Martin Luther King, never died, he is just not here on earth at the present time. He has passed on to the eternal life. He is with the Almighty God, Jesus Christ, in Paradise. Martin Luther King is one of my mostly beloved persons I have learned about. Long live the Love Of Jesus for all humanity. Love from Athens, Greece.

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." - 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7

Love is not a word but action taken. MLK didn’t just preach about love but he actually lived it out in his life. Let’s be like MLK and put action where there is only talk. Love you enemies not with words but with acts.

The Bible says “Love your enemies”. I once took pictures of a girl whose name I don’t know (I’ll call her “Tina”). “Tina” came over and threw my phone to the ground. Question: In the context of that Bible passage, if I love “Tina”, can it be considered as “loving my enemy”? Premise of the Question: The premise of the question is that even though Tina breaking my phone wasn’t appropriate, I was the one who “started it” and at fault for taking pictures of her. The Bible says to love your enemies since it is harder to love enemies than friends. However, I was wondering if people who do something unkind to you are considered to be your “enemy” by God if you were the one who “started it”.

Dr. King was a Pastor. He preached out of Holy Scriptures. Seek God dilengently and keep reading our bibles and memorize our scriptures, because we are in the days that our bibles and churches are being taken away from us. Stand Up for your RELIGIOUS RIGHTS! Spread Gospel with Scriptures, Love and show them the Romans road to Salvation. I stay watching Pastor John Hagee in these times of Cornerstone Church of Ssn Antonio, Texas. Pray for our changing world, our enemies, and our President whether you like him or not, our scriptures says pray for our leaders. If we do not forgive those, that we believe are in wrong, How can GOD forgive us? God is never changing, we all our. Love you all bunches! Praying daily. In the bible their is No black or white church, there is only 1 God and he is heaven sitting on his throne, in the bible, there is only 1 race, the Human Race. Spread 💘, not Hate. The movement that needs to happen is standing up for GOD!

Timber H. My dad was raised in the church and spent his whole Life studying the Bible. Only in his final years when he stayed out in the country away from everything/everyone did he begin to understand it. The Bible as well as God/Life/Love are all very misunderstood subjects as they are synonymous with one another. It is my belief that the spirit in me is the same spirit in you and every other form of Life in existence. From every human being to every blade of grass we are all expressions of the same One Life. That awesome force that sustains us all is The MOST HIGH. It is Love.. God is Love in the most literal sense... Living One Vibrational Energy

Now I learn the close friendship between Billy Graham and Martin Luther King, Jr. They were both literalists in their Bible theology. True believers. They shared a common belief in a Christ like GOSPEL OF LOVE. Racism is evil. Our racial history is ridden with bitterness and pain and guilt, and only God can save us.

Martin Luther King was also a highly educated person. He at the top held a Doctorate. If you don't think that's something find someone who has a Doctorate and ask them to explain to you what they had to go thru to earn one. The guy I talked to called the whole process "a living hell!". Most of all, Martin Luther King learned by experience. He taught his followers to stand their ground but to not fight back -- the same way Ghandi & his followers did and caved in the centuries old British control of India. When he led the marches & demonstrations in the south he stood up to authority. He told them if you have to hit someone with a stick, i'll take the first one. If your dog is going to bite someone, I'll be first. He even went as far as saying he'd take the first bullet. He spent alot of time in Jail. But at no time did he ever stand down. Not only was he strong in God, he was strong in spirit & purpose too. This world could use so many more just like him. RIP Martin.

I am not Christian but I have recently begun thinking of myself as a theist. MLK was a wonderful orator. I don't agree with him perfectly on his stance of nonviolence. But I agree whole-heartedly that we must all feel that overwhelming agape. It is so important and transformative once you realize it. You know the kind things you must do, and your life will improve because you will be happy to always try and do the right thing :)

It’s only through the love of Christ Jesus that we come to the realization that anyone can love the lovable ones but to love those that hate you and spitefully use you can only grow and blossom through the knowledge that Jesus died on the cross and after much suffering said to His Father, “forgive them, they know not what they do.” Now that’s redemptive love 💕. Jesus has not only saved me, He’s changed me inside and out. God bless you my brother Chandler 🙏🏼
