What would Jesus say to US to We the people of today about our nation, about our people about how we live our lives. Once He spoke to a people who had God who followed an order and a way. Yet each man and woman did as they so pleased they made their choices. From our beginnings our founders had accepted a simple moral code taught it and deemed it good away to insure tranquility. But then one day a cry was heard against the moral code for it was now oppressive did not allow a man of true choice to live. So they fought with in their courts and choice it won the day no longer could the school now teach or ask a child to pray . So now after fifty years the cause with its effect has come home to show its ugly head.
It not religion to teach respect its common sense, its not religion to love honor and respect your spouse. Its what you promised to do and its not religion to keep your word it just takes work. It seems all religions built by men disapprove of lying, stealing, and envy and also murder; some even value the unborn life, but value of the child is not religion either. Its LOVE and a simple thing no longer taught Love your fellow man as you do your self.
Placing your faith in man to do the right thing without first giving him the tools is a recipe for disaster. Morality is learned is taught from birth we learn it, first from our parents, then others in our oommunity. But in our time from our movies TV and video games we learn a horrid lesson even in our laws, that human life has no value save what one so choses. So our children of this new century spend less time learning empathy and more time with the carnage on the movie screen. So now who’s to blame for all the death destruction that we have and see? Those who make a fortune teaching death destruction and violence are the wealthy men and women of Hollywood.
Jesus told his followers soon will come a day when you must take purse cloak and buy a sword. A people who give up their right to keep a weapon for self protection invite tyrantyant in.
yes guns kill people in the hands of murders but many of those murders learn their ways from all the violence and murders that they see each day.
