"Love thy neighbor as thyself?"
by admin 
This morning I was following the President's speech on Prayer. He made the quote, "Love they neighbor as thyself" and implied that all religions profess this - not just denominations or the christians catholic. Finally it was crystal clear - we, as Christians have been confronted with a new age spiritualism. As Christians, many of us accept other Christians, not necessarily based upon Denomination, but based on their profession of faith. Roman Catholic to Independents, I only look for their profession of the Lord Jesus Christ as the fundamental doctrine. They pronounce Him as Lord, Savior and the sacrifice of His body on the cross, His burial, and His resurrection as the basis of their salvation. I guess what bothered me about the quotation is the connotation of what it actually meant.

The Law and the Prophets
by David Plexco
Matt 22:36-40 (KJV)
36 Master, which [is] the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment.
The first half of the law or commandments, cover our relationship to God.
39 And the second [is] like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
The second half of the law or commandments, cover our relationship with mankind.
40 On these two commandments hang ALL the law and the prophets
Iran - freedom ...

In the final analysis, whomever wins in Iran - the policies don't change much, just the tactfulness of their execution. Mousavi wants us to see that destroying Israel is in the worlds best interest (the opposition) while Ahmadinejad doesn't care whether we agree or disagree. Same policy and same intent, only different set of players. I almost think I prefer Ahmadinejad since I know where he is coming from: doesn't believe in the holocaust, thinks U.S. is the great Satan, wants us out of Iraq ? and for that matter wants us out of all of middle east.

Blessed are the peacemakers - Thought provoking ...

"The Holy Bible tells us, 'Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.' ... The people of the world can live together in peace. We know that is God's vision. Now, that must be our work here on Earth." --- President B. Obama, speech in Cairo.
God's vision:
"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be on his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
1 But of the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that I write to you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes on them, as travail on a woman with child; and they shall not escape. -- I Thess. 5:1-3
