- Should Christians support Black Lives Matter? What does this organization stand for and represent? Should we say black lives matter or all lives matter? This has become a divisive issue in our country and one that needs to be address from a Christian perspective. In this video we will discuss whether Christians should stand behind the Black Lives Matter organization and whether there is a difference between the organization and its cause.

Hey BEAT family, today's topic is a controversial one that has been in hot debate for some time. People feel very strongly about this topic. I pray you watch the entire video before commenting and providing input as you may be surprised at what I'm sharing in this video. I hope you find this helpful and I also ask that you share this with others who may be asking the same question.
i pray to the Father in Jesus name that u read this message, please pray about making an obama video. time is of the essence, God bless u my brotha
I have seen so many Christians and churches support the organisation and make donations and it makes me so sad because it goes against logic and also the Christian values. I am so relieved that you are smart enough to go through the facts and not just the emotion going around with the matter. God bless you for spreading the truth forwards to other Christians. 💗
CZcams is censoring me. Black Lives Matter is a Marxist movement, they do not care about Black people, they were founded to spread homosexuality in the black community. They use Black people shields so that they can call their enemies racist.. and meaning no offense, but there are more white people killed by police officers annually then there are any other race. But nobody cares when that happens so there is no outcry.
Yes! Thank you Allen.
ALL SOULS MATTER
There is no separation! You either stand in Christ or fall with the world.
Signed,
A BLACK woman.
Yes! Say that louder for the people in the back!
@@shariceornah 🗣🗣🗣
Amen.

Way to go!
Perfectly said @DanielleDaniels!
I'm a Christian and I just learned so many unknown facts about this organisation. Thank you brother.
Thank you Pastor. I learned a lot from this teaching. I've never supported this organization and I never will. I agree wholeheartedly in that we as believers should uphold the sanctity of life for all regardless of race.
I suggest listening to rush limbaugh and watch one america news to learn a lot.
Driving Guy Idaho amen. I listen to Rush and I trust him more than Fox and CNN
i don't believe in God
@@goku4lacattah965 😥 Well he believes in you. He's seen your life from start to finish. Pride and ego are self destructive. I encourage you to pick up a bible. Especially read Matthew,Mark Luke and John and ask the holy spirit to reveal the truth to you and and he will.
Parr, I think your explanation was the best I’ve ever heard. Thank you for clarifying that in a biblical sense.
My husband (also an Allen) and I appreciate this Christian outlook on BLM. Thank you, praying for your ministry Pastor Allen!
CHRIST OVER CULTURE! Amen!
The Bible says: “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil.” God has not changed. His standards have not been lowered. God still calls immorality a sin, and the Bible says God is going to judge it.

Yes He is

We sure must not know much about the signers of the Declaration of Independence and what they did.
Hint .. 41 out of 56 of them owned, bought and sold people, worked then for free until the day they died and sexually exploited them for profit and pleasure but let’s talk about family values
@@noble604 I bet if you were alive back then, you would have a slave too. In fact I would bet you would have fought and killed native Americans. And if you and I were there we would have even killed Jesus. We are humans and we suck. Get used to it and maybe get better.
"If Christ doesn't matter, Than we are doomed to believe nothing matters."
Bingo! 🔥
Preach!
I will say that someone should be able to say "all lives matter" without being called racist.
Likewise, someone should be able to say "Black lives matter" without being called racist.
@@curtisthomas2670 I agree, and someone should be able to say "white lives mater" without being called racist.
@@Doris1888 all true
Absolutely. All these phrases are valid and true! There are times I cringe at hearing some of these phrases, and it’s things like the timing and context (and other things obviously like tone of voice, audience, etc) that determine whether it’s “racist,” or tasteful, or whatever.
@@Doris1888 when you call the fire department, they don’t respond “all houses matter” BLM is a 911 call. Please don’t minimize it by saying all lives. Of course all lives. But the emergency is with the black folks getting killed by police right now.
We need more voices like yours brother. GOD bless you and your family.
Yes brother or sister
100% Correct! Thank you brother that you stand behind Christ our Lord and his Words first and foremost,God bless you 🙏🏽
I don’t need a slogan to know that my life matters.

Color of skin wasn’t mentioned ❤️
Amen
When you bring race and color up in the church you're not speaking from the Bible anymore You're being manipulated by the deceiver Satan
@robert nance Satan wants to divide us with race color classism sexism you can't control the way people think You can only control the way you think and we have to think more like Christ
@robert nance how come Jesus disciples didn't intervene when Jesus was getting crucified, as Christians we are called to preach the gospel and plus not all white people are racist not all black people are thugs not all Mexicans are rapist
@robert nance do you tell gang members to stop killing innocent people do you tell rapist to stop raping women, as Christians it's not our job to condemn other people Jesus said we have to fix ourselves before we can fix anybody else I teach my kids to Love your enemies pray for them do good for them only God can change the person's heart not us
Thank you for this! You mentioned that BLM is opposed to traditional families. Our family has been torn apart by the BLM organization and their theses. My daughter who is adopted, is black, and we, her parents, are white. Our daughter now calls us racist and she wants nothing to do with us. She claims that we even adopted her because we are racist! 😢 BLM has damaged her spiritual thinking and her life is a disaster, which she now blames on us. It has been heartbreaking.
The Organization NO...But The Statement YES!!!
precisely!
Exactly
Yes!
100%
Absolutely!
It was nice to hear a black Christian pastor’s take on this subject.
If he is a true pastor, he can't take sides. Just go against it when ever or where ever it goes against d set family structure that God established..
@@josecal1203 as a pastor he absolutely has to take a side. God is not pragmatic. If it's not in God's will then Christians are to stay very far away from it.
@@immortallegend648 pardon me but seem that u did not under me or I didn't detailed what I meant that he can't take sides...& this is what I meant:: he can't take sides on d homosexuality issue. God condemn that sin of course that does not mean that they can not b saved providing that they change their habits completely. .. if he is a pastor of God, he will do God's will & pratice God's law or live d word of God so he can't side with that group of pple. . GOD bless u u always
jose Cal He has to take Scripture’s side, as every Christian should. #blm, the movement is demonic.
@@frankpichardo5299 I agree with u... but not all pastors will do that. Those that r not true pastors, who r only there to make money because those movements can offer money to go in ..
My brother, your message blew my mind. Thank you so much for exposing BLM and then explaining the slogan and it’s complexities in simple terms. I would go even further and state, that African American babies that are terminated in the most safest place (the womb) also matter! Again thank you so kindly for this message
Thank you for making this. I believe God sent me here. To open my eyes I will do research and pray before joining anything.
Don’t support Black Lives Matter, support black lives and let us know that we matter! (Also other colored people) let’s all love each other! ❤️
To clear any confusion, because apparently people are confused about what I wrote. I’ll say this a different way and hopefully people will read the original post and understand I repeat SUPPORT BLACK LIVES AS WELL AS OTHER COLORED PEOPLE ( as it relates to this topic) BUT I ALSO SAID lets ALLLLL love each other meaning everyone. If anyone wants to take their own interpretation then go right ahead with that decision I’m just clarifying what I was saying in the text.
Yall do matter and always had and always will.
But some people in the BLM Dont believe this. Their so focused on the negative parts and refuse to litsen to the positive side of the good things that has happened with black in are history and are present day Country
How?
This conversation is more of the same of these discussions here - as a Christian, don’t listen to this preacher because he/she has spoken “unbiblical” error, don’t sing that type of Christian music because it’s not “fully godly,” don’t listen to, don’t watch .. what are the solutions and alternatives? I think we’ve pretty much covered every “Don’t” we can think of by now with all the things “Christians” “should not” engage in, so while we sit and do nothing here “in Christ” and point our finger and pick and dissect and discuss it to death, what “should” we be doing? What’s the plan?
Noble Read your Bible. Everything you need to know is in there.
If the answer to the question was “go read your Boble,” this channel wouldn’t exis as there would be no reason for you and I to be on it. So..
My question is what do you propose people do concerning this, again?
No, read their “mission statement” it’s PATENTLY ANTI-Christian
Do you have a link? I am searching their site, but cannot find it. :/
That Part
Or you can watch Patrice Colours perform Satanic hexes on video. Maybe not on CCP tube tho. Im just here to clown pathetic psycho losers.
@@haroldsmith7148 Yea I found out. They openly talked about summoning spirits and working through them in a zoom interview/talk.
YES!!! I learned what lies beneath from John MacArthur.
Thanks for speaking the truth my brother. We need more people unafraid of people who spew so much hate. God Bless
I really appreciate this thorough explanation from a Christ-follower who is also black. I often feel like I don't have the authority to speak on these issues, but it is so helpful to be able to reference others such as Allen, as to what I believe and follow as a follower of Christ. Thank you!!
Nick don't drink the marxist coolaide. Marx was a fat lazy troublemaker. Our nation has freedom of speech and expression and despite our 2nd grade media political correctness all shades have a right to comment on issues. All are one in christ and their is no such thing as a white person. FACT.
You’re a good speaker, and appear to be a good man and a Christian. But I must disagree about the origin of the phrase. “Black lives matter” is like the term “pro choice” and “gay rights” etc. They all have Marxist roots that are meant to destabilize our culture (not black or white culture, but American, Judeo-Christian, free market culture).
These slogans always have two meanings, like “feminism”, everyone wants equal rights for women, but the feminists want something more. However, if you speak out against these movements, the activists will simply pull out the more benign meaning and use it to squelch open discussion and to protect the more insidious meaning behind the phrase.
If I speak out against BLM, it’s easy to call me a racist and silence my voice. If I speak out against abortion, I’m just a sexist who hates women. None of these allegations would be true, but that wouldn’t matter, I will be marginalized and silenced, and the agenda will proceed.
I hope PARR will listen to you. I AGREE WITH YOU> Your explanation is BIBLICAL and unfortunately, his was not researched enough nor does it align with Scriptures. Thanks for your wisdom.
Jey Kent - amen
Very well said.
Absolutely agree!
Another right-wing nut.
I need a CHRIST OVER CULTURE SHIRT
Frrr
I'll take one!
Yes!!!
Yes! Click the link in the description of the video to get your shirt! Look for MERCHANDISE and click it!
I want one to!!
Thank you for making this. This is a very good way to explain this to a generation that doesn’t get it.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Your life matters so much!!!!!!
Did anyone say it doesn't?
I'm still waiting on someone to prove to me that there are more than two genders
wdym? 🥺
There are only two sexes: female and male. Gender is not the same thing as sex. Gender is tied to society and culture norms. Nonetheless, even if people transition or do whatever they are trying to do...there are sill only biologically two sexes. The only time this would be different is with a person who is intersex. There are people born with both female and male parts. Usually, the parents will decide what they want the child to be and the doctor takes care of things based on that decision. That's a different situation than someone who decides as a teenager they all of a sudden want to live their life as the opposite sex.
Me too....
That'll never happen because transgenders can only choose from the 2...smh Lord🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
😂😂😂😂
This man has a gift! Explained in a simplistic manner BLM in just a few minutes. Still confused then I don't know what to tell you. A world wide press conference should be held with him as the speaker. May God continue to pour into this ministry. The world needs more of him. Thank you for the clarification although I was never a participant of the BLM movement. Now I have facts as to why I never can be.
Great idea!
totally agree with you!! Gifted speaker to clearly present the issues and our need to love as Christ.
Yes, God does use him mightily. I take many of my pointers from his ministry
I wish I could 💜💜💜💜💜💜this
Nadia M Amen
I was wondering the same thing! I’m just glad you brought up this issue and I totally agree with you!
So many are learning, including myself,from what you're teaching,and I'm so grateful I ran across this. Thank you.
The true injustice is being completely omitted: the most victimized group today are the children in the womb. Millions each year in our world
Black women and children are targeted by planned parenthood. Look up statistics on abortion. So sad!! This is why the black population has not seen the growth other demographics have. Let the babies live, support the families!
Don’t understand how anyone can call themselves a Christian and vote Democrat. Democrats are for abortions. That alone is enough reason NOT to vote for a democrat. God has the last word and woo to the ones that have killed his babies.
janet edmonds umm by that logic what has any republican president done since roe v wade to repeal abortion. I don’t support abortion in any form, but it’s unwise to base your vote on one issue alone when neither party has done work to repeal it (abortion); successfully repeal it, since its inception. Christians need to have discernment and not base their vote solely on 1 issue
Romell Graves I’m sorry but I totally disagree with you. When you stand before God on your judgment day you can tell that to him. If a person calls themselves a Christian and Don’t believe what the Bible says about KILLING innocent babies then still votes democrat, you are in my opinion a hypocrite!!!! And woo to you on judgement day!!!!! Read the BIBLE. It’s basic instructions before leaving earth 🌍 Any question we have about what God thinks. It’s in there.

@@thebeatagp lols right
Proverbs 18:13 He who answers a matter before he hears it, it is folly and shame to him.
Because many of us already know the answer is no. The way the title is worded is enough to insinuate that it is the organization it is referring to.
I’m glad someone finally said this. I’ve been saying similar things, but to see this on a larger scale is awesome. Thank you, Allen!
WOW, so well done. Biblically correct. You do such a great job at helping people understand. God bless you for all you do.
I believe that we are all created equal in the eyes of the Lord
Well unfortunately people of this world don't believe that including Christians so that is something we have to fix
Me too. But nobody said we weren’t
Me too. Skin color or no skin color, we are all one human race, all created to worship, serve, and live to please the Almighty God. I wish we’d all recognize that fact. That way, this whole white-privilege, black-power, everybody against everybody else competition wouldn’t be a thing. The only one that has all power is the One whose desire is for all humanity to be reconciled to Him.
If we can only get some men to act correctly upon Gods word.
@Straight Arrow God doesn't see our physical attributes he only sees our souls,
Satan and his fallen angels are absolutely still on earth and active, otherwise there would be NO pain or misery since Jesus's death and there definitely still is, that's why that 8yr old acts like that, the influence of the devil. Peter said the devil is like a roaring lion walking about, (1 peter 5:8) why would he say that if the devil is gone
So get off your high horse and join reality with the rest of us
Like usual, you explained this so well and from a CHRISTIAN focus. Very thankful for your voice and ministry!
Amen. Agreed.
He turned the subject racist with his very selective "facts"-- I've lost all respect for the man.
My autistic brother who is a Christian made a post about how he believed all lives do matter to the Lord. He was verbally assaulted and actually called a racist by BLM supporters. My little brother is in no way shape or form a racist. He is actually the type of person who will befriend any type of person.
I agree with everything you said in this video! I’m so very thankful for your videos! All lives truly matter.
I’m autistic too
I love it! Your is the first minister I've heard that voice Christ over culture. I have always felt I being a Christian woman was more important then being a black woman and I have gotten some strange looks when I said it. I never stopped believing it I just stop sharing. I just found your page and I can't wait to hear what other things you have to share.
Let's not support BLM, but let's also not turn an eye to oppression and unfair treatment that is going on bc of race and prejudice.
Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What oppression? You have more black millionaires in America then ever before and there is a black quarterback in the NFL that just signed a 10-year deal worth 503 million dollars. Look on social media especially CZcams and you see black males and women making millions off of CZcams videos and even thousands. Where is the oppression? The only oppression is sin and the decisions a person makes
If it's in the Word Then it's in the word So you seem to be suggesting that money sets a person free? I think not. Our only freedom is in Christ. If you had said there are more and more black Christians I could understand your freedom from oppression comment, but money will never set one free. And that’s in the Word!
Point it out and I'll stand by you...
@@itsintheword230 now this is a comment that deserves an AMEN.
As a Christian, Jesus Christ matters...and the same goes for ALL lives regardless of ethnicity. BLM is too liberal-minded. Thanks Allen.
#jesusmatters
BLM is necessary!!! Jesus Christ is Lord absolutely but your Country has issues and Evangelicals won't stand up for Black People
Lloyd Francis Everyone agreed on George Floyd. Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin were no choir boys, even Obama’s Justice Department said so.
Urban Hymns so they deserved to die is what you’re saying?
This guy obviously didn’t deserve to die. He just killed three people and ran toward the police and the police ran away from him

Well done my Brother. Well explained and succinct.
Thank you so much for this video. As always very well put and it was posted on my birthday. What a great gift. Many blessings to you and yours.
My parents taught me that God is no respector of persons. In other words no one is more important than another. God looks at the content of a man's heart not skin color. Who am I to be above God? We are all humans whether black, asian, Latin, white, we all bleed the same, hurt the same, laugh, cry, etc. Jesus died for all not just a select group. This pastor, this brother in Christ is correct and more people need to hear his message.
AMEN
@Daniel Carlton:
You were taught the TRUTH, Yet "THAT",
in GOD's EYES is NOT THE ISSUE:
The ISSUE is what YOU were taught is NOT THE REALITY in ACTION in YOUR NATION [AMERICA]
& GOD wants to know by SEEING, WHAT are "YOU" going to *DO* about that?
You are COMMANDED to LOVE your NEIGHBOR. But even as the "Good Samaritan Parable was used as CHRIST JESUS' own example of this, You so-called "Christians" [Conservative & Apathetic] are paying only "womanly" LIP SERVICE. Oh you just LOVE LOVE LOVE, & yet it is ONLY an EMPTY USELESS EMOTION-nurturing RHETORIC with NO SUBSTANCE. Thus, to HELL you GO!
MEAN-TIME "Black Males like ME" Women & Children as well, are STILL BEING GOVERNMENT EXECUTED [Without ANY Due Process, TORTURED to DEATH in front of the ENTIRE WORLD & yet the THUG gets to go HOME to Supper afterwards
Kids: fool "yourselves" if you will, but you CANNOT fool GOD & HIS CHRIST. Your LIPS honor Him while your HEARTS of REAL ACTION are FAR from Him. IT was WRITTEN in THE WORD about You people
Loving your Neighbor as if YOUR OWN, requires ACTION [even as the GOOD SAMARITAN PARABLE "Shows" us. The Samaritan was HATED by the RELIGIOUS "in CROWD" [just as LGBTQIA+ people are] & yet "he" TOOK ACTION to HELP [Personally] when the other RELIGIOUS & HOLY FOLK went AROUND the Problem...even as YOU "Christians" do when you are "conservative". Your VILIFY those who are on the FRONT LINES, getting BEAT, Tear Gased & some DYING, so that "I" as their Black Male & Families might have the REALITY of LIFE, Liberty, Personal Happiness "&" JUSTICE for ALL. What do YOU do? You make TANGENT Conversations design by Satan to throw focus of the Call for us to LIVE without GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, Murdering us in our homes & every where else with IMPUNITY & "your" APATHEDIC Blessing. You PRAY PRAY & PRAY. But GOD knows your APETHIDEC HEART. GOD want you UP OFF your "Geesusa Geesusera" Knees with VAIN Prayers & "BE" HIS Instrument ANSWER "to" them! GOD uses PEOPLE to Execute HIS WILL
Instead of making Religious EXCEUSES [Like the EVIL Religiuos Folk [wagging their head & SAYING Mr. Floyd "O how Horrible" "it was just Wrong" ..just before returning to "BUSINESS AS USUAL APATHY"...AGAIN....& AGAIN.... who passed by & DID NOTHING] ...mere Excuses for NOT joining the fight, why don't you LEND A *Samritan-HAND* to a Movement that is HELPING your Abused & DYING Black NEIGHBOR--Like that Samaritan?
And FORGET about What "their" Parallel Movement/Agen"der" is all about! You can PROVE "Black Lives Matter" WITHOUT going through "Marxist, Pro-LGBTQIA+, Women rule Agendas of the LEFT...They do NOT OWN a PATENT on "Black Lives Matter" Slogan. You just want EXCUSES to return to the SIN of your fore-fathers DNA...namely GREAT- APATHY & BUSINEES [such as Slavery & Jim Crow] as USUAL, while we continue to DIE & Be Government Official TORTURED to DEATH! Like your CON-DNA ALWAYS DOES! Generation after Generation.
Does NOT MATTER much what you have been VERBALLY TAUGHT...You must PROVE IT is INSIDE in your HEART .... to GOD & MAN with your ACTIONS! Talk is CHEAP & DRIPPING with LIES!
What a great upbringing you had!
"ETERNAL LIVES MATTER"
Not talking about eternal life matters, because we as Christians already know that. I know that, but that's so ironic to compare the 2.....don't twist the words.
So true my brother
Right! Which stands for ALL LIVES MATTER!
I like that
Much more powerful
This is such an incredible video. Thank you for explaining and speaking so much truth!!
Wow. You summed this up so well! Thank you for clarity.
Being a black person I dont agree with the saying or movement. The men used in the example of being killed by the police were complicit in the acts that resulted in their deaths. The fact that thos Pastor does not take into account that most of the men were in the act of a violent crime and resisted arrest is completely dishonest. All of the examples were completely dishonest. In example: if a house is on fire the surrounding houses are doused with water as to not catch on fire as well.
Wow. I didn't think of that. So true. But yes I agree. I think he kind of at the very least over looked some pretty basic facts while discussing this issue.
I agree with this statement. There were a lot of things not taken into consideration to paint a complete story.
Makes me wonder if he went back and studied the cases one by one, saw the lies, and finished his research. Statistics show the targetting of unarmed blacks is not true. Very few unarmed blacks killed by police.
Floyd ?
Do the names George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tamir Rice, Eric Gardner, Amaud Arbery mean anything? WAKE UP CHRISTIANS
I think you should talk about how two BLM founders just admitted to being “trained Marxist.”
@@veronicagrave159, I been knew the founders were lesbians and Marxist since last year. But witch craft??? I'm gonna check that out! 🤔💻

@Rice Krispy it's a socialist
@Rice Krispy thanks for reminding me about that I changed it as I've gotten closer to God the things in tv feel different than how they used to before I was saved
I love listening to you! Down to earth, biblical teaching. Hard to find this anymore. Thank you, Mr. Parr!!
Allen, I so appreciate your wisdom and teaching! Thank you!
*NO.* Not entirely because they don’t stand for righteousness.
Jesus is the truth
BLM is using the Black community ! The two founders are self-declared "Marxists. They are attracting the hatred of whites down on them in order to start a war !!
TOMAS You have a persecution complex.
You you don't think black lives matter?
@@exaucemayunga22 Don't support the organization. The phrase is fine.
I don't agree with defunding Police Organization.
I don’t support that either. I say punish the ones who misuse their authority, however uplift and respect those who help uphold the law.
I think that police need more training to avoid situations where they have to kill. Defunding the police is perhaps one of the most stupid things I've ever heard about. However, reform is needed so that the system doesn't protect them from justice. A hairdresser needs around 800-900 hours of training, a policeman only needs around 200-300.
Karys Vost - Absolutely, I totally agree! They also need to do more to vet out corrupt officers and better enforce zero-tolerance policies for law enforcers who abuse their authority.
Overall though, no matter how many “solutions” we come up with, the truth is, we need to turn back to God. Jesus is the answer to any and every problem. If the world honored God and followed God’s righteous statutes, we wouldn’t have these problems. Do I think we’ll see that happen....sadly, I don’t. But, those of us who are in Jesus Christ have a blessed hope. These times are for told in the Bible, and we know that our redemption draws near.
@@JohnThreeSixteen7373 exactly
I think defund really means reallocate an I am all for it. The LAPD budget is $1.86 billion for the year 2020 which is too much and could be used to help LA’s growing homelessness problem and other issues.
Thank you so much for your unbiased opinion and for stating the facts!
Great explanation! I completely agree. Continue to do the work of the ministry and may God continue to bless you and your family
They need a new slogan then. Until the slogan is disentangled from the organization, you will continue to have people not get onboard with the slogan.
The slogan is fine. The majority of people have no idea BLM is an actual organization.
The slogan is not fine because most people are aware of what the organization is about now..I don't want the BLM movement to be tainted by the anti-Christian values of the BLM organization. Change the name..Equal Rights Now....Justice for All...something
Yeah exactly that’s the sad reality.
Serritha H The only reason we’re arguing about a secular slogan is because the American church is so ineffective at pursuing justice that we have to let others stand up for what’s right .
@MyPlace ToBelong That will happen when everyone is seen as equal...but until then ALL lives don't matter.
I agree with everything you stated Sir. I believe the initial intent was agreeable but then it turned demonic and divisive. I can't get down with it. Any organization that's in favor of emasculating men, and supporting the very things that God says is wrong, it's a "No" for me dawg! Stand up for what's right in the sight of God is what we need to turn our focus on no matter the race of the life.
This was literally the perfect video for me to watch today! I was telling my fiancé earlier, I just still didn’t know how to think about the BLM movement and as a Christian if this was something I was suppose to support or not; due to so much controversy and some of the riots and events that have took place in the past couple months. I felt as every life mattered no matter your skin but I agree now the organization itself should not be supported by Christians.
This is brilliant, thank you Allen. I would've put this in very similar terms.
I could just give you a social distance hug Mr.Parr. God bless you. You’re the type of teacher I’d want to have.
He is pretty amazing
Ty ty the christian guy. Christ! Christ! Christ! Im sorry i had to. Your name made me smile super big.
Jesus did not socially distance himself from leper’s . Neither should we distance ourselves the way this new agenda is having us distance ourselves.
Boy! You stepped on some feet with this one!!!! Love it!
Yes he stepped on the feet of those who love the truth, maybe you should do a little research yourself sister, I pray God blesses you with some discernment 🙏
@@garethmccartan3636 you didn’t watch the video.
Well said sir. Thank you for your dialogue on this issue. It really helped me put my thoughts/emotions into perspective
This is my first comment on a CZcams video. I have recently subscribed to your channel. I really appreciate your apologetics. I have a greed with pretty much all of your views and theology. You have actually inspired me to look into starting a channel myself.
The problem is that there is no differentiation between BLM, the organization and BLM, the slogan. There should be a different slogan to voice our support of black lives without consequently supporting the organization.
YES
I agree with you that as there is a difference between the BLM Marxist organization, & those who are just wanting to voice their support of black lives. I think at the beginning there were many who were in support of the slogan BLM because of what happened with Floyd. However, when they saw the destruction and looting which was being done back then, as opposed to the marxist organization that is continuing to damage people's lives, you saw that support lift as people began to realize that the blacks were behaving no better than the cop they were accusing of being racist, even tho' they had no proof of such. M.L.King was a highly respected man of character, and I believe he knew that violence was not the way to more forward. His protests were peaceful, & without crime. Again I will say, BLM has lost the respect of those who at the beginning were honestly trying to show their concern. One will never win over people when violence and destruction is involved. In fact, it's a sure way to lose those whose respect they were trying to gain in the first place. It might have been better to protest Police Brutality, rather than trying to turn this into a racial issue. No one but Chauvin knows if he's a racist or not, or if racism had anything to do with the Floyd killing.
Actually there is. I live outside America and the only thing I hear is the slogan. I don’t know of any organization and this is true for most. Given all the horrible things I see police do to black people littered all over social media and the injustice that follows, I have come to agree with the slogan completely and quite frankly see anyone who disagrees as a demon in human skin.
There is a difference. People who refuse to acknowledge the difference are often just trying to write off that, politics aside, racism is still a problem.
The slogan was actually created by the founders of the organization.
I don’t follow black lives matter, however, I do have a T-shirt that say, “Black Fathers Matter”🤷🏽♂️. My reaction to that is simply because most of us grew up with out a father. My wife don’t really like me wearing it. She’s afraid that someone would do something to me. She understands my reasoning behind it, but others don’t. My wife is white, so I understand her fear for my safety. I don’t wear it any more, just to keep her mind at peace.
You are right on. God bless you.
I wear my Trump hat for the sake of our future.. not the silent majority anymore..
So you don't care about black women at all?
@@korykent5645 Maybe he means father's in the home? but idk...
@Straight Arrow Well I'm not a Hebrew man so that's irrelevant. And I didn't ask that because of his white wife, but black men have a pattern of centering things on themselves and always removing the black woman. Why isn't "black lives matter" enough? Why center it on "fathers"/men? And yes with the white wife he just HAD to mention, it does come across as him actively erasing black women, very strange.....
thank you for rounding out my new quest to reenter christian life, many questions and concerns, I believe you have helped me with other topics as well, have charismatic friends, friends of all colors, keep doing what you do, your energy is appreciated
You couldn't have said it any better! Thank you!
NO, too many Christians are getting too involved with secular issue's. I wholeheartedly believe we need more Christians in politics, if that's their gift. However, Christ gave the command to go out and make disciples in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them as I have taught you. I'm not saying you can't do both. Let's not lose sight of what the top priority is, God first !
Exactly. Well said, Lisa. And unfortunately if we use this three-letter phrase, immediately people think we are identifying with this secular movement, when we should not be. It is not furthering the gospel. As a pastor myself, I can't agree with this pastor's stance.
Your view is incompassionate, judge mental and self-righteous and only your opinion.
@David Alexis Can you give an example of where Paul says this? I am asking an honest question. My wife and I were discussing this today and trying to weigh how scripture tells us we should respond. Thanks.
Im a middle aged Christian white male. You are a very wise man. Thank you for making this video.
Thank you for this video brother! Definitely need GOD’S people to wake up to the realities of organizations and political groups.
Thank you for breaking this into simple terms that people will hopefully understand.
This helps. I had been struggling with these thoughts as a Christian. Because of course, in God’s eyes all lives matter. But when you separate the phrase from the organization, it helps to make it clearer.
I support what matters to God and He is specific when He says, He loves all nations, tribes and tongues, period! Yes there are evil, racist people in this day and age but someone who is racist has HATE in their heart. It’s not a skin issue, it’s a heart issue. God created us all equally in His eyes but the devil wants to divide humanity.
EXACTLY!
You are right. It’s not a SKIN color issue it’s a SIN issue
Good education
Amen yes!!!
Loved the way You explained it. I agree with you totally. May God bless you to be a blessing to many🙏🏼
This was awesome ! We all need to see it !!
You’re truly gifted. I love all your videos and you have helped my relationship grow with Christ. Thank you!
Totally agree ! I’m concerned that certain “people” will use the organization as an excuse to sit idle and not act on racism and prejudices in this country, in our churches, in our workplaces and in our society. It seems to be that every time black people ban together to stand for injustice, there is a divide. I’m not for the organization, but I’ve been black all of my life and know there is still work to be done with blacks having equality across the board. We need a Christian blm group. The enemy knows that if I get them arguing about semantics, the real focus gets pushed to the side
I wish I could upvote your statement a thousand times.
The problem with having a group just for black people that suffer from injustice to me is unbiblical. If you have a group that is against injustice as a whole and happens to help more black people because they suffer from it more to me that makes sense. To say people of all races religions and gender don't suffer from injustice is kind of crazy. Saying black injustice matters more than other injustices is kinda racist in itself. I'm a black man that has suffered racism but have suffered much more hate and injustice from my own people. Does this mean those were ok because it wasn't racial? To me justice shouldn't have a color. Hate shouldn't have other names like racism, classism, sexism hate should just be hate. I believe Jesus would want an organization that stood up against all injustice and hate of any kind.
Apparently you havent heard of BLEXIT
@@davidlawrence8051 Well said. I am a black woman and have experience more injustice and hate at the hands of people of my race than from any other. What we as Christians should do is pursue Biblical justice so that wherever we see Satan and sin oppressing people, irrespective of skin color we must work to free people.
@@LG-wm1nw Exactly when we fight for justice in general we are doing out of love for God and his law. Of course out of love for the individual too but when we fight some injustice and ignore others I believe that's idolatry. Idolizing the group were fighting for over fighting all injustice like God says to do.
I thank you for this video. Everything you said is the way I felt but could have never explained it like you did. I will surely share this video with family and my church friends. Thank you God bless
Love your ministry, I’ve been binging a bunch of your videos. God has blessed you with wisdom.
Galatians 3:28
"28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave[a] nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." *We are all equal in the eyes of God*
Soul in Training If people trust in the word of God they are set free. Who the son sets free is free indeed. There is healing and deliverance... the love and freedom we have in Jesus Christ... that gives us victory... when we know our identity in Christ.... skin shouldn’t be a focus in any way.... we are the one making skin an issue. Our country is allowing skin to become bigger then God. These are demonic strongholds. We are free in Christ. We are one in Gods spirit.. so why do we even make it about skin.... it’s about sin. I don’t agree with using a term that is associated with the world to describe pain and suffering at the hands of unrepentant heart conditions. To make it about skin and not about sin.... is to continue to perpetuate the problem. Our God is bigger. As a white woman I have been abused by mostly woman... black and white woman... I don’t walk around saying my life matters to give me some sense of self importance... I know my life matters.. Jesus Christ died for my life. Jesus Christ is my strength and he gives me all I need. He gives me authority over all the lies of the enemy. I’m forgiven in him and I forgive and love others as he has forgiven and loved me. There is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. As a little kid when much different kind of abuse happened to me.... it was at the hands of evil.... as we do not wrestle against flesh and blood and anyone who is unrepentant... who is not walking with Christ... the Antichrist spirit is at work in the sons of disobedience. When all this began... the Lord gave me words of knowledge that skin color is an idol in peoples hearts and it is being used against us.... just as Jesus warned us it would be. This is a demonic stronghold in our country. If people repent and forgive as God has forgiven us and love as he loves us... we have Mercy on those we know are being controlled by sin and Satan... and we trust that God will deal with each one according to their deeds. Whether it be in this life or thereafter.... God will deal with them... and I trust his timing and his will his way and not my own. His ways are higher his thoughts higher. He is a Just God. God tells us to trust him to deliver us... Trust he will fight our battles. When we start taking matters into our own hands and separating ourselves based on skin.... we are doing what is contrary to his word and his spirit. His spirit does not have a color... and we are one in his spirit. The battle starts on our knees. And to say black lives or any other lives matter is to insinuate we don’t think someone matters. It is a statement that was made by the world... the heart is wicked above all else... who can know it. These worldly phrases have been admittedly used by some to make white ppl angry... so as we can see this is vindictive. We can speculate all the different reasons and intentions someone would use this statement.... and we can justify using it.... a statement that comes from the world that has absolutely nothing to do with Gods word whatsoever. Gods word is enough. He is worthy.
Gina Faithful For Such a Time as this 🙌🏼
Exactly if theres no Jew or Greek why would God want there to be a division with black and white. We have to learn to fight with love and forgiveness and God will avenge the black community
I hesitated listening to your message. I'm glad I did. I learned what this origination. Thank you!
Thank you for clearing that up. I had no idea what the slogan represented
This was so good. Thank you for sharing. So important thing.
This is subject on time! Allen you taught me a lot about God and I appreciate your work! You inspired me to create my channel 😊
God has given allen much wisdom
Antichrist Obama Exactly!
There needs to be a distancing of the sentiment “Black Lives Matter” and the organization BLM, they are to closely related so saying I don’t support BLM as a white male will label me as a racist unfortunately. As a Christian my Lord instructed me that each human life is sacred and racism is evil. Lastly, that cartoon should be taken to mind for all issues facing the black community, not just one issue of police shootings which is the only issue discussed when referring to that graphic. Right now police brutality is the only focus, that would be like trying to put out the house fire but only focusing on the front yard bushes. This issue may have been the spark but fatherless homes, community crime/murder, and other issues are the powder kegs. God is sovereign and everything evil or good moves us towards his return. Use these times to connect not divide, to spread the gospel not hate. “The Lord...not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9
I talked to a Hawaiian cop about a year ago here in the southeast who had been on the force 20 years..he was giving it up because of the harsh treatment received by the black community..getting racially slurred, attacked and so forth..this has been happening before the rodney king junk..all lives matter, not just black..
It's one thing to support a movement. It's another entirely different thing to support an issue. I do not support the BLM movement, but I support black lives.
@Bo Stephens You're assuming this brother has no fellowship with those outside his skin color. The people God has used to initially bring me to faith, disciple me, mentor me have all mostly been black and Latino. I feel forever indebted to them...AND I agree with his point. Believe me, I DO get the concept behind the phrase and agree with the idea that more urgency be placed on the person or group in need. I just think there's an insidious effort taking place behind the things we can actually see to hyper -inflate an issue in order to create a hero (that you, I, and all our brothers and sisters are not going to like) to come save the day...and that's when it's really going to impinge on the church and the freedoms we so cherish.
@@titaniumgreen5367 CAN WE ALL BAND TOGETHER AND AGREE TO DEAL WITH ALL HATE ? AFTER ALL THE WHOLE WORLD HAS BEGAN STARTING WITH ALL BLACK PEOPLE LIVES MATTER AND THAT'S JUST TO START EVERYONE IS INCLUDED.
Well said, praise the Lord! Thank you brother in Christ. The house illustration brought it home. Stay safe with Jesus and keep being a blessing family first with God. Shalom
Allen thank you for making this and clearing up the misconceptions that many have about the BLM movement. I'm in complete agreement that all Christians should take the time to pray and be informed before they take a side in an issue. Standing with you as one who puts God first and seeks after His truth, running to Him as the Author and finisher of my faith. Blessings, Michael
I totally agree, when I saw their comments on the website a month ago, i was disgusted by what the organisation stand for. Won't support the organisation but yes we have to say black lives matter as black lives do matter
All lives matter The human race
@@moniqueparks6132 did you watch the video?
God does not see color. So people should not be getting fired for saying all lives matter.
hell no. in the same way we shouldnt support abortion or adolf hitler
No matter what subject you are talking about, I am amazed at your wisdom and clarity of explanation of each topic! I always look forward to your videos and you tackle some unique subjects and I never walk away from your video and disagree with your presentation. Thank you and good day to you!
Thanks for this in-depth explanation. I knew there was more to the BLM movement than protecting black people from violence and injustice.
Thank you for the clarification between the organization Black Lives Matter and the idea of Black Lives Matter. As a Christian I truly support the idea of Black Lives Matter.
Jesus made it clear that all life matters when he died for the sins of the whole world
No one is saying that All lives don’t matter we’re saying black lives also matter because so many people are killing them as if they do not matter when God clearly states that all lives matter.
@@benitodamonkeybear9035 exactly.
Sheesh missed the point lol
Nope it looked like he only cared about the old world.
All lives don’t matter until Black lives matter.
Thank you so much for posting this; I hope it opens minds.
Another topic broke down to perfection 🙏🏿
My son, if sinners entice you,
do not consent.
If they say, “Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood;
let us ambush the innocent without reason;
like Sheol let us swallow them alive,
and whole, like those who go down to the pit;
we shall find all precious goods,
we shall fill our houses with plunder;
throw in your lot among us;
we will all have one purse”-
my son, do not walk in the way with them;
hold back your foot from their paths,
for their feet run to evil,
and they make haste to shed blood.
For in vain is a net spread
in the sight of any bird,
but these men lie in wait for their own blood;
they set an ambush for their own lives.
Such are the ways of everyone who is greedy for unjust gain;
it takes away the life of its possessors.
Proverbs 1: 10-19
djquiz6425 please explain in simple words I’m sorry I am a child, I need to understand what this means
This is a great response to this issue.
Amen
i think that’ll help
That shirt is soooo powerful! I need one! Great Job helping us fellow Christians discern what we should look at before we make decisions. God Bless You!
Thank you for your crystal clear explanation. God bless you abundantly.
God's truth matters! As Believers, my husband (a retired officer) and I appreciate how you spoke on this topic with such balance. You told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. I will be sharing this video with others. May God continue to bless your ministry and family!
This message is so indifferent. You can’t separate the movement from the organisation.
Using the hashtag and protesting is DIRECTLY supporting the organisations notoriety, finances and agenda regardless of your stance.
We must be wise and align ourselves with the word. We can’t afford to walk in ignorance....
Agree. Even in his example it’s impossible to say “Just Do It” without thinking of Nike.
Brother Allen, I have not ever been a supporter. The Lord wouldn’t let my heart partner with it. I pray God continue to use you, effectively in this capacity.
Same here, I’ve even uploaded videos about it on my channel.
You’re preaching truth, thank my brother in Christ. New subscriber. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
