Take a knee? basketball great, Jonathan Isaac says he won't

Jonathan Isaac, number 11 on the Orlando Magic basketball team made headlines when he decided not to take a knee and to stand during the national anthem. He also choose not to wear a 'Black Lives Matter' t-shirt as the rest of his team did. Reactions since then have been swift and varied. Jonathan share how his faith influenced his decisions.
"I am about solutions. When I saw people taking the decision to kneel, I thought the best decision and the best solution is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, because that is how my life has been supported. That is how I have seen countless lives be changed, supported, changed for the better, when it comes to situations like racism. Realizing and understanding we are all made in the image of God is the answer. That is the solution I went with."

"I kneel only to God and will stand up for Jesus Christ." What a Warrior. Regardless of your side, this man deserves respect. What a good example this young man is, having the courage to stand for his faith in such a polarised environment, I wonder how many of those who were kneeling didn't want to but didn't want to disappoint others and went ahead and knelt? "The only thing we need to remember is to love God above all things and love our neighbors as ourselves..." how wise & courageous this player is!

I am not in one of those states, but in the local jail where i spent six months in solitary confinement, the inmate who worked two or three units over twelve hours a day, sweeping mopping halls, cleaning showers, passing out food, doing laundry, helping commissary, earned $1 a day. so where is the justice?

[@DarkMysteriousObject]

As an Atheist, I will say this young man really understands the world around him and seems truly genuine without an agenda. I respect everything he said

[@Marcus-mk3sd]

And yet you are still an atheist

[@DarkMysteriousObject]

@@Marcus-mk3sd Yep I am.... But I would guess that the most Christian thing to do is to love other people. I believe you can achieve that without bringing God into it but if that is yours and Mr Isaac's way of getting there there is nothing I would disagree with, in the end we are both shooting for the same goal as opposed to our tyrannical governments

[@lancezenner6177]

At least your not brain dead and can use reason. Some questions that are unmistakably obvious when processing a disbelief in a designer or what people of faith call God. It's certainly a step in the right direction to at least acknowledge a person of value and someone who is passionate about his convictions to the point of actually putting them into actions. Yes, another part of a Christian belief is that we are all given by the grace of God free will to choose our own path. Love is at the center of all glory to God. You cannot force someone to Love you, and of course that is no different from our Loving father in heaven. Obviously the big bang hardly explains everything to a "T" when attempting to figure out the bigger more deeper questions that Science just will never be able to explain. Science has become the new modern day religion attempting to falsely claim an exact truth. The word is derived in it's origins from the meaning , "knowledge". Knowledge is nothing without the wisdom to which then determines reason when applied with purpose for what is an expected outcome. Science , or the religion of science has been touted as facts. Yet we always attach terms such as Theories, speculative notions, and hypothesis to our research and studies. It's however ironic to note that a majority of our advanced knowledge in most of the modern day beliefs attributed to the many sciences were processed and discovered by people if devout faith. Including the idea or concept of an begining called the big bang. Also the discovery we use so extensively in today's modern world called DNA. Then you could ask the deeper questions regarding the often overlooked influences of the study of the human intellect, or category known as psychology or even the inner workings of the deep state of conscience. Us people of faith refer to it as a an eternal soul. Perspectives run the gambit all across the board. The Gospels even address such doubters of a faith in a God by just about every character ever written about from Adam to Abraham, to Moses, and on up to Peter and his Apostles. I assure you, that your doubts are in very good company. Jesus made a statement that no man ever lived who was greater than John the Baptist. Yet even he too had his moment of doubt. Imprisoned by Herod and awaiting his fait he asked a contact while behind bars to once again ask Jesus if he was the one that would deliver us from the bondages of sin that permeates this world. So having doubts about a certain Truth is not unusual. We are human after all with limitations. We all face the inevitable death in this life which is certain. Yet we also are all with a mind so complex , that we argue and debate over this very question of ; who, what, and why? Reason might suggest that we have a designer , like the Apple computer did not evolve from an explosion or cars did not fall from the sky? Yet we posses something uniquely different from any other creature , as I stated earlier , the sub conscious mind of knowing right from wrong, being able to contemplate deep thoughts of self image. Our sciences as we know and understand them currently only scratches the surface to these questions using biology and our chemical makeup. Is it a coincidence that a book written over 5,000 years ago would suggest the origins of mankind made from the clay of earth, and to this present day any biologist would share the knowledge that we share the exact same properties of metals in our biological makeup as what is contained in Earth's soil. Or that only one human bone in our bodies is capable of regeneration or regrowth , the rib. Interesting facts of nature that correspond with a very old text. Their are of course many others that get ignored. Then you look at the historical evidence from non biblical text that refers to the events of the place to which we date the calander of today. This should be at least interesting enough to ponder over, as someone interested in , shall we say science? Knowledge. We already realize the value of many ancient text that include many stories of morality , and then stop in our tracks when going further to ask from where does this originate? Surely , morality does not come from a rock? It's good to keep an open mind and realize that to dismiss the values of having a faith in God has been witness to many who felt as you do now, full of doubts and questioning much, and that's ok. God bless you on your journey , especially if your seeking Truth. Love and Truth are synonomus .

[@MrRuumi1]

@@DarkMysteriousObject The problem with atheism that there is nothing considered to be bad or good. Example rape is not really a bad thing in atheism because there is no higher moral ground for them to look up to, Hitler was an atheist and believed that society doesn't need jews because they are problem so they decided to kill them all and considered that to be a good thing. Margaret Sanger is an atheist who believed that abortion is a good thing and her real plan was to reduce black population using the means of abortion. Christians love people that's true never the less they don't accept human sins, as christian we are striving to follow what Jesus taught us and to follow his examples to be as loving as possible to tell them the truth!

[@danelson78]

I agree. The main thing he does which many people don't do is to make it clear that he respects other people's decisions and doesn't look down on people who don't believe what he believes. That is how we should all be.

[@maryfitzgibbon7210]

This is a real God loving man! Your parents must be so proud of you! I’m proud just watching your interviews ! You are the type of man I want my daughters to marry!

Jonathan Isaac is a real man who has principles, values and integrity! He is the kind of man that women would love to be their husband! It takes great courage to stand for his beliefs

[@acerivera68]

Wow much love to him speaking about the gospel and seeing the world from a spiritual lens

[@The_Real_Rambo]

What a good man. I love how he gives glory to God.

[@miaqueen9578]

Just wow. No words for a man like that. Lucky woman who gets to call him her husband. I hope God keeps on blessing this man. Not just in materialistic things, but happiness and saftey and peace for his soul.

Good for You sir 👏 I stand with you and by you. I kneel for God I do NOT kneel to oppression.

I love how he says it's not about race he doesn't label every white person every black person the same but that woman kept bringing up racism against him for being black constantly

This young man stands on solid ground, not afraid to face the world with faith on his side.

The more I hear Jonathan Isaac, the more I believe the world needs more individuals like him. I also heard you stood up against vax mandates. Bless you Jonathan. True Warrior Class. Thank you so much for being such a super soul. Matty from the UK.

Full respect for this guy. This woman cannot hide her contempt. Not sure she attempted to.

He made the right choice because he got to share the gospel.

YES

[@ginafarrell6797]

Well said, Johnathan! If some people don't like it, then they need to learn how to agree to disagree.

Just watched a video of him explaining why he would not take the vax and I think he’s amazing. He’s a young person who has conviction. I’m in Orlando and happy he’s here…Go Magic!

@Reemo Williams Jesus is not real. That's a character within the parables of the bible to lead you to answers of life and its records.

[@b61020]

What a blessing!!! Mr. Isaac, your words, sir, are truth, wisdom, and have eternal value. I wish this interview was played on the evening news. Sin is the root of the problems plaguing our world and the cross of Jesus is the answer.

[@paulaivens8063]

Well said 👏👏I love this brother in Christ. The Lord will bless him for speaking out on the only answer to all man’s problems. As he says it’s not a colour problem it’s a sin problem. If you have the Love of Jesus in your heart their is no room for hate.🙏🌺🙏

[@10devy]

This woman shaking her head but not listening to anything he's saying. She's trying to hard to mock and get him triggered, however she's getting triggered HAHA. HalleluYAH brother... Our KING IS COMING BACK SOON.

[@tarheelphenom]

I think most born again believers can identify with that woman before they can to saving faith in Jesus Christ. The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it's the power of God. So, to her, what Issac was saying was foolishness...and yet...God's love and His mercy is so great that He would use that interview to give her the gospel...and prayerfully the Holy Spirit is drawing her that one day she too would come to faith in Christ. She will never be able to say that she didn't know.

[@mikec4834]

This woman is disgraceful

[@XeniasWorld]

Was she trying to mock him? She's asking questions that arose around his controversial stance. Please don't miss his overall message of respecting & loving people where they're at

[@XeniasWorld]

@T K. yeah, his team mates were not disrespecting the flag w their actions, but I do understand there are a specific group of ppl who are unable or unwilling to comprehend that. Controversial: giving rise or likely to give rise to public disagreement. His stance was controversial by his own admission

[@godsamazing2090]

I didn't see her doing that 🤔 Her questioning was to furthermore push his message.

[@winterwarriorelite77]

This guy is awesome!! I wish my daughters could have a Christian man like this.

[@nathaliejohn3614]

Nice!! But she must also take the decision to love Jesus Christ more than she loves herself. I pray The Holy Ghost gives her more wisdom and strength. Shalom
