the jesus idol, no. 1

preparing to witness to those who idolize jesus ...

you can spot jesus idolotry everywhere ....
i love the one, "jesus is god, read the bible"!
i think jesus is shaking his head like the rest of us who know that a group of men made him divine ................. thinking yet?
'i give you a sound mind' ... use it!

want to know who knows jesus, ask a simple question ....

'who would jesus bomb?'

see how fast the excuses come for not following the commandments of god .... they can't even follow orders.

just a question, perhaps the answer is 'i don't know'

for those who don't know, i'll tell you what i think the answer is
'no one.'

and this is why ...

'i give you not a spirit of fear ...' so anytime someone tells me i need to be afraid, that's not coming from god.

'love your neighbor as yourself ...' bombs and war do not embody the fruits of the spirit ... especially when you have as much power as we do.

and then there are the lies, and lies, and lies, and lies, and lies and, then, more lies. i know who 'the liar' is.

so, intelligence and intellect aside, its o.k. if you are not following jesus, he taught that 'the road will be narrow.' but i just keep on thinking that, just maybe one day we can all just be on the same narrow road cruising about the universe together; its an awfully big place out there and ....


.... and there we would all be .... each of us on our very own narrow roads perhaps chartered and travelled by those who came before .... or maybe not.


.... and then there would be this new road .... "and this one would be mine," says the newborn.


..... "when you pass me by, reach out and give me a high-five!" says jesus.

peace & harmony,
