The fact of the matter is a woman has no business being a cop on the beat. She stands no chance against the average criminal when it comes to a street fight. Of course that isn't politically correct even among Christians but physical standards have been lowered across the board just for the purpose of hiring women.qwerty said:she became ?emotionally involved to the point that she overreacted?
So unlike a woman.... Am I right? [emoji27]

We put our police on the street, tell them to uphold justice, protect themselves and others, and shoot when you have to. We can't also give them the caveat that if they "mess up", they can be charged with murder or manslaughter.
From what I can see, the shooting in Tulsa was not justifiable. However, it was also not murder. It was a poor decision made during a very stressful situation . Thus, it should be treated as malpractice. The city should make the victims families whole and the officer should be removed from the force for not doing her job properly. We don't charge Doctors with murder if they kill a patient, even if it is due to their own incompetence. We pay the family for their loss and the surgeon will lose his/her medical license.
Calling this (or other recent controversies) murder and demanding criminal charges is the wrong way to address the problem.
When you give up the mark of the beast you so readily accepted with a gleefulness, and start to see this society for the wickedness that's is exasperated by the government that you are advocating, and stop trying to turn people into "conservative christians" and turn them to the true freedom in Christ, then maybe, just maybe, we'll start to see real repentance in your neck of the woods.Tarheel Baptist said:Happy to see that recovering IBF continues his efforts to help the poor and downtrodden.
Tarheel Baptist said:"What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, ?Go in peace, be warmed and filled,? without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead."

In the context of the book, particularly the first two chapters, what sort of "works" do you think Jimmy had in mind?
Could mean that, could also mean Matthew 25:35-40, which could also mean Isaiah 1:17 "Learn to do right; seek justice.Tarheel Baptist said:NorrinRadd said:Tarheel Baptist said:"What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works?

Depends on what you think poorly clothed and lacking daily food might mean. To me it seems pretty obvious.
