Charlie Kirk YOUTUBE: Family Learning Together (19 September 2025) Charlie Kirk teaching his daughter Newtonian physics :-) YOUTUBE: Why I Deeply Respect Charlie Kirk (17 September 2025) "(1) He was bold in Christ - he presented Jesus as the MOST important thing you needed to get your life; (2) he was opposed to abortion - because we are made Imagio Dei; (3) he was opposed to trans ideology - because God made male and female; (4) he was opposed to feminism - due to God's design for marriage and the family. Charlie Kirk was killed for his Christian views..." How Charlie Kirk's Christian Religious Beliefs Shaped His Advocacy (14 September 2025) "Charlie Kirk became a political force known for galvanizing the youth behind President Donald Trump. But his religious faith was the legacy he said he hoped would endure. 'I want to be remembered for courage for my faith. That would be the most important. The most important thing is my faith', Kirk said in June on a podcast. In his debates and speeches and on his internet broadcast, 'The Charlie Kirk Show', he pressed conservative views and stumped for Republican politicians. He encouraged listeners to follow God, marry young, have children and prioritize family. He stressed Judeo-Christian values..."
YOUTUBE: Remembering Charlie Kirk: What Christians Can Do Right Now (17 September 2025) "In addition to addressing a variety of political and social topics, Kirk was known for sharing his faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ ... Every once in a while, some major event will happen that kind if wakes up the public conscience and people will begin to sees it's really bad out here and surely there is more to life than this. Charlie Kirk was assassinated just a few days ago and since then I'm hearing the gospel on social media more than I can remember. A lot of that is coming through these clips of Charlie Kirk engaging with people on college campuses ... This man shared Christ. He stated truth. He spoke respectfully and he was hated for it and murdered..." YOUTUBE: Jesus' Love: Grace and Truth Explained (No Date) Questioner to Charlie Kirk: "You just said Jesus is the most important thing for everyone out here, And so can you please explain to everyone out here what Jesus stood for, and especially the qualities of love - how to love your neighbour, even if they don't agree with you?" Charlie Kirk to Questioner: "That's a beautiful question; I'm glad you came up to ask it. But I want to also add something because you're right: Jesus fully embodied two things; things simultaneously that showed His divine and His godly nature..."
The Assassination of Charlie Kirk (12 September 2025) "On Wednesday, 10 September, a gunman shot the MAGA-adjacent activist (and Turning Point USA founder) Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, precisely as Kirk was answering a questions from the audience about transgender perpetrators of mass shootings ... The activist left, both in Europe and the US, have spent the 48 hours since Kirk's death celebrating the shooting, fantasising about which 'fascists' they would like to see killed next and in general behaving like a deranged death cult..." Ballistics VIDEO: Proof Charlie Kirk Was Shot From Behind (06 October 2025) "For weeks people said it was impossible - but now we have: Multiple videos synced together showing the projectile in midair; Evidence of a remote-triggered weapon hidden behind the tent; Infrared refection caught on Frank Turek's phone screen right as the shot is fired ... When you see it all in one place, you can trace the shot straight from the top of the tent to Charlie's neck..." VIDEO: The Moment Charlie Was Hit (06 October 2025) "Multiple videos clearly show the projection/bullet in midair - enough to trace its straight-line trajectory from the gap at the top of the tent directly to Charlie's neck. Multiple angles show what appears to be a shell casing falling from that exact same gap where the shot seems to have been fired. A flash and even a reflection of that flash is visible on Frank Turek's phone screen at the moment of impact. When these clips are combined, the whole picture emerges of how this went down - who was where, and how the shot really came from behind, not the front..." YOUTUBE: New Charlie Kirk 'Autopsy' Results Destroy FBI Narrative of Tyler Robinson As Shooter (06 October 2025) "In a wild turn of events, as if this Charlie Kirk situation needed any more of those, we now have a couple of different influencers who have come out and confirmed that Charlie Kirk did in fact have an autopsy. which is what we really would expect. However, they are claiming they actually know what is said in that medical examiner's report. And we're going to take a look at what this report actually says. And I got to tell you guys, I don't know who to put this nicely..." OUTUBE: Charlie Kirk Assassination: Narrative vs Reality (04 October 2025) "The last video was heavily suppressed (shadowbanned and age-restricted) which stopped it from reaching the people who needed to see it most. This message matters, and it deserves daylight. The people trying to shut it down are not seeking the truth..." YOUTUBE: Kirk Update: New Video Evidence Destroys the Narrative (28 September 2025) "We are today in the court of public opinion battling out a narrative. What they want you to believe versus what your eyes are telling you to believe... Today we are continuing to talk about the bizzarreness around the Charlie Kirk assassination because things just keep getting weirder and everybody ... wants us to just shut up about it or turn the other way and accept the narrative..." / Viewer's comment: "When the government looks into us it's an 'investigation', but when we look into the government then it's a conspiracy" YOUTUBE: Kirk Assassination: New Information Raises More Questions (26 September 2025) "It brings me no pleasure today to continue the discussion of the Charlie Kirk assassination ... In the last video ... at the time when I put it out, I was 100% convinced of certain things ... we do have new evidence directly contradicting one of the main claims in that video. I don't think it absolutely negates all the other claims, but we're going to go through that and discuss it today..." YOUTUBE: Video Proof Charlie Kirk Shot in the Back of the Head (24 September 2025) "It was first reported that Charlie Kirk was shot in the front of the neck from about 200 yards away... but a new camera angle shows evidence that Charlie Kirk was actually shot from behind in the back of the head..." YOUTUBE: I Have Just One Question. Maybe Our American Friends Can Answer It? (24 September 2025) "There's just one thing that does not make nay sense to me. Maybe someone can explain it? I'm hoping a medical or a hunting expert can explain the big issue I have with the weapon alleged to have killed Charlie Kirk." YOUTUBE: 30/06 Debunked as Charlie Kirk Murder Weapon (22 September 2025) "Today I will be talking about part of the Charlie Kirk debacle that happened in America. Now I had purposefully stayed out of it because it happened overseas ... we deal with stuff that happens in Australia. But this ... affects the whole planet. What the FBI and the general media is feeding the people in America is just another level of stupidity. So today we will be just talking about the one part of this whole debacle and that will be the actual firearm and bullet that was used to assassinate Charlie Kirk..." YOUTUBE: The Shot from Charlie's Right (17 September 2025) "[W]e've got a lot of questions to answer yet..." YOUTUBE: 30-06 vs Ballistics Gel Head (16 June 2020) [WARNING: Graphic Content] "This video is about what a 30-06 rifle round will do when shot at a realistic human head made of ballistics gel and a casted resin skull."
YOUTUBE: Candace Owens Goes Radio Silent After Netanyahu Exposes Her Lies and Charlie Kirk's Letter (30 September 2025) "[T]he topic of Charlie Kirk and his relationship with Israel has been under huge scrutiny, and there's been some significant developments recently, and I feel I have some level of authority on this matter as someone that knew Charlie Kirk and had conversations with him about this ... Netanyahu, in one of his interviews, said 'I actually received a letter from Charlie a few months ago and he expressed his love for Israel' ... But then people like Candace Owens suggested that Netanyahu was being dishonest, that he was only showing a small section of the letter ... the letter has now been published for all to see. And we're going to see what Charlie Kirk said in the full letter..." YOUTUBE: Charlie Kirk, Israel, and the Hidden Accusation (23 September 2025) "Charlie Kirk's assassination should have been a moment of national mourning. Instead, the conversation has been twisted into old accusations against Israel and the Jewish people. At Charlie's memorial, Tucker Carlson invoked the crucifixion of Jesus - a reference that may have sounded harmless to some but carried a hidden charge with two thousand years of history behind it. In this episode, I speak as an Israeli Jew, as an American citizen, as a veteran, and as a believer to expose the hidden accusation and how it fuels antisemitism today. We'll look at Charlie's biblical worldview that tied his conservatism to his support for Israel, the method of insinuation that empowers haters while silencing Jews, and the double wound of losing a leader while watching his memory distorted. Closing with a reminder from Fiddler on the Roof, this episode is a a call to resist recycled lies, stand firm on truth, and honor Charlie's legacy by defending the biblical force that tied his life, his faith and his love for Israel together." YOUTUBE: Charlie Kirk 'I Was Programmed to Hate Israel Until I Actually Saw it for Myself' (22 September 2025) "I was very pro-Israel before this trip, but I'm just on fire to continue to advocate for this moral and godly country ... the Western media has become so good at lying about this country ... What the western media tries to do is they try to make it some sort of equal playing field in the conversation that Hamas and the IDF, they're somehow both on the same playing field. No, no, no. The IDF is righteously and correctly defending the nation state of Israel, God's chosen people in the Holy Land. And the self-restraint they go through is unbelievable ... I have such respect for the tradition, for the culture, for the family values, for the reverence of the Jewish people ... they want a place to be able to worship, access to the holy sites, and the ability to live their life. And it seems as if the entire international community wants to put that into jeopardy. And what I find so promising about Israel is the willingness to fight for what you hold dear. And that is a moral and righteous fight. To fight for your history, to fight for your land. You are on the right side of history when you do that..."
Television Pastor Likens Germans Who Criticise State Media defamations of Charlie Kirk to the Devil (21 September 2025) "[T]he raging hatred of the German press for Kirk and his sympathisers has yet to abate ... This follows days and days of coverage in which media personalities have called this moderate Christian conservatist a racist, an inhumane misanthrope, a misogynist, a white supremacist, a sexist, a metaphorical arsonist, a conspiracy theorist and an advocate for stoning homosexuals to death, who is worthy of comparison to Adolf Hitler and whose assassin might put one in mind of Claus von Stauffenberg ... the campaign has an ideological purpose. The political left has cultivated an entire civic religion premised upon identifying and defending an ever growing number of victimised groups ... White men are victimisers, of course, as are those on the right side of politics ... The problem for self-satisfied left-leaning ideologues everywhere, is that Kirk, who met all the requirements for being a stereotypical victimiser, was killed brutally in front of his family on video that has been viewed by billions. The consequence is a powerful cognitive dissonance that requires repair..."
"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy. Without natural affection, trucebreakers [irreconcilable], false accusers [slanderers], incontinent [without self-control], fierce [brutal], despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady [reckless], high-minded [haughty], lovers of pleasures more [rather] than lovers of God; having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof: from such turn away ... resist[ing] the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate" (2 Timothy 3:1-5,8b). Can the Radical Left Be Trusted with Free Speech? (27 September 2025) "Ironically, sometimes freedom of speech must mean even going so far as to question freedom of speech itself - in the name of preserving freedom of speech. With Leftoids being sacked and suspended all over the place right now now for making gloating comments after Charlie Kirk's assassination, many on the free speech wing of the Right like ourselves have been making impassioned pleas not to cancel such ghoulish, blue-haired individuals at all. In airy principle, I quite agree. In concrete practice, however, I wonder if doing so will simply allow such malign and apparently murderous Leftists to dominate us forever in the future, if allowed infinite leeway to get away with such things wholly without any consequence..." How the Left Programmed Young People to Hate (16 September 2025) "In the spring of 1975, the Red Army Faction ... stormed the West German Embassy in Stockholm and murdered two of its staff ... a British tabloid [asked] 'So, Who's Sick?' ... When, half a century later, Charlie Kirk was struck down in the midst of civic debate, and when voices on the 'progressive' Left respond not with horror but with unholy glee, we are forced once again to [ask] Who is Diseased? Who is truly sick? ... The murder of Charlie Kirk was barbarous enough, but what followed was more chilling still. Social media, that great theatre of contemporary sentiment, resounded with elation rather than grief. Where the natural response should have been mourning and sober reflection, there was instead celebration, applause, even exultation. The old pieties of compassion and human dignity were trampled beneath a chorus of malevolence ... The obnoxious, jeering, bratty mobs on social media and their elevation of spite into virtue [are] symptoms of generational breakdown..." The Awful Violence of the Far Left (16 September 2025) "Charlie Kirk did not die in vain. His assassination has dramatically exposed, if that were still needed, the awful violence of the far left. Not that you would hear that on the BBC, or read it on progressive websites: there is a well-worn strategy for when a WASP is swatted ... When their political or cultural enemies commit some foul deed, the shouty far left and their media accomplices focus on the characteristics of the miscreant. But when it's their own side caught doing something wrong, they generalise the blame ... Charlie Kirk's killing, allegedly by a leftist, is described as 'political violence', an impartial concept that masks the real threat to society posed by the far left ... the strategy of denying the humanity of opponents is most emphatically played by the far left, as in the well-funded and overly influential organisation Hope Not Hate [sic]. This, indeed, is the repressive tolerance taught by Cultural Marxist Herbert Marcuse..."
The Oxford Union President-Elect Why the Oxford Union's Charlie Kirk Scandal Matters (18 September 2025) "The president-elect of the Oxford Union, George Abaraonye, has promoted outrage after making comments that appeared to celebrate the murder of American conservative activist Charlie Kirk. On WhatsApp, Abaraonye said, 'Charlie Kirk got shot, lets f****** go'. On his Instagram account, another post read: 'Charlie Kirk got shot loool'. These posts were widely condemned. And no wonder - Abaraonye had actually met and debated Kirk at the Oxford Union. To respond so callously to his murder reflects very badly on him. But the controversy hasn't just shed light on this particular president-elect's lack of decency and moral judgement - it has focused attention of the Oxford Union as an institution..."
4 Lessons from Kirk's Memorial Service (23 September 2024) "Sunday's service for Christian martyr and political activist Charlie Kirk was viewed by people all around the world. It is estimated that over 200,000 people attended the service, with worldwide livestream totals exceeding 100 million. Such was the impact of this young Christian man. And the words spoken there by so many devout Christians really turned this event into one big church service, revival meeting, and evangleistic campaign combined. Sure, not all who spoke or attended were believers, but overwhelmingly this was a deeply Christian event..." Kirk Memorial Service: The Gospel Proclaimed to Millions (22 September 2025) "A few days ago in Melbourne 100,000 fans came out to watch a football game. Australians love their sport. So do Americans. But some 200,000+ people just attended the memorial service for Charlie Kirk in Glendale, Arizona ... Two biblical passages that I have often shared over the past few weeks fully encapsulate what this event really means:..." YOUTUBE: Charlie Kirk's Memorial Service: A Movement of God or Reason for Concern? (22 September 2025) "Was Sunday's funeral/memorial the beginning of a great move of God or is it something Christians should be concerned about? Some have expressed their excitement believing we are witnessing the beginnings of revival, others see people in attendance like Jensen Franklin, Brandon Lake, JD Vance & President Donald Trump and they worry this is a mixed multitude of Christians gathering with apostates and grifters. In this podcast I try to give a fair assessment of the situation. Included is a clip from Frank Turek." Kirk's Funeral Reminds the West It's Christ or Chaos (22 September 2025) "On April 8, 1966, Time Magazine issued a cover wondering if God is dead. This morning, 59 years later, the President of the United States told the world that America needs to bring God back. And I know what you're thinking: Donald Trump? ... YOUTUBE: My Honest Thoughts on Charlie Kirk's Memorial (22 September 2025) "I share a few thoughts on Charlie Kirk's memorial." YOUTUBE: No, This Wasn't Devil Horns (22 September 2025) "There are claims on social media that Erika Kirk flashed the 'Devil Horns' hand sign at yesterday's memorial service for her husband. That is actually NOT true, and here is why." YOUTUBE: What They Won't Tell You About Charlie Kirk's Memorial (22 September 2025) "Erika Kirk forgave the man who [allegedly - now in doubt] took the life of Charlie Kirk. Frank Turek gave an amazing Gospel message."
YOUTUBE: Rejecting Charlie Kirk: The UK Church's Shameful Misstep (25 September 2025) "After the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk and the huge response globally, Dave shines the spotlight on the UK Church. Why are we shunning him? Was Charlie a martyr? What do faith and politics have to do with one another? What does all this mean in the light of Matthew 25? Are we sheep or goats?"
YOUTUBE: The Charlie Kirk Files: Episode 12: The False Gospel of America (27 September 2025) "[T]here are some very bad actors here who are using this tragedy to promote a more sinister agenda ... the NAR with their strange blood revivals and their mysticism is going to feed right into the Roman Catholic Church. These two are going to become one and they're going to squish as many people together into a new religion ... eerily similar to what Constantine did when he merged Christianity with the state ... this is a mystery religion wearing the cloak of right-wing politics. This is the one world religion wearing the cloak of saving America ... What good is it if we save America, but lose the gospel?..." YOUTUBE: The Charlie Kirk Files: Episode 11: The Blood Revival (27 September 2025) "I want to point your attention to something that's happening in October in Washington DC where Bethel Church is coming together to have communion with the Catholics. They are claiming that they are going to open a portal that will result in revival in this generation. That sounds insane, but this is the New Apostolic Reformation with Lou Engel. These people believe that they are going to open a portal and that a spirit is going to come out and revival is going to happen ... always have your eyes looking at what Rome is doing, but also look at what these guys are doing too. Rome is taking the political power, but these people are pushing evangelicals into unity ... coming together to create some sort of super-religion. This is evil ... But now due to the Charlie Kirk stuff, they've got a lot of momentum in the religious world right now ... none of it is of the Lord..." YOUTUBE: Bill Johnson and More Catholic Unification (26 September 2025) "'Communion America' is a new event put on by Lou Engle and supported by Bill Johnson. Both encourage unification with the Catholic church as family in Christ."

This is the one world religion wearing the cloak of saving America ... What good is it if we save America, but lose the gospel?..." Episode 11: The Blood Revival (27 September 2025) "One of the people you let into the fold when you go ecumenical is Catholics and from a religious standpoint that's one of the worst things you can do. But another thing that came in was called the New Apostolic Reformation. Now you can put both of these on either side of so-called evangelicalism ... these two are like the ends of a sandwich. They are pushing towards each other. And what you're having emerge is that Rome and the NAR ... are amalgamating and absorbing and bringing everybody together into some sort of super-religion. And that religion will unite with other religions. And so what you have is the ecumenical movement getting into universalism, and then you'll have your one world religion. This is what they are doing..." Episode 10: The Rise of the Roman Right (26 September 2025) "The Great Reclamation - evangelicals uniting with Rome for Charlie Kirk and the USA. Calling it a revival 'for religious conservatives'. A revival of Rome - the precursor to a one world religion. Every time God works, Satan works too. The NAR was providing the music, so everyone lets their guard down. Note that VP JD Vance is married to a Hindu woman, he will push forward the ecumenical agenda ... (1) The reverse reformation; (2) the rise of a political power; (3) modern version of the Knights Templar; (4) not the Republican Party of before; (5) Roman Catholic right-wingers; (6) Support for Israel will diminish with these people and they will turn on Israel; (7) Is there a Jesuit agenda here? Probably; (8) the hijacking of Turning Point USA and of America, done by the mystery cults of the world uniting to form a brand new religion of MAGA..." Episode 9: The Hand Signal (26 September 2025) "Today, we're going to be talking about the horned hand that Erika Kirk showed. There's been a lot of conspiracy, a lot of talk about this, and we're going to show you the truth about this situation, break it down for you ... the internet is abuzz with the fact that towards the end of the Charlie Kirk memorial event ... Erika Kirk in her moment of grief, standing before the crowd, crying, threw up this hand signal, which a lot of people are debating what did it mean? Was it a just a simple 'I Love You' gesture from the American Sign Language, or was there something much more nefarious going on here?..." Also Regarding the Hand Signal: YOUTUBE: No, This Wasn't Devil Horns (22 September 2025) "There are claims on social media that Erika Kirk flashed the 'Devil Horns' hand sign at yesterday's memorial service for her husband. That is actually NOT true, and here is why." Episode 8: The Rise of the Divine Feminine (25 September 2025) "I must be honest with you, this episode has freaked me out a little bit as I've prepared it. I'm going to show you something called the Esther Prophecy that happened about 10 years ago, and how it lines up with this current event and the rise of Erika Kirk as the CEO and leader of Turning Point USA ... In 2011 Kim Clement gave a prophetic word about the rising of an Esther in the future ... Erika is being used as the icon of this movement. What you are seeing is the rise of a new religion..." Also Regarding the Divine Feminine: YOUTUBE: The Occult Claiming Erika Kirk (The Divine Feminine) (22 September 2025) "[T]he occult world is saying that Erika Kirk is the embodiment of the divine feminine ... The occult world is claiming Erika Kirk as their own ... 'Erika Kirk stands as a singular force both in America and the word right now. A beacon of divine feminine power rising from an unimaginable loss' ... It is very troubling that these people would claim her ... as their new spiritual leader ... Whenever God does something, and I think the Lord is doing something right now ... you can be sure that the wolves are working..." Episode 7: The Gospel as Bait (25 September 2025) "Something is happening with the Charlie Kirk situation. A movement is rising ... a new religion is rising, wolves in sheep's clothing using this sad event, this tragedy, the vulnerability of this moment to swoop in and establish themselves as a part of this narrative and to take control of the agenda ... These people are trying to raise an army and take control ... the gospel being the bait they are using to get people to open up to them and to join this agenda and to get involved with this movement ... this is the Trojan Horse that the ecumenical agenda beings to the table: 'Let's come together, let's just preach the gospel and leave all that other secondary stuff alone.' This is dangerous. That is how you let false doctrines and false gospels come in the door. This is the agenda of Satan, friend. And I'm telling you that this is dangerous..." Episode 6: The Swoop (25 September 2025) "Here is the swoop. You have this evangelical boy who ... gets assassinated for trying to do some sort of ecumenical things, trying to save America. And in the wake of the tragedy of it, a crowd swoops in and says, 'Hey, we were there all along. We were there. We're a part of this. This is something we can help you advance even further now that we're here'..." Episode 5: A Moment of Vulnerability (24 September 2025) "There was something about this that was different ... evil. It doesn't sit right with me spiritually. There is something at work here. There is something about this that doesn't add up, that is off. When everyone's vulnerable to a message ... that's when they can slip in some message ... there is something out there that is going to use this crisis their their benefit..." Episode 4: The Conspiracy Theories (24 September 2025) "[There are] some silly ideas but also some very interesting and thought-provoking ideas about this... (1) Witches cast a spell on Charlie Kirk; (2) Charlie Kirk under the tent was not him; it was a hologram; (3) Predictive programming - the film 'Snake Eyes foreshadowed this event; (4) A freemasonic ritual; (5) FBI Director Kash Patel telling Charlie 'I will see you in Valhalla' was code for putting Charlie into the witness protection scheme; (6) Israel's Mossad was after Charlie because he had [according to Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens] turned his back on Israel; (7) It was a psy-op; (8) Erick Kirk anomalies. ... Asking questions is healthy, but the bottom line is that there is a lot of confusion..." Episode 3: The Martyrdom of Kirk (23 September 2025) "This is episode three where we talk about Charlie Kirk, the Martyr ... remember Charlie Kirk was hybrid - he was a political and a religious figure ... he became a martyr for a religious cause as well as a political cause..." Episode 2: The Ecumenical Road to Save America (23 September 2025) "Episode one was about Charlie Kirk and who was he. We talked about him and his desire to save America from the political left. In this episode we're going to talk about some of the things that he did ecumenically in order to accomplish that..." Episode 1: Who Was Charlie Kirk? (23 September 2025) "Thank you for watching today's video. We're going to start a new series called the Charlie Kirk files. This is going to be a series of videos ... in which we will take certain elements of the very complicated Charlie Kirk situation and just cordon them off and try to break them down piece by piece. I believe that this whole situation is going somewhere. And I do think there's going to be some good done along the way, but I'm going to give you the pieces, the building blocks of what I see is going to be happening over the next few months and probably even the next few years..."
The Memorial Service "We need not just a political realignment but a spiritual reawakening. And we have to bring back religion to America because without borders, law and order and religion, you don't have a country anymore. We want religion brought back to America. We want to bring God back into our beautiful USA. We want God back" [US President Donald Trump, quoted at source]. Israel "Whatever the motive for Kirk's assassin turns out to be, Kirk's death is a strategic blow to America. Talked of as a future president, he had a unique gift in reaching American youth with a patriotic message of cultural conservatism and Christian renewal. And he was a great supporter of Israel. Since his murder, however, MAGA's conspiracy-theorist wing has erupted with a stream of antisemitic claims centered on Kirk's memory and with deranged fantasies that Kirk was murdered by the Mossad. The leader of this faction, former Fox News host and current political commentator Tucker Carlson, is claiming to be the true inheritor and guardian of Kirk's legacy. As such, he is claiming (with no evidence at all) that before his murder, Kirk had turned against Israel. But Tucker himself has platformed innumerable wild and vicious anti-Israel and anti-Jewish claims. On his Tablet podcast this week with Israeli commentator Gadi Taub, the American political analyst Mike Doran said Kirk's murder had set in train a struggle for the soul of the Republican Party - over Israel. It's also a struggle over Israel for the soul of America. It is beyond remarkable how so much of the world's agenda now involves hatred of Israel and the Jews" [source].
How Do You Want to Be Remembered? Questioner to Charlie Kirk: "If you could be associated with one thing, how do you want to be remembered?" Charlie Kirk to Questioner: "I want to be remembered for courage for my faith. That would be the most important thing. The most important thing is my faith" [source and source].
Questioner to Charlie Kirk: "But when did you accept Christ?" Charlie Kirk to Questioner: "Fifth Grade at Christian Heritage Academy. I remember I heard a hot gospel. And I heard what happens if you don't give your life to Jesus. And it's very important that when we share the gospel - the 'modern' gospel [EMcD: seeker sensitive / prosperity gospel] is 'God has this beautiful, amazing, wonderful life for you, and if you give your life to Christ your life will infinitely improve.' This is somewhat true, but it's very misleading because you're basically trying to sell people on Christianity of a life without difficulty. The better way to teach the gospel is 'Here's the ten commandments. How many of these are you violating? Oh, you deserve to go to hell and you probably will unless you give your life to Christ.' That is the proper way to evangelise. And so I realised the stakes in fifth grade. I was like, 'Oh my goodness, I'm a sinner, I'm selfish, I'm broken.' And only thanks to Jesus' perfect sacrifice coming and living a perfect life that I get something I do not earn, but has been given to me: this free gift of eternal life" [source].
Questioner to Charlie Kirk: "I have 30 seconds left to live. I'm dying from a gunshot wound. What would you actually want to tell me if I have 30 seconds left to live?" Charlie Kirk to Questioner: "You got 30 seconds. In 30 seconds, you're about to meet eternal judgment. And there's only one way that you can get bailed out of that. And it's not all the good things you did or the moral scorecard. It's whether or not you have Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. And that's the only thing that's going to matter. And so, you got 10 seconds left. You're dying from a gunshot wound and you ask a question: 'who is Jesus Christ?' And the answer to that singular question: 'who is Jesus Christ?' is the most important question for everyone in the audience - not how much money you have, how much good stuff you do - it is 'who is Jesus Christ?' You might say, oh, Jesus was a teller of good tales or Jesus was a good person or Jesus was a historical figure. None of that's going to cut it. It's whether or not you repent and you ask Jesus Christ to come in as your Lord and Savior. That's the only thing that will save you from eternal damnation" [source and source].
