The assassination of Charlie Kirk is not about politics, democracy, free speech, a constitutional republic, communication skills, or the lack of love or respect for one another. It’s even greater than Charlie Kirk. It’s about the law of God which reflects the nature of God. God hates abortion, homosexuality, homosexual marriage, sex outside of binary marriage, and cross-dressing. God hates what America has become, and the lawless hate God back because He condemns their practices. They hate God and his law so much that they want to kill Him. Charlie Kirk was a messenger of God. Therefore, Charlie Kirk had to die!

My training in mathematics makes me get to the main point quickly. As a theonomist, I filter everything through the law of God. This article will be very short.

Note three things about Charlie Kirk.  First, Charlie Kirk physically went onto the college campuses to debate.  He did not debate from afar.  He did not do apologetics from the safety of his own home over the Internet.  He entered the gates of the enemy. He confronted the opposition face to face.  College campuses are hotbeds of Marxist ideology. He moved into their safe havens and crushed their arguments.

Secondly, Charlie Kirk did not really debate with the students or professors.  He shattered them with his knowledge and his biblical insight. The content of every challenger was systematically dismantled.

Thirdly, the assassination of Charlie Kirk is not about politics, democracy, free speech, a constitutional republic, communication skills, or the lack of love or respect for one another. It’s even greater than Charlie Kirk. It’s about the law of God which reflects the nature of God. God hates abortion, homosexuality, homosexual marriage, sex outside of binary marriage, and cross-dressing.
