Well, now.<br><br>I thought, upon reading the Princess' treatise below, that I'd try to respond point by point. I thought I'd offer a reasoned defense of the Person (and judgment) of Christ; I wondered how best to frame a rebuttal, set forth my own theological views, and reason for a balanced, true doctrine of prayer for one's enemies. <br><br>That is, right after I finish herding the squirrels in my front yard, dressing them in leiderhosen, and teaching them to play the cello.<br><br>Tanaka/Witmer is, at this point, incapable of reasoned judgment and dialogue, and further attempts on my part run the risk of causing him to further offend the Mighty One he so fervently proclaims.

Well, Keely, given your theology, I'm not surprised that you disapprove. In fact, I would worry if you did approve. Perhaps you think of Jesus as: <br>
<br>
A limp-wristed lily-boy <br><a href="http://42.bloguje.sk/img/jesus_blond3.jpg" target="_blank">http://42.bloguje.sk/img/jesus_blond3.jpg</a> <br>
<br>
A hippie who thinks you're okay, I'm okay <br><a href="http://www.tc.umn.edu/%7Ehick0088/images/blog/buddy-jesus.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.tc.umn.edu/~hick0088/images/blog/buddy-jesus.jpg</a> <br>
<br>
A poor doofus knocking at your door to get inside because there's no knob on the outside to let Himself in<br><a href="http://www.spiritwatch.org/HeartKnock.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.spiritwatch.org/HeartKnock.jpg</a> <br>
<br>
etc. <br>
<br>
But the fact of the matter is, Jesus comes in judgment, including condemning the wicked to eternal damnation <br><a href="http://adishakti.org/images/jesus_and_mother.jpg" target="_blank">http://adishakti.org/images/jesus_and_mother.jpg</a> <br>
<br>
and when Jesus wants into your heart, he doesn't take "no" for an answer <br><a href="http://eyeofthestorm.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/jesus_gun.jpg" target="_blank">http://eyeofthestorm.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/jesus_gun.jpg</a> <br>
<br>
furthermore, Christians are members of both the Church Militant and the Church Triumphant <br>

<br>
And therefore we need to live accordingly. <br>
<br>
You can go on living as one of the people of the limp-wristed lily-boy hippie doofus door-knocker Jesus, but you'll still have to answer to the real Jesus, before whom no man can stand when His anger is kindled.<br><br></blockquote><br><hr>Hotmail to go?
