You know what both sides of this war need? Jesus Christ. They need Jesus Christ.

Isn't religious beef the reason why most of this bullshit is happening?
That would be why I laugh reacted this.
They dont have Christ my friend.
You don't need Christ to have a good heart. You don't need religion to make you a better person. You only need yourself and the way you treat others.
This is obvious. At the same time Jesus fixes these issues.
That's what I'm saying, he's not necessary.
How? Were talking about evil people. Youre saying they can choose to be good. But they dont.... they need Jesus.. like yesterday
You do not need to have jesus to be good, brother. People need to be more aware of the fact that the quarrels of their "masters" are not their own.
You are silly for real. Jesus is always necessary. Wheather you are good or evil you need Jesus
Correct. This is why they need Jesus Christ and not their religious beef.
Hmmm
Granted I don't really know what religions are popular over there, but isn't Islam and Judaism just branches of Christianity anyways. They both follow Jesus Christ, so I don't really think having more Jesus is going to fix their problems.
Granted, this is just an opinion of someone who's non-religious, but I seriously think less religion might actually do them some good. I'm also pretty ignorant as to what's going on over there so you can take my opinion with a grain of salt. 😅
more religion is probably not the solution i would provide.
Not talking about religion. They need Jesus.
You are literally talking about following a religious figure. Please explain to me how that's different.
I was never raised religious, I don't understand religion, but to me, as a non-religious person saying that somebody needs Jesus, sounds like you're telling them that they need religion.
To better understand i would learn first about Christ and his teachings.
😑🙄
Christ is not “religion” ok?
No, Christ was (maybe) a man. Christianity is the religion based on Christ's teachings. I know Christians with more hate in their hearts than any atheist or agnostic I know. Christ is not the answer. Being kind and respectful of your fellow earthlings (not just humans) is the answer.
No? You’re trolling
I call out hate when I see hate. I call out love when I see love. I call out unkindness when I see unkindness. I call out compassion when I see compassion. We are on the same side, you and me. We both want peace and kindness around the globe but we do not see it happening in the same manner. The man named Christ in the storybook called the Bible is a good and kind and just man. That does not mean that everyone should believe he was magical. That does not mean that just believing in him and his word will solve all problems. That is a very narrow view of this world. Seeing our neighbors with struggles and plights just like we have and helping them in spite of our own troubles, that's what we need. Sharing, caring, compassion, courtesy, and above all love for our fellow creatures, you don't need a character in a book for that.
I cant even finish reading your comment. Jesus is the Christ. The son of God. Nothing magical about that. Its real as ever.
I rather not contend with you. I agree with both want peace around the world. I hope you can respect my beliefs. I respect your opinions.
I never said I didn't respect you. I just don't agree with your views on a religious figure being the solution to religious wars.
Following the example Christ set (being willing to die to save those who hate you) is what it means to be Born Again. Most people who claim to be Christian are not born again.
Okay, but in my mind Christ is a religious figure. So you're saying that following the teachings of one specific person who is so deeply interwoven with Christianity as a religion, It's specifically different than a religion. Correct?
I'm sorry if I sound like an idiot. I'm genuinely trying to understand here.
Not trying to argue or anything btw.
Here is a definition I found: religion: the belief in and worship of a superhuman power or powers, especially a God or gods
Religion is the belief in and worship of.
Jesus Christ is that God we believe in and worship.
Does that explain the difference? Hope that helps.
Unfortunately no that really doesn't clear things up but I appreciate it and thank you.
Exactly. They need to embrace God, Jesus and Holy Spirit.
Our Christian brothers and sisters are being killed and harassed by both sides unfortunately. Doing a pilgrimage to the Holy Land is impossible now
Maybe what they both need is a pork chop
Amen
