About Rush? Let's take a look (perhaps you can make sense of this, assuming you have a good grasp of Jesus' deportment); NAS Mat 15:22. And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, "Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is cruelly demon-possessed." 23. But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and implored Him, saying, "Send her away, because she keeps shouting at us." 24. But He answered and said, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." Was the Christ racist? Now, I would expect that you are able to describe in what manner I judge others (consistently, that is). I'm able to confuse the issue, possibly, by once again resorting to Scripture; NAS Luke 9:52. and He sent messengers on ahead of Him, and they went and entered a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him. 53. But they did not receive Him, because He was traveling toward Jerusalem. 54. When His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?" 55. But He turned and rebuked them, [and said, "You do not know what kind of spirit you are of; 56. for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them."] And they went on to another village. Was the Christ forgiving? We'll consider another relevent passage; NAS Mat 23:27. "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. 28. "So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. 29. "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous, 30. and say, `If we had been living in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.' 31. "So you testify against yourselves, that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. 32. "Fill up, then, the measure of the guilt of your fathers. 33. "You serpents, you brood of vipers, how will you escape the sentence of hell? So, was the Christ judgemental? Consequently, if you have license to judge Limbaugh for an allegedly overt prejudice, one he claims not to have, do you likewise have the hubris to criticize or condemn me if I were to judge the likes of Barney Frank? Now then, how do I "feel" about Rush Limbaugh? Limbaugh, like Michael Moore, is a propagandist. He resorts to informal fallacy. He is puerile in his mockery of others. He is far from someone I would care to emulate or revere. However, as much as I find Michael Moore to be offensive, I don't begrudge him making his 'documentaries.' I have as much license to rebut and refute his campaign of disinformation. Similarly, I don't begrudge Limbaugh having an ownership stake in an NFL team. I have license and the freedom to not watch a Ram's game, should I choose. Hopefully, I can tie all of this together to make it somewhat sensible. What would Jesus do about Rush? He would forgive him. Regardless of any comments by jps, that was well done! These folks sport their royal double-standards in the melee of political conversation, and when it's shown that it's nothing but tin foil, they lose their emblematic moral dilemma post haste. They're like dodge convertibles, if you know what I mean. As weary as I was last night, though, when I wrote this, I'm surprised I was able to articulate any cogent thought at all. :) -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service -------http://www.NewsDemon.com------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access |
