Hello Christine, so enjoyed that To knee or not. I shook when I saw those images of police and some politicians mowing the knee. We really do need wisdom and we need to make sure we are not swept along with emotion, but to have full discernment of the times we are living in. Blessings Louisa.
Unfortunately, you all are so far off base and completely have NO comprehension of nor compassion for the true reason behind THIS kneel. You are making a blanket statement about the act of kneeling rather than understanding the reason, motive or the spirit behind the act. The scriptures you referenced have NOTHING to do with this issue. These acts of “Taking the knee” have NOTHING to do with worshipping ANYONE! During this fight against injustice, the police or any other authority figures taking the knee, in “this “ situation, is an olive branch extended NOT an act of worshipping anyone or anything. There is a time for everything…a time to LEARN. As Christians, please LEARN instead of presuming what is going on and why. The Word also instructs to “…get knowledge and in all your getting, get understanding.” I pray you do this.
The scriptures referenced in this video sanction kneeling and bowing to honour others but it does caution against forced submission to cower before protestors. In viral videos many protestors are chanting “kneel, kneel, kneel” to police in a militant way. THAT is an alarming image, as Louisa Dawson commented above. Can you not comprehend that?
As British Senior citizens we think that BLM rallies have done more to harm Race Relations in our country. Because of claims of Institutional Racism which seem unfounded. to us.
So called Peaceful demonstrations being hijacked by people there with there own agendas. Honest demonstrators themselves say “This is not us”.
Interviewed demonstrators claim lack of access to healthcare, education resources. Well they certainly don’t Live in my county. I was a voluntary Director of a Social housing Company which had strict values on Equality even to Board. members.
Graffiti sprayed on Statues of Public figures which have nothing to do with Race and comments about Winston Churchill by a black youth who said “He was only interested in the Empire not about people of Color”. Only goes to reinforce any negative stereotypes of Black people that those with Racist beliefs may hold.
We just watched a Sky TV Interview with a Black Arts Director and when the interview asked him what he thought about a new Cultural Revolution. He said “Well they had one of those in China didnt they in Chairman Mao’s day. Looked what happened there. The same Spirit is abroad.
Thank you for your insight!
I only kneel to the Lord Jesus Christ!

I have studied the Black Lives Matter movement. (BLM) and have listened to a number of opinions about BLM made by Christians of good testimony. The BLM spokesmen are not ashamed to declare their pro Marxist and Anti-Israel and anti-Jew stand. Also they “justify” chronic acts of violence. They are RACISTS themselves. I do not doubt that a good number of people joined BLM marches in public, with good and peaceful intentions. But their leaders are NOT peace-makers at all. They do not care 2 cents for the black people. They want to “use” them and promote anti white animosity. Like ANTIFA and others who support them.
