Be careful messing with a godly man . . . | Eastern North Carolina Now

    As has long been exhibited, BCN is unequalled in its allowance of free speech by contributors to speak the truth as they know it, regardless of whether we agree with that speech; however, that speech must be rooted in some measure of truth, irrespective of the hyperbolic speech used to project it. When the truth of the issue is not forthcoming, that contributor will be relegated to this space, and will remain here until his understanding of the truth is more complete, and adequately revealed.

    Today has posts about some Fox News commentary on the announcement that Jimmy Carter has cancer. The stuff quoted in the video is more than vicious and insensitive.

    I find it tantamount to the warning my father, a lifetime and wise Baptist preacher, gave me upon telling him I felt a calling to preach: "Son, if you are true to your calling, you will have people who hate you and speak all manner of evil against you. That is OK. Just remember when God says, 'Vengeance is mine.' He means it. You never have to get revenge when God takes care of such in ways you would never imagine."

    To feel you have to get even is a dead end street. A great episode of "Amos 'n Andy" has Andy deciding to get even with the Kingfisher who was always trying to scam him. He proudly told Amos, "De next time de Kingfisher slaps me on de back and gloats as he tried to con me --- he gonna get a surprise!" With that he opened his jacket to reveal about a dozen sticks of dynamite strapped around his chest with a big trigger pad on his shoulder beneath the coat!

    Think on this image: If you have to have the revenge, you end it by blowing up yourself like a Terrorist in the process.

    Here is the post:

    The commentators are aghast that Fox News personnel would be more than callus over the announced cancer of former President Jimmy Carter. It is one thing to be a Conservative with a different opinion. It is quite another to be a brutal hard-hearted person who does not have a heart when a great man is dying . . .

“Vengeance is mine," saith the Lord ~~~ beware how you treat godly people on this earth. God is surely watching over his servants and does not take kindly to their abuse.

Beware of God’s vengeance
    Lest you think I am giving simple advice with no real proof of how God works, let me share a quick story of what happened when a bunch of crazy Baptists north of Atlanta fired me for buying ryegrass "without permission" and having the custodian plant it on bare clay banks so the parents picking up children at our daycare had a better view than eroded gullies and red clay drive . . .around a redneck church in the middle of white collar parents buying houses and joining by 2-3 families a Sunday.

    The leader of my slaughter had an eldest son married to the daughter of the Director of Missions who helped in the lynching. They had the first grandbaby for both families. The new mother came back from the birth and was taking a warm bath to help in the recovery. She, somehow fainted and went under the water and drowned---leaving both men and their families with a tragic consequence for their activities to fire me!

    Vengeance is MINE---saith the Lord . . . As for me and my house, we serve the Lord and go on with life as He leads us. It is not a laughing matter to mess with a godly man . . .
