warmly greeted by black Christians, who extended their love to him. After having been in the meeting for some time and when the people started to pray, Roof stood up, removed a gun from his backpack and began shooting the people who had done nothing other than show love to him. Nine people died that night and this young man showed no remorse at his trial.

SUTHERLAND, TEXAS, 2017
On November 5, 2017, an avowed atheist named Devin Kelley prepared to visit a small Southern Baptist church in Sutherland. His purpose for going was not peaceful, with the intent to worship God, but to take the lives of the people gathered there. The church building had a single aisle down the middle of the sanctuary with pews on either side and Kelley took his time, walking up and down the aisle, calmly shooting his victims in the head. It didn’t matter whether it was an adult, child or a baby; they all died under the withering gunfire. He reloaded and went back down the aisle to see if his victims were dead, if they moved, he shot them again.

As Kelley exited the front entrance to take a break, he was confronted by a man living just a few houses away from the church. Kelley was wearing body armor but he was shot in the leg and the foot. The surprised gunman let go of his rifle and ran to his car. The neighbor flagged down a man in a pick-up truck and asked for help to chase down the shooter. After several miles of a high speed chase, Kelly lost control of his vehicle and crashed. He chose to turn his gun on himself and committed suicide.

TO BE ARMED OR NOT
None of the church members were armed in Charleston. When the pastor heard Dylann Roof say that he was going to kill them all, he tried in vain to stop Roof and was killed instantly. He was powerless to stop this young man from shooting more church members.

No one was armed in the Southern Baptist church in Sutherland. They only thing they could do was hide under the pews and play dead. When the neighbor across the street heard the shooting, he grabbed his rifle and ran out of the house barefoot to confront Kelley. As a result, some of the church members survived.

Had someone in the Methodist church been armed, not as many people would have been killed before the Dylann Roof was neutralized. Had someone in the Southern Baptist church in Sutherland been armed, the outcome would also have been very different.

As a pastor, I understand we are living in hard times and things are not like they were some 40 years ago when I came to Christ. As a church, we have taken steps to ensure that if someone enters our church with the intent to kill, they will be met with equal force. It is my duty to protect my congregation and I am not going to apologize to bleeding heart liberals who say we should turn the other cheek. I would like to point out that in the two church shootings I mentioned, 35 Christians turned the other cheek and were rewarded with death. Their souls are now in heaven but their time on earth was cut short.

JUDGE ROY MOORE
According to the Constitution, a citizen is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Roy Moore is running for a vacant senate seat in the state of Alabama. He is a hardcore conservative Christian, a defender of the Constitution, who was twice removed as a judge in Alabama for upholding the Constitution and refusing to remove a 5,280-pound granite monument depicting the Ten Commandments in the rotunda of the state’s judicial building.

He is not part of the establishment and is not liked by the Republican Party. President Donald Trump endorsed Luther Strange during the primary election, and unlike Roy Moore, he received a large amount of financial support.

Even though President Trump went to Alabama to campaign on behalf of Luther Strange, Moore handily won the primary election with 55% of the vote. The media all over the United States spoke about the devastating blow dealt to the national GOP leadership.
