“Jesus shows us that it is love that overcomes evil “
How’s that “love” working out for you in this election? You got your ass handed to you.
You contradict yourself. On one hand “love” triumphs, however, you then claim Jesus used physical force to drive out the moneylenders. Trust me on this, love isn’t going to get you anything but dead in a liberal world. I value life so I won’t be counting on love to keep me safe.
You completely misunderstand; it was not that Jesus didn't love the monylenders (he died for them too) but that he loves God, both foremost and perfectly. -- It's the difference between 'nice' ("oh, just leave them alone, you don't want to upset them") and 'kindness' ("they're defiling the temple, this sort of thing will only lead them and others to dishonor God -- that is unacceptable").
Trust me on this, love isn’t going to get you anything but dead in a liberal world. I value life so I won’t be counting on love to keep me safe.
I'm not talking about the hippy "good-vibes man" 'love', I'm talking about real love. That you are so dismissive of love only indicates to me that you have never really been loved (and that is an indictment of the people in the Church, not you).
