"Whatsoever you do to the least of My brethren, that you do unto Me."

I wonder why Jesus didn't make a spectacle of Himself storming the gates of courts that were handing down underserved sentences?

These people who claim to represent Christianity with this bizarre behavior are an embarrassment.

Dear Jorge,

This man wasn't storming the gates of any courts. He was trying to give water to a woman dying of thirst.

As for Jesus, He did take a whip to the moneychangers in the temple.

Perhaps to you, to me they represent the Church Militant.

Christianity and Christians themselves and their actions , have always been considered bizzare by the world.

If such an act of attempted kindness, seems bizzare to you, perhaps it is you who has problems.

Jesus didn't do that because he knew it was preordained by God the Father that he would die for our sins.

The manner of the messiah's persecution and death was forecast by the prophets of the Old Testament; and Jesus was aware of what was to come.

Terri, OTOH, is not Jesus. According to Christian belief, as I understand it, we have already been saved by the one and only sacrifice necessary for our redemption.

Of course, Terri IS being sacrificed --but at the altar of New Age-ism (read: paganism), led by its spiritual leader George Soros Felos.

Some of Jesus' behavior would be considered bizarre by today's standards. Knocking over tables and driving people out with whips? Standing with a complete stranger and making a paste with mud and spit, putting it on his eyes and telling him where to go? He'd be hauled away for observation or practicing medicine without a license or something.
