DEEPLY AND HONESTLY
Throughout history people have
KILLED each other
In the name of GOD
DEEPLY
and HONESTLY=I can tell you
That
this is WRONG=no matter
What
religion you are=
NO
MATTER what
Your
beliefs are
If
GOD IS LOVE=and he is=
HOW
can you kill someone
In
the NAME of love
It
is AMORAL
Jesus
said
“...............the
HOUR is coming
When
everyone who kills you
Will
THINK he is
Offering=WORSHIP
to God”
John 16:2
PERHAPS
it was an observation
Or
a prediction
About
his very own life
EVERY
religion=every faith
At
some time=or another
Has
KILLED in the name of God
And
it is NOT RIGHT=
No
religion or group=has been
Immune
to this
Perhaps
that is WHY=I like
To
BELIEVE=that I belong
To
God=Or Jesus
Rather
than any particular religion=
The
GOD of LOVE=the God of Jesus
What
we ALL aspire to be=
PERFECT
LOVE=just like Jesus
“How
PRICELESS
Is
your UNFAILING LOVE
O
God!
People
take refuge
In
the shadow
Of
your wings”
Psalm 36:7
“Hatred
stirs up CONFLICT
But
LOVE COVERS OVER
All
wrongs”
Proverbs 10:12
“A
NEW command
I
give you=
LOVE
ONE ANOTHER
As
I have loved you
So
you must LOVE one another
By
this everyone
Will
know that you
Are
my DISCIPLES
If
you LOVE ONE ANOTHER”
John 13:34-35
IT
does NOT matter
What
faith that you claim
You
do NOT know God
You
do not know Jesus
If
you are killing
As
an ACT of worship
You
have MISSED
The
message of GOD
The
MESSAGE of LOVE
“They
STUMBLE
Because
they disobey
The
MESSAGE----------------
Which
is also
What
they were DESTINED for”
1 Peter 2:8
Jesus'
MESSAGE OF LOVE
Calls
for each of us----------------
DEEPLY
AND HONESTLY
To
REFLECT on our own attitudes
Towards
others
Particularly
others of different
Nationalities
and religions
ALWAYS
in the name of Jesus and OUR ALL LOVING GOD
