hrm, from what i have read about Jesus, he was willing to provide free healthcare and food to people, shouldnt we as christians want the same? what political party would Jesus be a member of? he totally sounds like a socailist to me. everyone who talks about money for why things cannot be done, reveals whats in their hearts. what cost was Jesus willing to pay? did any of that have anything to do with money, or politics, or war? anyone who looks on his brother or sister with hate, is not following the teachings of Jesus. the lack of compasion people have for each other is what holds us back from being together in society. look for reasons why we are alike,not for why we are different. while there are many people in the world today doing ghastly things to each other, pray for them, ask for Jesus to forgive them. there was a time in the world where war was rampant, the christians of the world gathered together to fight back the evil being done. evil is still being done, its far more subtle than before, as horrible as it sounds more people die in abortion clinics than in the wars of the last century. why do we as christians take part in a system that is clearly no longer benificial to our beliefs? we cry out that abortion is wrong and it is, but we still pay our taxes, we still contribute to the very society that is perpetrating this evil in our very midst.
violence is never the answer, but a sit down strike seems to work pretty good each time its applied. in the end, we are living our lives in a way as to make ourselves comfortable in society, at the expense of others. exploiting people from around the world so we can have cheap shoes, and then we walk to church wearing them. asking God the whole time,why the "other side" is so corrupt. in the first world countries, we are living a life of luxury and fighting with others over how WE feel things should be done. with OUR money. money is a concept created by man to serve society, now society creates man to serve money. is it any wonder things are getting so bad in the world?
personally since becoming a born again christian i ask myself, how can i take any part in mans world and society when its so clearly corrupt with greed and exploitation. the only answer i have and i hope Jesus will forgive me for it is this. its the only way to talk to people anymore. sadly anyone i try to talk to about these things is met with anger and hostility even indifference. people no longer talk to each other to learn, they wait for their turn to speak, so they can tell me why i am wrong. you know what kills me the most about all of it? this is all going on right in the middle of the kingdom of God.
if i had any prayer for God to grant it would be this, that all of christianity, regardless of denomination, would all join together, and refuse to participate in a society that exploits the poor, kills the unborn and wars for profit. anyone who says, im just one person, what can i do? has not read about Jesus.
Jesus was crucified for our sins. why do so many christians seem to be in the business of making whips and nails.
enjoy your dinner, enjoy tonights entertainment, say your prayers asking God why this happens? sleep under a walmart bought blanket. get up, go to work, pay your taxes, borrow on credit, be comfortable as you window shop thru the world. ask for it all to be buried with you. when we stand before Jesus we will ask, why did God allow all of the bad stuff in the world to happen, he will reply, why did you allow it? all things serve God,are we?
Duewell
im starting to think i would rather starve to death, homeless on the streets, talking about Jesus, until i die from exposure. if you find me first,can you burn my clothes? i would sit there naked until i die, but THAT would offend my fellow christians. am i being to harsh?
