So let me ask you

[Jim Spencer]

Jim Rigney,

 

Jim, what then, will you do with the words that Jesus spoke such as----"How can you say, show us the Father---I and the Father are one---if you see me, you see the Father". "I am the way and the truth and the life---and no man may come by the Father except through me". "the sheep know their shepherd."

"If any man will acknowlege me, then I will acknowledge him before God". "A house divided against itself cannot stand."  "I will send the Spirit of truth to search out the hearts of all men who testify to my name."

"The son of Man can forgive sins" He told the thief on the cross that he would someday be with him in Paradise.

 

Was Jesus wrong? Was Jesus evil? Was he misinformed about his own mission? Was he not the Son of God?

Was he the Messiah? Was he the Christ? When Jesus was accused of performing miracles by the power of Beelzebub, Jesus told them that "how can Satan cast out Satan?"

 

So Jim----what do you do with Jesus and his words? I have known Jesus since I was 5 years old. He lives in my heart everyday, I love him, and I want to live the way he lived and follow the words he gave us. Are you saying that I am evil, because of that? Many Christians call Moonies evil. How does that make you feel? I didn't call you evil; even though I consider myself an Apostle of Jesus. There is room in my heart for both Jesus and Father. Even if I may not believe the same words as you believe----do you think that it is words that determine if a person is god-centered or he is evil?  No, you don't understand what constitutes evil.

Evil is basically when a person lives a self-centered, selfish life that causes pain to others. When you throw the "evil" word around----don't you realize that you may be causing harm to other peoples faith?

I am very conscious about harming another person. I always try to  respect them even though they may be confused. If God was going to label anyone evil due to their character weaknesses, their failures, poor decisions, and errors of judgment----no one would have a chance. How about Hyo Jin? Was he evil?  He seemed to make quite a few mistakes.

We are all saved by Grace and Mercy---that's why Jesus said, "Repent--for the Kingdom is at hand".

Instead of standing in judgment of others, and labeling them as "evil" and "satanic"---spend some time looking into your own heart and soul. You might be surprised to discover that instead of trying to save the world----you first need to find the way to save yourself. That's a fulltime job in itself my friend.
