in
my opinion a man among many with shaky beliefs.
Not
going to say he is a loose canon, but a shaky wibbly woobly canon.
A canon with no issues with the title “canon” but a clear and
present danger to the title “Blessed”. The former given to him
by man and the latter by Jesus. If he is a true disciple of Jesus
the Christ then he would be rejoicing and happy , not
sad-to-write-and-complain.
We
are commanded To rejoice and be Happy when being persecuted, Now
compare persecution (from verbals to martyrdom) to ‘a bias
against’. The latter should be of no concern what-so-ever.
It’s
Matthews fault .
Most
wannabe Christians and wibbly wobbly canons have a problem with
Matthew. Take for instance that bakery in Belfast that was in the
news when the management , supposedly Christian, had a problem baking
a cake supporting marriage equality , yet did not have a problem
baking Halloween cakes that glorified satan, satanism and his
festival. Well the management had a problem with Matthew, Had they
sought Jesus’s wisdom in Matthew they would have baked the cake,
they never would have contested the case let alone appeal it, and
would have given more than the court awarded the injured party. All
that from Matthew in the King James version. If the King James
version is good enough for the Free Presbyterian’s, then its good
enough for me.
Matthew
5v39-44 KJV
But
I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite
thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man
will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy
cloak also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him
twain. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow
of thee turn not thou away. Ye have heard that it hath been said,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto
you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them
that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and
persecute you;
Matthew
laws down that Hippie stuff pretty thick
Back
to the canon worried about anti-bias
Still
in Matthew 5 v10-18
Blessed
are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed
are ye,
when
men shall revile you,
and
persecute you,
and
shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice,
and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven:
for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. ((and this
canon is complaining))
Ye
are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour,
wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but
to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light
of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither
do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a
candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let
your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come
to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to
fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one
jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be
fulfilled.
