More Tragic Deaths

As if the murders in Colorado were not enough, now the U.S has to face the additional tragic deaths in a Sikh temple. What would Yehua have said about the Sikh's, or indeed, about other competing religions? 

While Yeshua was strong in telling his followers to spread his words, and that his thoughts came from the mind of the Creator, and that he was frustrated that more people didn't beleive in him, he did not say that his way was the only way. This is important. It is a fact that has, unfortunatly, been ignored by geneations of religous leaders and followers. Other ways can also lead to the kingdom of God.

Jesus and the Rich

Here in the U.S, the next presidental election will likely be between our current president and a man of extrordinary wealth; possibly reaching $500 million.  Yeshua knew men of wealth in his time. Men who could influence the lives of many because of their wealth. Yehua had little use for them. Being wealthy did not mean you had recieved any special favors from God. In fact, Yeshua had a short and bitting comment on the wealthy. He said that the rich had no concept of the idea of righteousness and peace for all.  He proabably was right. I am afraid we see this all to often today. Things haven't changed in 2000 years.
