“The Catholics believe in Moses and Abraham, and Jesus (as the Son of God), the Reformers and Protestants believe in Moses and Abraham, and Jesus (as the Son of God), Evangelicals believe in Moses and Abraham, and Jesus (as the Son of God), Mormons believe in Moses and Abraham, and Jesus (as the Son of God), Judaism believes in Moses and Abraham, and Jesus (as a great prophet), Islam believes in Moses and Abraham, and Jesus (as a great prophet), even Hinduism and Buddhism suggest there is some interwoven force for good out there somewhere (which could be construed to be somewhat similar to the feelings of the very few founding fathers mentioned above).”
Actually, a few corrections are needed:
to Catholics, Protestants, Evangelicals- Jesus is God, The Son.
to Mormons- Jesus is the son of Heavenly Father, just like you and I are (in fact, even Heavenly Father is just an exalted man himself)
to Jews- Jesus is the heretical bastard son of Mary and an unnamed soldier (see Talmud, also maybe book of John chapter 8)
to Islam- Jesus was one in a line of prophets each trumped by the next ending with Mohammed, the final say... and now they seek to kill Jesus’ followers (along with Abraham’s).
As for the panantheists, and Pagans, who cares? “All is god and god is all.”
And Confucius- human nature has not changed since the beginning, same problems, same mistakes, same consequences... he was an excellent observer and writer of human nature.
That’s just my take on it..
Love Alan, voted for him in 2000 primaries.. wish he had never come out in favor of tax credits for slave descendants. That was his political death knell. Too bad.
Nah. He’s not dead until God says he’s dead.
What he said on that subject has been twisted and misinterpreted by his enemies, especially in the Democrat Media.
But, what is ironic, is that the same people who use this particular talking point against him are generally two things: 1) Folks who just can’t find anything else of substance to attack him on. Which is pretty remarkable after his decades of national speaking to the issues. And, 2) People who will without blinking support one of these other candidates who are completely wrong on a range of issues that Dr. Keyes is absolutely right on about.
When I see it, I call it what it is: hypocrisy.
