I put it on my shelf to deal with later. I believe hope and I believe in the unseen world. Ultimately I choose to believe. I believe in most near death experiences. I believe in an ultimate justice. At least right now, I feel like the Brethren share that belief with me.

I'm going to pray that the motive for this attack wasn't merely because of the victim's skin color.
Now, there's no scenario whatsoever that makes any of this okay, BUT I submit that the video simply started too late for us to know what the motive behind this was.
"Finally, for your rather strange idea that miracles are somehow linked to the amount of gay sexual gratification that is taking place would require that primitive Christianity was launched by gay sex, would it not?"

So,the black man could see a whole group of white people (the shirtless on the street kind if I recall rightly). And as you said, this black man could also see and hear that they had a fierce pit bull straining at the least to get at him. So far, we agree.
But despite that, you are convinced that the unarmed black man is likely to have chosen to pick a fight with a group like that? What motivation could he possibly have had? Suicide by redneck and pit bull?
Zadok: I did not have a faith crisis. I discovered that the Church was having a truth crisis. Maksutov: That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.

I don't know. If it were me, I probably would have ran rather than fight the pit bull, especially if I were unarmed. Why do you think he stayed and tried to fight?

If I'm kidding myself, I've found it very comforting. Ultimately I believe God sees and values my contributions in His church. I believe there will be justice in eternity. I believe there will be mercy and forgiveness for those who seek it. I believe we can be compensated for the abuse, bad luck, and mistreatment we endure in this life through the atonement of Jesus Christ. For me the KEP doesn't change that.

Sounds like the line ahead of you will be long, considering how just at this very moment there are at least 5 billion living folks who are already subject to greater abuse, bad luck, mistreatment and injustice on a daily basis than just about anyone within this country endures.

All things are possible for those that believe. Lines will be a thing of the past in the next world. It doesn't matter what situation you're born into. God can turn all things to work together for our good.

ROSEVILLE, Mich. (WXYZ) — Roseville Police returned to a neighborhood near Martin Road and Gratiot Avenue Thursday to investigate several fights that took place Wednesday on the street.
One of the fights included a 19-year-old man releasing a dog to attack a man his 32-year-old stepfather was fighting.
William Lafave said his stepson released his dog to attack the man because someone said the man he was confronting had pulled out a knife.
"That's why the dog was let go and the dog did his job to make sure he protected me from getting stabbed by the individual," said Lafave.
The 20-year-old man who was attacked by the dog is recovering from multiple bite wounds. He went to a hospital and received stitches and was given a tetanus shot.
He told 7 Action News that he never had a knife or any weapon when Lafave confronted him.
Action News talked to three other people who said they witnessed the frightening dog attack on the man, and all three said the young man did not have a knife and they said Lafave threw the first punch.
The fights stem from an ongoing dispute over two teenagers who are seeing each other. Angry words were exchanged on social media and tempers exploded when some teens went to Lafave's home to confront his stepson.
On cell phone video, the teens can be heard saying that the stepson invited them over for a fight.
A 17-year-old boy said Lafave threw the first punch at him. Lafave said he was protecting his family.
Then, down the street, another fight broke out involving friends of both Lafave and the 17-year-old.
As word spread that police were on the way, some of the crowd scattered, but Lafave can be seen on cell phone video confronting the 20-year-old who remained on the sidewalk.
The 20-year-old said he hadn't been involved in any fights and some witnesses believe Lafave's ego had been bruised from the earlier fight and he took his anger out on the 20-year-old because he walked up with them.
Roseville Police said after they conclude their investigation, a determination will be made related to what charges will be sought.

Enquiring minds want to know more details. Love. Hate. Conflict. Race. Poverty. This is a real Romeo and Juliet situation. Who are the Roseville Capulets? Who are the star-crossed lovers? Is the young Black man our Othello? WE MUST KNOW MORE.
