say something

here’s the thing, it’s really simple: Jesus said love everyone unconditionally, pray for those who hurt you. God is the only executor of justice or consequences, not me. if i pass judgement on someone it’s going to be given to me in the same measure, i don’t want that, and i don’t think you do either. it doesn’t make sense to let people die, but Jesus never promised us anything would make sense, that’s why following him is radical. we’re killing innocent people too. i just don’t think that it’s my place to make that judgement. maybe george bush felt it was his. i can’t judge him either. i believe he is a godly man who did what he felt was right. i just don’t see anywhere in the teachings of Christ where killing anyone, even your enemy, even someone evil, is justified. i don’t have the final say, and if i’m wrong, so be it. but if i’m wrong, no one was killed because of it. shane told a story at ecclesia about this little boy who was getting beat up at school and came home and told him about it. so, shane ased him what he was going to do and he said: “well, i always say” (this kid is like eleven) “two wrongs don’t make a right…” they’re our brothers over there. every one of them are made in the image of GOD. i think it’s wrong to kill anyone ever.
