Could Jesus tell you to do the same thing He told people in the Bible ?
No, Jesus wouldn\u2019t tell me to do that\u2014that was just for the person He was talking to in the Bible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Such as . . .?
+\u201dSell all you have, give it to the poor, and come follow Me.\u201d
+\u201dYou feed them.\u201d
+\u201dLet the little children come to Me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of God.\u201d DON\u2019T KILL THEM\u2014Don\u2019t \u201csend them away,\u201d as the disciples said.
+\u201dDon\u2019t lay up treasures on earth.\u201d (as in the typical American retirement portfolio)
+\u201dWhere your treasure is, there your heart WILL BE ALSO.\u201d
+\u201dLay up treasure in heaven.\u201d (can\u2019t lay it up in heaven and keep it on earth)
+\u201dIf you see your brother or sister in need, and shut up your bowels of compassion, how does the love of God dwell in you?\u201d
+\u201dDo good to all people, especially to those of the household of faith.\u201d

\u201cDid God really say . . .?\u201d
What if Jesus asked you to do something uncomfortable, to give up . . ., to give away . . .?
You might ought to listen, and do it.
Learn from Adam and Eve\u2014it boils down to a simple choice, not rationale.
Are you afraid to go against the grain of history, especially current American history ?

Better to be on the right side with God\u2014the right side of His\/story\u2014than on the right side of momentary, modern history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
