Rosie has been resorting, on this discussion thread, to spewing this constant barrage of words directed at attacking Jesus followers, followers of Jesus who have lived for the past 2000 years.
you have a basis for your shit finger lie Sherrie? ---- try to be honest for a change
irosie,
I do not feel guilty over what people who lived before I was ever born did. Do you feel guilt over everything every Jew has ever done? This guilt you try to lay on Christians is baseless and completely unwarranted.
I am not responsible for what people calling themselves Christians have done since Christianity was a religion, I am simply not.
I really would think about reconsidering my position on this if anyone could point to any Religious Scriptures that tell me I have guilt over the acts of people who lived before I was born.
Now, what I do feel guilt about is what my country is doing to people today, like killing innocent civilians and funding the Occupation in Palestine, what Christians today do to people, like excluding people and judging people and not following Jesus teachings. The world I live in Today is something I feel I should be concerned about, and feel guilt about. I really can relate to the Prophet Isaiah's image of blood on his hands over the sin of his own people, I feel that, too. But what his guilt was over was what the peple were doing then, while he was alive, not what the people did before he was even born.
I am sorry about Christians who have hurt and hated and killed others, including Jews. I wish it did not happen, and all that has happened, all that hurting, hating, and killing had never happened. Jesus does not call on us to hurt, hate, and kill anyone. Every person, their lives have value, and God loves all of us, Christians, Jews, Muslims, and everyone else. We all matter.
I don't mean by anything I say in these discussions that I want harm for anyone, what my criiticism is directed at is the Occupation and human rights abuses a part of it (that includes the unlawful acts carried out in Gaza this past week)that denies basic human rights and equal rights to all of the people of Palestine, the Occupation is the problem here.
