subject: Was Jesus rich?

On 01-01-10, ROSS SAUER said to TIM RICHARDSON:



RS>> His brat...I mean son is carrying on in Jerry's footsteps, complete
TR> with RS>hatred, lies, and constantly begging for money.


TR> Obviously, the absolute irony of someone like *you* typing your
TR> sentence above completely escapes you.


TR> You go after Jesus as though you must drag him, also, down to *your*
TR> level in order to feel good about yourself, in much the same way you
TR> do others.


RS>How do you go from my complaints about "God told me it's ok to get rich
RS>from my pulpit" preachers to Jesus?


You aren't `discussing' religion......you are slamming `religionists'.


There is nothing wrong with being `rich'. Nowhere in the bible can you point
to a single admonishment by `God'....or `Jesus' against being rich, or even
well-to-do.


RS>I simply posted an article about a controversy, where two sets of
RS>preachers say two different things, one groups saying Jesus was poor,
RS>the other saying Jesus was rich.


Jesus was neither one. Jesus had a good trade, and up till he began his
ministry he made a decent living at it.


RS>Jerry Falwell himself began his career using his electronic pulpit to
RS>defend racism and segregation.


Again....you are focusing on a `person' who wasn't exactly the ideal of a `man
of God'.



RS>When it came to a choice between lowering the big fat salary he had his
RS>church give him, and taking money from a cult leader, (Moon,) who
RS>Falwell had condemned, Falwell took the Moon money.


You are tossing out firebrands against someone you intensely disliked,
disparaging his offspring as well, and (more likely than not) probably don't
know what you are talking about (not a new situation for you).



RS>Now that he's died, Falwell's son has taken over the Falwell franchise,
RS>and is running it just like Daddy did.



RS>By preaching hatred, lies and begging for money.


You focus far too often on the bad *you* see in others......you should focus a
little closer to home....and deal with yourself, first, before trying to
spread your sense of moral outrage at others.
