Christless conservatism, Wolf of Wall Street personality, mentally unstable, mean-spirited, hateful, bisexual, anti-Jewish, anti-Protestant, white supremacist, neo-Nazi admirer of Hitler, admirer of Stalin, totalitarian, obviously needs deliverance. –J.B.

He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us,
that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
–2 CORINTHIANS 5:21 (NKJV)–

¹⁴ What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? ¹⁵ If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, ¹⁶ and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? ¹⁷ Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. ¹⁸ But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. ¹⁹ You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! ²⁰ But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? ²¹ Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? ²² Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? ²³ And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. ²⁴ You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. ²⁵ Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? ²⁶ For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
–JAMES 2:14-26 (NKJV)–

You gotta keep ’em separated

Like the latest fashion
Like a spreading disease
The kids are strappin’ on their way to the classroom
Gettin’ weapons with the greatest of ease
The gangs stake out their own campus locale
And if they catch you slippin’, then it’s all over, pal
If one guy’s colors and the other’s don’t mix
They’re gonna bash it up, bash it up, bash it up, bash it up

Hey! Man, you talkin’ back to me?
Take him out
You gotta keep ’em separated
Hey! Man, you disrespectin’ me?
Take him out
You gotta keep ’em separated
Hey, don’t pay no mind
If you’re under 18, you won’t be doing any time
Hey! Come out and play

By the time you hear the siren
It’s already too late
One goes to the morgue, and the other to jail
One guy’s wasted, and the other’s a waste
It goes down the same as the thousand before
No one’s getting smarter
No one’s learning the score
Your never-ending spree of death and violence and hate
Is gonna tie your own rope, tie your own rope, tie your own

Hey! Man, you disrespectin’ me?
Take him out
You gotta keep ’em separated
Hey! Man, you talkin’ back to me?
Take him out
You gotta keep ’em separated
Hey, don’t pay no mind
If you’re under 18, you won’t be doing any time
Hey! Come out and play

It goes down the same as the thousand before
No one’s getting smarter
No one’s learning the score
Your never-ending spree of death and violence and hate
Is gonna tie your own rope, tie your own rope, tie your own

Hey! Man, you talkin’ back to me?
Take him out
You gotta keep ’em separated
Hey! Man, you disrespectin’ me?
Take him out
You gotta keep ’em separated
Hey, don’t pay no mind
If you’re under 18, you won’t be doing any time
Hey! Come out and play

Murderer: covered in sangre
Murderer: blood on your shoulders

Karma: how does it feel?
Karma: to take a life?
Wailin’: wailing in vain
Wailin’: you’ll reap what you sow!

Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not kill

Shot!
Robbing your family
Robbing your friends
Robbing your best friends, you
Rapist: you’ll have no redemption
Burn, burn, burn

Its comin’ back around at you
Its comin’ back around
I might just come after you
I just might come after, but you’ll never know
Broke the first commandment

Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not kill
Thou…

Face your judgment!

Whoever sheds man’s blood,
by man his blood shall be shed;
for in the image of God He made man.
–Genesis 9:6 (NKJV)–

He who strikes a man so that he dies
shall surely be put to death.
–Exodus 21:12 (NKJV)–

The one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.
–Romans 13:4 (NIV)–

The agent of the law who puts the criminal to death is not guilty of murder; rather, it is the law itself which puts him to death…those who have waged war at God’s command, or in accordance with His laws, have represented in their persons the public justice or the wisdom of government, and in this capacity have put to death wicked men; such persons have by no means violated the commandment, “Thou shalt not kill.”
–St. Augustine, The City of God 1.21–
