Reply #41: Not really.

It is men, who don't fear God, using His word to further their personal agendas that is causing the division and animosity.

Nothing in the Bible, and certainly not the teachings that Jesus left for us, has anything to do with the craziness that abounds in today's society. Any cursory reading of the New Testament will reveal that the same kinds of men were in control of the establishment of Jerusalem back in the day. It's Worldly politics and the people that are driving it that is the problem.

The last U.S. politician I can think of that sincerely feared God is probably Jimmy Carter. We all see where that got him. Oh well, he's still one of the finest men I've ever met.
