Rod, (Mat 5:1 KJV) And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: (Mat 5:2 KJV) And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, (Mat 5:3 KJV) Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Mat 5:4 KJV) Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. (Mat 5:5 KJV) Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. (Mat 5:6 KJV) Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. (Mat 5:7 KJV) Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. (Mat 5:8 KJV) Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. (Mat 5:9 KJV) Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. (Mat 5:10 KJV) Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Mat 5:11 KJV) Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. (Mat 5:12 KJV) Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. This is what followers of Christ "Christians", were told by the Jesus the Christ. Does this sound like Hitler? Man may say he was Christian. Hitler may even have said he was a Christian, but do you see Christ in him ? I know you are going to say this is all poppycock and oh yes, codswallop, but it does not change the facts.Many, over the centuries have missused the name "Christian", or have called themselves that. If I call a giraffe an elephant,does it make it so? (Mat 7:18 KJV) A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. (Mat 7:19 KJV) Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. (Mat 7:20 KJV) Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Yet I have to be careful, because even when the Archangel was contending with the devil, he disputed about the body of Moses,did not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke you. (Jude 9) I get angry also when I read history of the inquisitions, the slavery, the destruction of whole nations including the American Indians,the killing of millions of Jews, and yes a lot of it supposedly done by "christians". But I will let God be God, and trust in Him that He will not allow ME to become hard of heart. Remember our lives on this earth are but a drop in the sea, and then eternity.
