The Sad.

A ramble that wont be noticed.

 

Everyone gets up in arms over religion, and beliefs about the world. They judge, they fight, some use beliefs to justify greed, selfishness, or even "just action" for the sake of "just action."

 

If you ask me about what I believe, I tell people I dont believe in religion, I believe in Jesus Christ. That is a hard thing to say, not because I am scared to say it, but because it is a statement acknowledging that most who religiously "follow" Jesus, are not really listening to Him at all. Still I understand this, but still could say about myself that I have 50% religiousness in following Him, and 50% not, because there are times when I religously follow Him rather then actually stop and pray to Him about what to do. I just do what seems right according to the Old Testament laws or things we insinuate about them.

 

Just think about some of the words Jesus said, then think about the actions he took that prove these words true to a T in his own life. "Praise those who curse you." "Do good to those who despise you." "LOVE your enemies." "If someone hits you across one cheek, turn the other so that he may hit it also." "Pray for those who do wrong to you." "Forgive as much as you want forgiven." "Peter, put down your sword, those who live by the sword, die by it." He didnt fight back, was taken, and in his unjust murder called out "Father forgive them, they know not what they do!"

 

WOW. And you wonder why people could try and kill whole countries in the name of Jesus?
