Jesus looked at him and loved him. "One thing you lack," he said. "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." Mark 10:21
Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Luke 6:30
Where is the moral outrage (not to mention thousands of dollars and hours spent agonizing) over the non-literal observation of verses like the above?
(An easy target, I know, but all I have time for today. And still pertinent to the discussion, I say.)

There is no moral outrage, as those verses affect the majority, and they are too hard to here. It comes down to the log in the eye thing... ie if I see someone else's sin, I will pound on them, I choose not to see my own.
ReplyDeleteI saw an interesting tweet yesterday, when a fellow asked. Is it a threat to capitalism when millions of Christians take the eucharist? Afaik, no response, no outrage, either it hit home, or it was ignored.
