"BCITORGB" wrote in message ups.com... Tink says: =============== Briefly, capital punishment, Jesus said, "Let him that is without transgression of the law, throw the first Stone" ================= I don't know if those were his "exact" words, and I'm certainly no student of theology, but wasn't the whole point of that scene to show/explain the NO ONE is without sin ("transgresion"?). Hence, if I interpret right, no one ought to cast any stones. I further read that to mean that no one or no society ought to be casting stones or otherwise killing other humans. Do I think I've interpreted correctly? Tink says: ================= the sick and hugry, he healed them and fed them. ================== From his example, I have to think he would have liked to notion of "being one's brothers keeper" and that he was big on the notion of charity. He clearly felt that the sick had a right to be healed. Now Tink, doesn't this speak to the notion of univeral health care and assistance to the needy where required? On these two counts, Tink, I think Jesus qualifies as a left-winger. Remember, lefties love you.... we're very charitable. frtzw906 What the....? Now there's an argument about whether or not the Jesus that appears in the stories in the Bible was left-wing or right-wing?!? If Jesus was right-wing, does that mean the good folks that crucified him were left-wing?!? |
