RAncitas...
actually.. I probably do at times :) I'm not aware of it though, because I seek to avoid inserting my prejudices 'onto' the text. In fact.. if you can show me where my views (when specifically commenting 'as' a Christian) are in error with regard to the Biblical position, I guarantee I will relfect seriously on them. I looked back on the previous 2 posts. The last one was mainly an apologetic/defense of the one before that, and checking it, I cannot see how I am using the Bible to backup 'my' prejudices.. could you help me out here ? I do see some statements which seem to be in harmony with the position advanced IN the Scriptures, but not one which is 'imposed' on them. Anyway.. the Jesus of the Gospels is indeed a revolutionary figure, 'ooh.. that dude eats with tax collectors and sinners'.... he came to set the captive free, give sight to the blind, life to the dead, healing to the cripple.. and to challenge the human traditions of Sabbath observance and many other accumulated human traditions... I'm sure if he were here in person today, He would do the very same thing towards many of our major denominations ! Example "I told you that the first would be last.. that he would be great among you must be servant of all, so why are you Bishops living in mansions" ? and so it goes on. Nothing would give me more pleasure and joy than to be compared unfavorably with the life and words of our Lord... because that brings glory to Him. It would underline my own defficiency and highlight His perfection, and Jesus said "I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men to myself" meaning the cross, but drawing.. is one thing, His hearers coming is another... perhaps you might like to consider your own position re this 'long grass man' ? I do every day, and I come up short. But by His amazing grace to this sinner, I find forgiveness and renewal. Halelujah ! Posted by BOAZ_David, Tuesday, 31 January 2006 8:16:42 AM

Oh Boy, Luck Christians are not like Muslims, otherwise series of backlash will directly against Australia and its people, while Australian Embassays mayest destroyed in many Christian countries with 911 type attack, malicious Bin Laden like boomb attack or Cronulla like riots INCLUDING embassy in America!!

He came for the poor

He came for the Unrighteous
He came for the sinners etc..
