Right Wisdom

The following is a little debate my daughter is involved in and I couldn't help myself but I got involved in it too. My statements are the first anonymous and at the end.

Chemist, you really need to understand bible theology better because Jesus came to this earth to die a horrible and gruesome death to save all of us from our pitiful and sinful selfs. But He also said "He is the Way the Truth and the Life and no one comes to the Father except through him." It is only by us repenting and humbling ourselves to him and seeking forgiveness and then putting our trust in Him that we will be saved. He also said He came with a sward in His hand. Sure be nice to people is correct and helping others as well. But Jesus never said it was governments role to help the poor it is the churchs role...

VERSE: Psalm 98:9 For He is coming to judge the earth. With righteousness He shall judge the world, and the peoples with equity. REFLECTION: Many people speak of God as a God of love. And while I agree God does love us, He is also a judge. He judges all of us by the same standards. This is an impartial love in which no partiality is shown, only equity.

However the problem with man's courts is that some people are judged less equally than others. It seems that when high profile people commit crimes, they are shown more leniency than the common person. But under God's kingdom it ...

BROOD OF VIPERS VERSE: Luke 3:7-8 Then he said to the multitudes that came out to be baptized by him, "Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, "We have Abraham as our father. For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. REFLECTION: What is a viper? And why was John the Baptist calling people who came to be baptized a brood of vipers? Are you a viper? I will hopefully answer these questions and more as we look at this verse a little closer. According to Websters dictionary a viper is a poisonous snake or a malicious or spiteful person. And the Greek word "echidna" also means a poisonous snake. So why was John calling these supposed followers a group of poisonous snakes? I believe he addresses that in the lines that follow his statement. You see those people didn't understand the truth they believed that if ...
