What would Jesus do?
I often wonder.
I wonder what He would
think about the forty flavors
of Christianity we have now.
What would He do?
I wonder if He would tell us
which one is right?
I think it more likely
we are all just as wrong.
I wonder…
Would He say we are too judgmental?
Would He remind us
of what we had been called to do?
How to love one another
is what He showed us.
He included the outcasts,
the unwanted and diseased.
We don’t.
We exclude.
Jesus knows that hate crimes
are not all committed by atheists.
Many have been cast out
and countless wiped out
in the name of God.
ISIS believes their war is Holy
while there are those praising Jesus
for that as a sign of the End Times
they pray to see.
Father forgive them
they know not
what they do.

I don''t know what Jesus would do, but I know what I would do. If it is impossible to have a meaningful, constructive conversation with ISIS, and they continued killing the innocent as usual, I would do all within my power to eradicate them. Just me. B.S. is just B.S.

Never said anything about talking ISIS out of their evil ways. Never said if we love them enough they will quit. The poem has nothing to do with ISIS. B. S.? Really?

The answers are in God's Word.

Terrible things happening in the world is not new. Just some new names killing and conquering for the same reasons.

If you are one who places their trust in the Son of God, I would implore you to read the book of Daniel, Revelation, and of course the Gospels.

It's not a lot of reading. Collectively, no more than Roots or Tolkiens 'Trilogy'. The point is, for comfort, solace, and understanding where we are in this time and age, read and make a study of the Bible.

People may "BS", but God is Truth:

quote:
Deuteronomy 32:4 "He is the Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he".

P.S. Shouldn't we be doing all this in the "Spiritual" forum?

Yikes! Faux pas! You are right. Beg pardon.

I guess I could blow the dust off the red leather bound King James with the yellow highlighted passages and refresh my memory, it has been a while. ~L
