Hitler had his organizers (Brown Shirts) too! http://www.trib.com/news/opinion/mai...501f759b0.html And not much unlike ACORN. Jesus was a community organizer. Why don't you compare Him to Hitler... Jesus was a community organizer? NAS Matthew 10:34 "Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. NAS Luke 14:26 "If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple. NAS Mark 6:4 Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and among his own relatives and in his own household." NAS Matthew 8:4 And Jesus *said to him, "See that you tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them." All taken out of context. But, if you believe that He was more interested in profit than people, I'm not sure what I can add. Any passage or quote taken out of an extant text can be said to be out of context. What may be more accurate is to say that I provided no extensive excerpts to provide additional context. That being said, though, if Jesus were a community organizer, you should be able to provide those passages that qualifiably make that case. Alternately, I can make the case that Christ was removed from this world before the Christian community was "organized" by the apostles and His disciples. In the truest since of the word, Christ was a "revolutionary," not a community organizer. There was no such phrase in those times, as you know. Feel free to tell me how bad a community organizer is if that's your intention. I don't need to "provide" passages, and if you knew better, you wouldn't ask. It's a completely ingenuous argument. I'm not quite sure what you mean by all of this. There is a panoply of theological terms, or phrases, that certainly didn't exist in the time of Christ that are used to describe particular premises, doctrines, tenets, and manifestations in Biblical scripture. This fact doesn't detract from the validity of those scriptural components. Though, "no such phrase" may not have been employed in those days, it doesn't take away from the fact there may have been community organizers. In fact, the Apostle Paul comes very close to fitting the definition. This also is not to suggest that a community organizer is anathema. What I find offensive is any attempt to describe Christ as a community organizer in order to elevate the vocation to lofty heights. Jesus Christ simply was not a community organizer. If anything, he served as a contrary example. If it is a legitimate exercise to describe Christ as community organizer, then it's legitimacy can be adduced from the time-honored canon of writings from which excerpts can be submitted to buttress the assertion. -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service -------http://www.NewsDemon.com------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access No, it's being used derisively by the right to justify obstructionism. So, I take it that you decline to submit evidential material to confirm his role as a community organizer? It's not my job to satisfy your desire to shift the discussion from the right using that phrase derisively against Obama to my ability to do biblical research. My desire is to see Christ described accurately, not as a community organizer. He organized and had followers. Are you denying this? They were from the Jewish community. Are you denying this? Christ described accurately. What a laugh. What makes you think your understanding of Christ is the one true interpretation? He wasn't even a Christian dude, he was Jewish. Born, lived, died. All of his followers were Jewish. They all attended Temple, celebrated the Sabbath, Passover, The New Year and the Harvest. Guess what? There was no Easter! I could never quite get a handle on Easter... even as a child. I asked my mom .. why do eggs come out of a bunny? Now I wonder why we have little children run around looking for them. -- Nom=de=Plume |
