Really Tough Love
|
|
There's a great quote today courtesy of Rev. David Clippard speaking at the Missouri Baptist Convention's annual meeting in St. Louis. While his speech was littered with anti-Islamic statements, his comments afterwards were perplexing to say the least:
Clippard said Tuesday that his message was really about love."I don't hate Islamic people," he said. "We need to love these folks, go after them and love them, one at a time. We need to crucify them with Christ."
And here I thought the crucifixion was a *bad* thing when really it was just a little "tough love" by the Romans. My question is are 2x4's now considered acceptable gifts for a 5th or "wood" anniversary?
OUCH!
I thought that the "crucifixion" was a metaphorical, self-imposed one in Christian doctrine (like jihad being internal struggle). I didn't know that it was legal to crucify other people. Learn something new every day...
