| Runa216: > ["Why is it that so many people resort to violence?"]
The reason people resort to violence is that they refuse to believe and do Jesus commandments.
"You shall love the lord your God with all your heart, and all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." - (Matt.:22:37-40).
"A new commandment I give unto you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. (John 13:34-35).
"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say unto you, "Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you. - ( Matt.5:43-48 )
" He who says, 'I know Jesus', and does not keep His commandments, is a liar and the truth is not in Him." - (1 John 2:4-6 )
Pres. GW. Bush has said, "Freedom will bring about Peace; Freedom leads to Peace; Freedom is the basis for Peace". But the 'Man of Peace' says "Love will bring about Peace; Love leads to Peace; Love is the basis for Peace".
Why do people believe what Pres. GW. Bush said, but not what the 'Man of Peace' says?
Peace be with you, Paul |
