My Enemies Are Men Like Me
This is quite challenging in light of some of the responses that have resulted towards certain groups of people after 9/11. What do you feel that the Christian response should be to war and aggression by others?
Is the way of Jesus different from "The American Way?" Take a listen below.
I have hesitated to put this up because people will think that I'm somehow unpatriotic and I'm saying something about our troops, and I'm not. I'm asking that we think about the choices we make in our lives in light of Jesus and how he commanded us to respond and stop equating American political perspectives with God's perspective. Do we have separate political and religious lives and if we do can they be contradictory and are they contradictory?
Take a look at this article by Marcus Borg God's Non-Violent Revolutionary because it might help us think about it.
