#SermonOnTheMount

2025-09-17

“For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes (Matthew 5). But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course, that's Moses, not Jesus. I haven't heard one of them demand that the #SermonOnTheMount, the #Beatitudes, be posted anywhere. 'Blessed are the merciful' in a courtroom? 'Blessed are the peacemakers' in the Pentagon? Give me a break!”

John Fugelsang critiques how figures like Mike Johnson misinterpret Christianity. He argues that the essence of Jesus' teachings, especially in the Sermon on the Mount, is rooted in compassion and dignity, not in the cruelty some justify. The disconnect between evangelical rhetoric and true Christian values is startling. Discover more about this compelling discussion and its implications.

"Welcome to My World" is a #popularMusicStandard written by Ray Winkler and John Hathcock and recorded by many artists, most notably #JimReeves. Eddie McDuff likely contributed to the melody. A traditional love song, the bridge includes lyrics taken from #Matthew778 ("Knock and the door will open; seek and you will find; ask and you'll be given ... ," from the #SermonOnTheMount).

If you don't want us to think you're racist, stop doing racist things and stop supporting people doing racist things.

We must reckon with the fact that a
significant number of Americans won’t pay
for hungry kids to get lunch or sick kids to get
healthcare, but they will pay $500,000 to a
white woman for calling a 5-year-old Black
kid the n-word.

We also must reckon with the fact that the
vast majority of these people identify as
Christian.

William Jay, English Congregationalist, on raising the widow’s son (2 Kings chapter 8). Her land was taken and the king restores it as well as the lost harvests. Nothing is beneath God’s notice. While no “miracle” here, the story shows God’s priorities.

Are we to care about insignificant people’s rights and property when there are great kingdoms with godly purposes to run?

How can you look after the rights of the poor?

So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, 'Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now! "Everything in our world is providential. Our Saviour teaches us that nothing is beneath His notice, however minute.... In a word, though it be not miraculous, it is marvel-lous, and shows much of the agency of God….."

I hope we are witnessing the end of Christianity.
Funny thing is that it wasn't #Atheiest or #Atheism to defeat them.
It is the "Christians" themselves that are destroying their religion.

In an interview with NPR, Evangelical Christian leader Russell Moore said that multiple pastors had told him disturbing stories about their congregants being upset when they read from the "Sermon on the Mount" in which Jesus espoused the principles of forgiveness and mercy that are central to Christian doctrine.

"Multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount - [and] to have someone come up after to say, 'Where did you get those liberal talking points?"

Moore added: "And what was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, 'I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ.' the response would be, "Yes, but that doesn't work anymore. That's weak."

> But whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also..
> And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

> The meaning of these lines is anything but passive for it suggests that evil can be made absurd through excess...
