IF CHRIST CAME TO YOUR DOOR

A man who takes pride in his work. Sure he's a gardener.....but he's a damn GOOD gardener. He took MLK's words to heart:


My "guy" is Kenyan. Just about whatever needs doing, he can do. But...Jackson doesn't actually DO most of the work any more. Instead, he's developed himself a vast network of "experts" of all shapes, sizes, races and ethnicities in most every field. We've referred all manner of other clients to him and in each case, the people value him as if he were say....their beloved family pediatrician!
 
Hah! In this case, my "Jesus rule" is but editorial artifice pulled straight from my ear! It's not some sort of doctrine, dogma, nor commonly accepted concept.

In any case, what I'm referring to is the idea that Jesus is/was a man of non-violence and peace, in every instance.
Thank you for the explanation. He did at times seem to be ready to fly off the handle, but I don't have any other examples, right off hand.

Thank you for the explanation, I am kind of dense at times.
 
Christians have tried to say that the fact that He died on the cross was for our sins. Those are things that they were led to believe by a bible that has been doctored and changed by every ruler and church since the first Koran was written. To start with, we don't even know when the New Testament was written nor by whom. It is amazing how a story changes every two days. I had a friend who caught a two pound fish and by the end of the day it was four pounds. The next morning it was over five pounds. Now, we are talking about one or two or three HUNDRED years. Put what ever number you wish, but it was a long time after He died, when the bible was written. I think a lot of the ideas have been put into the bible for the faithful, and to keep them paying for the church, so the church could keep growing. And if you fail to keep paying you will end up in hell. Well I don't think you will end up in hell. God seems to be too have kind of been written out of the bible, because He was not flesh and blood. But I must tell you that if there is a God, He must be a little offended that some one else gets credit for all the good things He provides. I am saying, if there is a God, not because I have any doubt, but because I can't make you any promises, and I have no knowledge that you don't have. The people who believe in Christ have found what they need. I don't want to take anything away from them, and I don't think I want to change anything they believe. It's just for the rest of us.

Anyone would recognize Jesus at the door. Our hearts would recognize Him. We would just know.
Because He has a halo as portrayed in the movies. Or there would be a shining aura around Him. By what grand vision would you recognize Him. Your heart has no eyes nor nose, so tell me how would you just know.
 
Some churches survive on rock n roll music.


Yes. You and I are old enough to remember when Christianity shunned R&R music as the work of the devil. The rules evolve as necessary to attract new members. Still, there are some denominations that don't allow the playing of mechanical musical instruments during their worship services.

Good morning, NS, I have no bone to pick with RnR but I live on a fairly busy street, and the kids come by with their stereo turned as loud as possible. I fear for their hearing when they are our age. Putting that kind volume in a church will make the problem even worse. It is just a matter of exposure to volumes of music in a closed space. The churches may be out of business if their faithful can't hear them speak, or hear the music being played.

alternately...i'd say... just mow and fall clean up. thanks.
