20For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 21"You have heard that it was said to the men of old, `You shall not kill; and whoever kills shall be liable to judgment.' 22But I say to you that every one who is angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother shall be liable to the council, and whoever says, `You fool!' shall be liable to the hell of fire. 23So if you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 25Make friends quickly with your accuser, while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison; 26truly, I say to you, you will never get out till you have paid the last penny.

Matthew 5: 20-26

Someone complained that Zam doesn't add any of his own words or views to his Thought for Today posts. And she's a groupie and seems like she's trying to make that man happy! Kind of like when the Manson girls used to go out for Charlie's sandwiches and acid.

Oh wait, that never happened.

For me, this is Jesus's commentary on rage, and the folly of it. It is as true today as it ever was.

If you are sincere, you will find what you seek:

7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

Matthew 7: 7-8

If you are not sincere, it will be a mystery to you. It really is up to you.

Her true motives are known only to her of course. The fact that she is here and asking questions, however, is a sign that she is seeking something.

I might agree with you if it were someone else asking.

Everyone deserves a chance. Jesus did not preach exclusively to the righteous.

I agree. But I have not known of her or most other libs here taking it seriously. I have not once seen her or the others have a conversation about religion with a conservative that they haven't bashed, called names & twisted our words to make it what they want. I guess it's worth a try and maybe she'll surprise me. Good luck.....

Thank you. I'm not interested in trying to convert anyone who doesn't want to be converted, but I also won't turn anyone away who is sincerely interested in Christianity. It's up to them.

And yet, you came here, with a question about scripture, for me.

You disproved your own theory even before you put it forth. Odd.
