Angry Blacks, Civil Rights & the Zimmerman Verdict
George Zimmerman was found not guilty by a jury of his peers in the death of Trayvon Martin.
Regardless of one’s opinion, that should be the end of it as a case both before the court and before the American people.
But it isn’t.
Our justice system worked, not because Zimmerman was found not guilty, but because a jury of his peers weighed the case and made a decision based on the law, and not on something else.
People are angry, and it’s not just blacks, it is also everyone who refuses to acknowledge God’s law as the ultimate authority in all things.
In fact, that is precisely why there has been such an outcry of violence in the form of protests, riots, murder and mischievousness in this country following the trial, and all of it has been done in the name – not of God and His glory – but in the name and honor of Trayvon Martin.
These are acts of idolatry.
You see brethren, the civil rights movement is not now, nor has it ever been, about equality or justice. Quite the opposite. Blacks and others who are angry about the Zimmerman verdict and who choose to riot, murder and cause acts of violence in their communities are not angry because justice was or was not done, they are angry because they did not get their way, and their way which they crave and lust after is power and control over others.
You see, law requires inequality. It always will. Punish evil, reward the good. Proponents of the civil rights movement absolutely hate that particular truth, or, at the very least, are lacking in knowledge of it.
Civil rights laws are nothing more than the attempt to dismiss God’s law and give power and control over non-blacks to blacks.
Violence over the Zimmerman case is not because America has not reached a place of racial justice. It is not because we, as a people, have failed to see our fellow human beings as equal.
It is not about equality, but power and control.
That is the goal of the civil rights movement, to hand control of one over another. That is the reason for angry blacks and others against every Caucasian soul innocently walking down the sidewalk who has been, and perhaps will be, attacked and maybe even killed over this verdict, all in the name of Trayvon Martin – and the sinfulness of men.
Those blacks who make up the majority of violent offenders perpetrating crimes over the Zimmerman verdict fail to recognize this truth: law that treats favorably blacks over whites or Hispanics, or vice-versa, ceases to be law in every sense.
Apart from the biblical truth that all men, apart from Christ, are guilty before God, law does not recognize equality. Not in Scripture, not in America. Neither the kingdom of God or of men.
The non-Biblical jury system worked THIS TIME–praise Yahweh! However!?!
“…Article 3’s provision for juries is yet another instance of the framers’ deciding they knew better than Yahweh. The Bible offers nothing that resembles a jury system…..
“Most Constitutionalists favor the jury system, provided jury nullification (a juror’s right to judge a law as unjust, oppressive, or inapplicable to any particular case) is in force. However, even if jury nullification were restored, juries would still render decisions based upon each jury’s collective standard of morality or immorality. “A jury drawn from the [Biblically] uninstructed population is no better equipped to administer the just requirements of God’s law than a corrupt judge.”35…. Although it might be argued that it only takes one juror to dissent and prevent a “railroad job,” most people lack the independence and resolution to resist the will of a majority. More often than not, today’s jurors reflect the type of people we are warned against in Exodus 23:
‘Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment.’ (Exodus 23:2)
“Juries produce, at best, erratic justice. Without Yahweh’s law as the standard, jury decisions are based upon the capricious morality of its members. Nothing demonstrates this better than Jesus’ trial by a jury of His peers with Pontius Pilate presiding. The prevailing immorality of the day demanded Jesus be crucified even though He was clearly innocent…
“The constitutional right of a trial by a jury of “impartial” peers is regarded by Americans – especially Christian Constitutionalists – as one of the last bulwarks against tyranny. If this is true, Yahweh (who is unquestionably a God of justice and liberty) would have included juries somewhere in His perfect law and righteous judgments. Surely, one of the reasons He did not provide for them is that juries (like elections) place government policy and juridical determinations in the hands of an unpredictable and unequally yoked public, the majority of whom are not Christian (Matthew 7:13)….”
