His arrogance is breathtaking.
Giuliani may be Catholic, or not, or a nominal Catholic. He may even think of himself as a Christian (though I have never heard him use that term).
But I see nothing in him that indicates his belief in Jesus Christ, and his faith in Christ for forgiveness of his sin, has transformed his life or rules his life.
What I see is a "religious" person.
The group of people who really hated Jesus were the religious folks. They're the ones who wanted to live by a set of rules, rules they could interpret for themselves. That sounds a lot like Giuliani.
One message we Christians really need to get out is, Chrisitianity is NOT a religion, at least not in the respect most folks think. Jesus actually abolished religion (which I'll loosely define as a set of laws, or precepts, or principles, that we must live by in order to reach God, or please him, or attain some special consciousness).
The Gospel is the opposite of that. The Gospel says, "You cannot reach God by any set of rules, laws, principles, or teachings. God loves you and come to earth as a man to do these things on your behalf, and then give you credit for them. You must trust in the historical Jesus completely, and what he did, and rest in that for salvation.
Pro 3:7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
Pro 12:15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
Pro 16:2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.
Pro 21:2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts.
Pro 30:12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.
Isa 5:21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
His arrogance is breathtaking.
It’s true. I am walking around my kitchen this morning, trying to catch my breath, after reading this post.
