October 3, 2002What would Jesus do? We admit that this is a perfectly fine question. And so, to find answers, we decided to go to the source and last week read through the four Gospels. This is what we found. Q: Would Jesus launch a "pre-emptive" war? A: Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. (Matt. 5:9) Q: Out "president" [That's "resident" Bush -- Ed.] appears to be prepared to "kick some Iraqi ass." What would Jesus do? A: Ye have heard that it hath been said, thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you and pray for them that despitefully use you and persecute you. (Matt. 5: 4344) Q: While the governor of Texas, George Bush signed 140 death warrants, and granted no pardons to condemned prisoners. What would Jesus do? A: Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy. (Matt. 5:7) The HTML on this page is baddly broken, but I enjoyed the content. |
