"The person who sins will die. The son will not bear the punishment for the father's iniquity, nor will the father bear the punishment for the son's iniquity; the righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself." (Ezekiel 18:20)This is the power and the nature of grace. It supersedes all human meandering and mental gymnastics that uses guilt to get across a political view or to shift blame to the innocent. It is enough that we hate how George Floyd was treated and that we stand for serious reforms to end such behavior, but to carry guilt for something we did not do, is ridiculous and self-destructive. Sorry BLM we will listen respectfully to your rap, but we cannot be your scapegoats. You must see that when Jesus Christ gave us the following mandate, he failed to include a person's race. To wit:
"Therefore, all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." (Mt 7:12)
