Being a church-going person, I am ...Let's see. Being a church-going person, I am familiar with this person named Jesus. Who, as a ragamuffin that prayed and studied scripture, attracted hoards of disciples, many of whom were so passionately attracted to his message that they risked or endured martyrdom, enabling the start and survival of Christianity against all odds.<br /><br />How'd he do this?<br />He cared for the poor and needy and destitute. He taught moral living and purity of heart, while demonstrating compassion. <br /><br />Notably, he did NOT invest in re-schooling the "talent" of the Jewish leadership. He did not ask the Pharisees and Sadducees to attend secular training programs on how to administer their religion better. <br /><br />We know what Jesus did WORKED VERY WELL. Not to go too far out on a limb, but maybe there's a CHANCE he'd be a prime example for what the church should do, too?<br /><br />And common sense tells us that if a bride chooses to have ZERO regard for her groom's honorable ways, and starts lusting after and investing in secular men in flashy business suits... well. That marriage isn't going to thrive, is it. <br /><br />Just some piddly observations from the peanut gallery...<br />jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03139040043178237413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407817413258733695.post-37117666497173181422014-12-14T12:16:08.123-08:002014-12-14T12:16:08.123-08:00You're on.

The "no-talent" requirement fits me perfectly and I'm every bit as much of a man as the lesbians that they're recruiting. <br /><br />That's me - on the fast track to be the ArchBishop. If I get the job, the first thing that will change is that I won't want to be called a "primate". It may apply to current leadership, but, well, you know. <br /><br />I wonder how the British will take to having a right wing heterosexual running their church? I mean, it would make more sense given the high Pakistani population in the UK if they picked a homosexual Paki -- but a Yank, who would want to carry a .460 revolver in a holster?
