| 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. --- *Durango b301 #PE** Origin: Doc's Place BBS Fido Since 1991 docsplace.tzo.com (1:123/140) SEEN-BY: 10/1 11/200 331 14/250 34/999 120/228 123/500 128/2 187 140/1 222/2 SEEN-BY: 226/0 236/150 249/303 250/306 261/20 38 100 1381 1404 1406 1418 SEEN-BY: 266/1413 280/1027 320/119 396/45 633/260 267 690/734 712/848 800/432 SEEN-BY: 801/161 189 2222/700 2320/100 105 5030/1256 @PATH: 123/140 500 261/38 633/260 267 |
