masbury says: If you're a Bible-believer, how can you be faithful without advocating special care for the immigrant? Jesus dined with the Gentiles; how can anyone who calls themselves a Christian do anything less? Love thy neighbour. yes but preferably from afar. What appears to be cruelty and harshness may, indeed, be an act of Love by One whom we do not see. Consider the Farmer who, seeing a Baby Chick struggling to break its Shell, out of compassion, breaks the Shell, releasing the Chick from Resilience. As the Chick matures, it is seen to be Weak and a Victim within the Pecking Order. The Farmer, though of good intention, had deprived the Chick of Resistance at a time when it needed it most. Had he let the Natural Order of Things prevail, the Chick would have earned the Strength required to survive on its own. It is good to care about the illegal immigrant, but Jesus would never advocate breaking the civil laws of a country. Yes, you are absolutely correct. That "render unto Caesar" and "be in obedience to authority" thing. Jesus also said Compassion above all things. Jesus also said Compassion above all things.I haven't seen the videotape of the actual conversation, but it's reported in Matthew 9:13 that he said, "But go and learn what this means: 'I DESIRE COMPASSION, AND NOT SACRIFICE,'" Of course, some would say that the writer attributing this remark to Jesus may have ripped this off from Hosea 6:6, "For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice;" Some more scholarly texts translate "έλεος" as "loyalty." Forgive me. I often quote scripture for my purpose.lol Mercy and Compassions are both things that define the Christian Beliefs. Doing atrocious and hateful things to people, just because they are not of your country is NOT Christian. It flickers over to the other side of the equation. What is loving about spreading Tuberculosis or any other disease that is or is not curable? What is loving about smuggling drugs into another country? What is so loving about taking charity you do not deserve? What is loving about breeding yourselves into oblivion, then running away from there, just to do it in some other place? What is so loving about doing all of this just because you don't want to follow the rules, no matter what the consequences may be? All of the while giving your law abiding countrymen a bad rap, because of your poor behavior.. WE WILL ALL BE TOGETHER AGAIN AS ONE by Steve Savage "King of the Beasts" We're all fractionated parts of the One, like separate cups, each filled with water (Spirit, Life) from the same source. When the cup is broken (Death), the water returns to the source from which it came, drops returning to the Ocean, the One True Consciousness. The Universe (Existence) is a Hologram, a Projection. Break it into tiny pieces (masbury, darkeforce , valann 47, jay8h, etc.) and each piece retains the image of the Whole. Each one of us is everyone and everything. There are no others, only ourselves in different forms. That's why Jesus said, "I am in the Father and the Father is in Me, because I and my Fat... WE WILL ALL BE TOGETHER AGAIN AS ONE by Steve Savage "King of the Beasts" (continued) Two-thousand years ago, St. Paul did his best to explain this most elusive of all mysteries to an audience of lower calibrated awareness, by saying, "By One Spirit are we all baptized into one Body, whether we bond or free, Jews or Gentiles." We're like a string of Christmas lights. When one bulb (body) goes out (dies), the Electricity (life) completes the circuit and returns to the Source (God) from which it came. Electricity (Life) never dies. When the burnt bulb (body) is replaced on the string with a new bulb (body), it lights up, sometimes with parts of the same electricity (Life) that once illuminat... Unfortunately, we all live in the here and now. All of the sweetness and light still can't stop the spread of disease, and the other atrocities imposed by and heaped upon mankind. I don't do Christmas, it isn't in the Bible either. Yes the nativity, and that was supposed to be a secret. Just keep walking around with your head pointed up to the stars, but be careful not to trip over the war torn,the sick, weak, and starving as you just stroll along, singing psalms. Unfortunately, we all live in the here and now.IT'S ALL ONLY MAKE BELIEVE by Steve Savage "King of the Beasts" It is not the same thing to know the Path as it is to have walked the Path, because only He who walks the Path knows the Doctrine. You might as well know the Truth. You are all Players in the MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) of Eternal Life, an Infinite Game without End. You are Immortal and, thus, will live forever in Absolute Existence. Your status, of course, will depend on how well you played the last role assigned to you. The average age of MMORPG players, in Relative Existence, is around 26. Those outside the parameters, not contributi... Way to complicated. But, if you like Shakespeare then, here's one for you when Puck says, "Lord, what fools these mortals be". ( A Midsummer Night's Dream [A Miller's Tale] ) What is so caring about being an unmitigated racist? dmoonme1; nothing about being a Christian says that you only show love to people who show love back. If you're a Christian, and someone stabs you in the stomach, you still love them. Christian love is not conditional. Besides, how is a person with an illness that they have no control over "unloving"? That doesn't even make sense. And who says that they don't deserve charity. Judge not, lest ye be judged. And what is so loving about you, stepping on people living in desperate poverty, trying anything just to get their family to survive? That is a very slimy, selfish attitude you're showing there, smoonme1. I say this because I love you; you're a slimeball racist. It is good to care about the illegal immigrant, but Jesus would never advocate breaking the civil laws of a country.Hi Jay - I know that's a popular idea, and it certainly is true that we're to respect the laws of our nation. Keep in mind, though, that while the Romans had conquered Judea, most of the governing was still done by the Jewish theocracy. When Jesus touched a dead girl, when he touched a leper, when he was touched by the bleeding woman, when he touched lepers, when he and his disciples picked grain and ate it on the Sabbath, when they skipped ceremonial washing, and when he healed on the Sabbath, he broke the civil laws of his country, and many hated him for it...

All I want is for the rules to be the same for each of us. When my people came to this land there weren't any door prizes being handed out. They had to carve a living out of the wilderness. Most of them being shopkeepers and city dwellers they didn't do very well. If not for our red brothers, they all probably would've perished. You don't have to be a Christian to show love and mercy to your fellow humans. "If love does not know how to give and take without restrictions, it is not love, but a transaction that never fails to lay stress on a plus and a minus". (Emma Goldman) Here I must say that I am not going to defend myself from these hypocrites who mi... |
