WWJD ?

He said to "love thy neighbors". He did not say to "kill your neighbors".

He said to "let the little children come to me". He did not say to "kill the little children".

Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers." He did not say say "blessed are those that seek revenge and retribution".

Jesus' teachings superseded the "eye for an eye" teachings of the Old Testament.

For those that say Jesus is "too weak" in the reality of this world, they cannot call themselves Christians.

We all know what Jesus taught, and the killing and retribution that we see today, is not it.

This, from the guy who said he was bringing a sword to divide people, who beat up non-violent people because they 'offended' him, and who chastised other Jews for not murdering disobedient children.

Oh yeah--and wants to torture people forever for not agreeing with him.

Yeah, I'm really gonna listen to that guy about being non-violent and peaceful.

We changed the slogan so now every time I see one of these bracelets or necklaces that say WWJD I think “What’s with J. D.?”

Works better.
