The words of Jesus versus the words of preachers.

The Words of Jesus create instant heart palpitations for attempting to live in them is hard work.We hear only a half baked message from many popular gurus of faith.

The church representing Jesus Christ has a lot to answer for. Instead of "if your enemy hunger feed him " Romans 12: 19 we are learning the new Christianity.Cut your enemies of at the knees.Kill the bastards.

Best illustrated by Ivor Powell when he spoke about 2 little boys who had heard the preacher say '' If your not baptized by immersion you will got hell" so the two little boys decided the goat they had needed to be baptized.The two little boys decided the best for it was the slough behind the house.There they were pushing tugging trying to get the goat in the water.

The goat rammed both boys a few times.They got mad.So one boy said to the other "let's just sprinkle him and let him go hell" This in general is the attitude most Christian have when it comes to their neighbor.

I hear to many Christians talking about a love of self but damn the neighbor.Let him look after himself. Hateful words spewed all over the world about those who don't believe as we do the gays,the Muslims,the atheist.

The concept is lets sprinkle em and let them go to hell.There is little left of the live and let live attitude before the Roman catholic church set to work with the inquisition in Spain(circa the 13 to 15 hundreds) Where Christians and Muslim,Unbelievers in general lived in harmony with each other without creating conflict.As neighbors looking out for each other.

Many preachers and Mullah's preach hate. We should not fall in the same category as those who preach hate.We should preach the great commandment Mathew 22:35- 40 Go look it up. The saving life of Christ is obeying the precepts He gave for us to study and learn.Nothing the Spirit of God asks of us is ever easy.Let me tell you one more story.I was invited as a guest at a meeting of Muslims and Christians to give my five cent worth. I sat with a man who looked like the world had come to an end.

I did not ask him what he was.All I did ask was."Can I help you?" He said "I doubt it! "I persisted and said "lets hear what your problem is" He told me he was unemployed. I did what I usually do simple "Let's pray to the Father." so I laid my hand on his shoulder and prayed a simple prayer.

Explaining the mans need to God.He looked strange at me and said "but I am a Muslim" When I "said so what God hears the prayer of everyone it does not matter what you are". He is my neighbor. If it would have been within my power to give him a job I would have done it.
