RE: My favorite part of the Bible

in #religion7 years ago (edited)

JESUS WAS AN ANARCHIST
The New Testament. That's my favorite part. St Mathew chapters 5,6, & 7 in particular. It is also known as The Sermon On The Mount. In it Jesus puts aside almost all of the Old Testament, claiming that he is not changing "the law" but fulfilling it. Basically teaching things like: Use your head. Don't escalate a situation by arguing, return evil with good, pacifism- "turn the other cheek", "be not easily offended" in other words (my words that is) move on with your life. "Do not judge", "Do not condemn". As Leo Tolstoy wrote in his book WHAT I BELIEVE "courts of law do nothing but judge and condemn".
To support my claim Jesus makes distinctions about law. He says thing like "you have your law" and "The law of the prophets" and"There is only one law and one lawgiver". Jesus separates himself from "the law" and suggests that we all do the same. Nobody has a right to tell anybody how to live and what to do.
DON'T VOTE...wtf do people vote for anyway? Answer; to FORCE their will, morals and opinions on others with broken logic usually. Giving no thought or care it seems about the hurt and misery that their penalty of law causes on those affected by sentencing (whom by the way didn't do anything while still claiming to be "CHRISTIANS"
Anyway fugitabout it I'm tired of typing. Here is a link to the audio book WHAT I BELIEVE by Leo Tolstoy https://librivox.org/what-i-believe-by-leo-tolstoy/ Its good easy listening and another link to LDS ANARCHIST a Christian-Anarchist view from the mind of a rare kind of Mormon

Post Script- I also like The Book Of Mormon as much as I've read of it.
