Matthew 4:17<br /><br /> For amen I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one tittle shall not pass of the law, till all be fulfilled. Matthew 5:18<br /><br />For I tell you, that unless your justice abound more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:20<br /><br /> But I say to you, that whosoever is angry with his brother, shall be in danger of the judgment. And whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council. And whosoever shall say, You fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Matthew 5:22<br /><br />Be at agreement with your adversary betimes, whilst you are in the way with him: lest perhaps the adversary deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison. 26 Amen I say to you, you shall not go out from thence till you repay the last farthing. Matthew 5:25<br /><br />But I say to you, that whosoever shall look on a woman to lust after her, has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Matthew 5:29<br /><br />And if your right hand scandalize you, cut it off, and cast it from you: for it is expedient for you that one of your members should perish, rather than that your whole body go into hell. Matthew 5:30Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08332138030182107580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27612445.post-9440483120218103232010-12-25T20:23:28.569-06:002010-12-25T20:23:28.569-06:00Blessed Christmas to you, MichaelBlessed Christmas to you, MichaelCathy_of_Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16795566831031491371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27612445.post-74888223006757105332010-12-25T12:39:58.991-06:002010-12-25T12:39:58.991-06:00A Peace-filled season with joy and happiness in th...A Peace-filled season with joy and happiness in the coming year be to you and yours!<br /><br />Thanks for using the John Dear article in your Christmas message. John is a good man and a great teacher. I was privileged to attend a week long conference given by John at Ghost Ranch in NM. It was on the works of Gandhi, King, Merton and Day. The modern day ancestors of the nonviolent movement.<br /><br />What a great holiday present to get recently with the repeal of the DADT laws. Good things come to those who work for justice...<br /><br />Peace and happiness!MarkNDenvernoreply@blogger.com
