shalom,
I agree that Jesus was God, himself. In his tirades against the religious leaders of Hs time. He he had plenty of justification. Those very leaders are the ones that are responsible for Him being crucified. Although the Roman soldiers were the ones that carried out the job of doing the crucifying, they were under the command of the sanhedrin. Pilate had already washed his hands of the whole affair. That is why I object to those that say the Jewish people were guilty of such a crime, and they still hate the Jews for something they had no control over.
Many of the, so called, Christians of today use many excuses for their crimes against society. While I detest the practice of abortion, nothing can justify the murdering of the doctors, and helpers, who perform the operations. It is, only, the fanatical, types of people who claim to be Christians, that I verbal disagree with, in no uncertain terms. There have always been times when those that claimed to be Christians have done such un-Christian acts, such as the crusades, Spanish inquisition, and the witch trials, of Salem, and other places on Earth.
Although I will not cease to confront such radicals, I have not been as bombastic as in the past. I know that the words I say will have no, real, affect on those types, but feel better having said my say against their practices.
There are still things that make me lose my temper, but I am better able to hold my actions down to a minimum.
I lost my Son on June, 28, 2001. I wish we could have been closer, but my addiction to alcohol got in the way. At least, he had the opportunity to see me sober for a year before he passed away. Had he not engaged in an addictive way, he would still be with us. I, sometimes, blame myself for his tendency toward addiction, but because of his reaching out for Jesus a year before he died, I know he is in that better place.
I enjoy communicating with you very much. You have forgiveness for my many foibles, and respond with such soothing words.
Live in peace.
