I often have the impression that we do not always correctly interpret Jesus’ teachings.
What if my neighbor wants to kill me? Should I allow him/her to do so?
If that were so, the human race would not survive and only evil would be victorious.
Somewhere He said: “If your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out... etc.”
If I were to pluck my eye out because it caused me to sin, I would have been blind a long time ago and I would have been guilty of self-mutulation — something that is a very grave sin. So, what is it?
And this was from a Christian website — not even a Catholic website.
Go figure!
Well if I defend my life from a Muslim attacker and shoot and kill him I will not be jumping for joy on the outside but I may feel like the Muzzie had it coming which may not be the Christian thing to do but what do you want me to do? Lie about it and sin twice?...: )
