'This Is No House of God!' Black Lives Matter Activists Yell as They Harass Church in Upstate NY
2020-07-12
So ignorant. “Wherever two or more of you are gathered in My name.” It’s never been about the building, however beautiful the basilicas and cathedrals, or even the Temple in Jerusalem — twice built and twice destroyed.
[PJMEDIA] Amid nationwide riots following protests over the horrific police killing of George Floyd, Black Lives Matter activists harassed a Baptist church in Troy, N.Y., a suburb of Albany. Videos of the harassment went viral on Twitter, and the church confirmed to PJ Media that the harassment did, in fact, occur."On Sunday, June 28, the Marxist thugs screamed, chanted, harassed, blocked our steps from allowing people to enter the church, and then physically assaulted our church members," John Koletas, pastor of Grace Baptist Church, told PJ Media on Thursday.

The harassment did not end on Sunday, however. "On June 29, Monday evening, after asking to be allowed into our church services, as long as they behaved, I allowed 15-20 of these BLM Marxists to come into our church building accompanied by two or three Troy coppers," the pastor added. "After some preaching, singing, and an invitation to trust Christ, they left chanting and screaming vulgarities and obscenities on their way out."

Koletas dubbed the Black Lives Matter activists "Marxist thugs" because the leaders of the official Black Lives Matter movement have identified themselves as Marxist and have adopted a Marxist political platform. Americans of goodwill should all agree that black lives matter, but the official movement seeks to weaponize the righteous anger over the death of George Floyd to further its radical agenda.

Kevin Hodge and his identical twin, Keith, who perform as conservative comedians and podcasters, shared three video clips of the harassment on YouTube.

As a mother approaches the church building, activists shout at her, "Why are you bringing a baby into a church?!" Others chant, "This is no house of God," and "Save those kids!"

A second clip shows Black Lives Matter activists becoming more active, chanting, "Whose streets? Our streets!" and then punching a church leader.

The final clip shows Black Lives Matter activists leaving the church after the service on Monday. One man yells, "I’m not Christian, boy!" A woman shouts, "Get the f*** out of my face!" The usher responds, "Jesus loves you."

#6  The vibe I heard was it was a hit against the church because a prominent member(S)(perhaps these Hodge twins?) was/were critical and against the riots.

Classic tactic, made easier in this Age of Silica.

#3  Marxist thugs or adherents of Louie Farrakhan?

#2  Marxists, what do you expect.

You can get in the boxcars quietly, or you can fight. Why call upon God when he's already given you the means to do the work yourself.
