Well glad you cleared that up.
You should be a therapist. Better yet, an ambassador.
No - you should be a preacher. People need to hear you teach that all of that stuff about Jesus' compassion is misinterpretation. Jesus would never have been compassionate - there's simply no need. Jesus took nails in his hands to show us we need to stop whining. He hung on the cross, all blood and nailed up, and yelled out, "Hey, wimps, look at me. Am I whining? So shut up, I'm sick of all your weakness. Your weakness is your fault, and I'm not going to accept it anymore."
Yeah, preacher. You'd be great.
Juuuuuust great.
Because, like, you're so tough.
And everything.
Yeah, well, tell ya what......go get your ass kicked and lay it at Jesus’ feet.
Guess bullies aren’t the only cowards. Your attitude is worse than disgusting.
You’re the guy I used to have to go bail out of scrapes.
People ask the same thing today. Technically WWJD isn’t a good question here. Until the time for the Cross came up, Jesus was always able to walk peacefully through hostile crowds. Jesus’ final instructions to the disciples before being betrayed were to take a couple of swords, and these weren’t for sabre dances. Jesus knew that they would not always have a hatful of miracles to call on like He did. So what would turning the other cheek and walking the second mile mean? I think it would mean to accommodate demanding people as long as the situation did not become unsustainable, or you would have to sin or leave other valid commitments undone. Pushy people and frank bullies aren’t the same thing.
OTOH, what is our suffering compared to what He suffered on the cross for us? He took our place and endured all that we deserved. So yeah, basically, take a page from the Bible and keep your heart and mind focused on Christ and shut up already about yourself. That's how it was explained to me.
