As always, they miss the point.
Charlie Kirk's assassination is one of the clearest pictures of the death of Jesus, in modern affairs. Charlie Kirk was a sinner, saved by grace. But from every report I have seen, Charlie actually walked the walk, he didn't just talk the talk, as so many do. Of all the people who apply the label "Christian" to themselves, Charlie would be in the top 1% in terms of basic righteousness. There are 99 of us who deserve to be shot before a Charlie Kirk would deserve that. He's not innocent in the theological sense, before God, but he's an innocent in the civil sense, and a righteous and upright man. As believers, we hold that to be absent with the body is to present with the Lord. Charlie Kirk is in a much better place today, so his assassination was no loss to him, personally. But the costs, when they are all counted, are staggering beyond imagination. What has been done to Erika is the most cruel injustice imaginable, to have her truly idyllic family snatched from her just as she was starting out, to have her husband brutally shot and murdered right before her, and her children who, by the way, are so young that they will hardly remember Charlie, if at all. When the shot was fired, one of her children was trying to run to Charlie because they were scared of the loud sound from the gun.
The Left doubling down with this, "We should shoot Erika, too"-rhetoric goes to show that they are completely reprobate and beyond the pale. God alone knows the extent of his mercy and we do not know which of these people God has plans already to break their rebellion and bring them to true repentance in Jesus Christ. Nevertheless, words of this nature are surely straight from the pit of Hell itself: "The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself
set on fire by hell." (James 3:6)
This man was murdered in cold blood, not because "words are violence", but because
violence is violence, and violent men surrounded Charlie Kirk. "Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me." (Psalm 22:12) They surrounded him for exactly the same reasons that the Pharisees surrounded Jesus. People often forget that there were many attempts on Jesus's life before he was ultimately betrayed, arrested and crucified. Obviously, we give all glory to God that he made Charlie Kirk one of his sheep, and taught him to exemplify the teachings of Jesus as a beacon of light to a generation trapped in darkness. Nevertheless, Charlie Kirk himself deserves praise
for his exemplary obedience and devotion to God. Because of this, Charlie Kirk's death
is a martyr's death...
