(Part 2) Jesus came to fulfill the Law (Matt 5:17-18). His Gospel emphasized love because Jews were following the Law (Justice) alone until that time & ignored love. The equal importance of love & justice is well illustrated in Ex. 34:6-7. Jesus did not deviate from this.

Part 4 - Jesus gives us peace (Jn 14:27) or swords (Matt 10:34)? Contextual interpretation (Cont.). In John's Gospel, he was summarizing his entire ministry & his overall purpose & was to bring peace to us. We, however, should expect conflicts in the process of evangelization.

(Part 3) I also thank Brother Scott for complaining about this doggedly so that I came to the realization that I broke my own rule by quoting living persons in illustration of the principle I wanted to convey. Thanks, Scott.

Part 3 - Jesus gives us peace (Jn 14:27) or swords (Matt 10:34)? Proper interpretation requires proper understanding of contexts. In Matt, Jesus was sending out his Apostles for evangelism training, & telling them to be aware of potential conflicts with unbelievers. (Cont.)

(Part 1) I repent. I broke my own rule: never quote a living person for a negative example for the principle we are trying to convey. I quoted the example of Clarence and Ginni Thomas. I tried to convey that justice should accompany love, not love alone for the Gospel message.

Seeking your high opinion. Jesus said "My peace I give you" (Jn 14:27) & also said "I have not come to bring peace but a sword" (Matt 10:34). In Lk 12:51, he said he did not come to bring peace but division. How do you interpret these verses? Did Jesus have a split personality?

Part 1 - Jesus gives us peace (Jn 14:27) or swords (Matt 10:34)? My friend Frank N's answer: The synoptic authors express the Jewish apocalyptic worldview. The author of John expresses the Gnostic idea of the Holy Spirit. One should not expect the ideas to match.

No former US President had a single criminal charge in the US history, not to mention about the six charges Trump had. The law and the constitution must come before politics and the personal character of a candidate is more important than just the policy alone.

New Answer (Part 2) on why Jesus did not leave anything written. 3. God is the most rational being. Jesus wanted Christians to imitate God in this respect. 4. Judaism+Islam: their founders wrote something, forcing them to follow what's written instead of thinking rationally.

Two things matter when we elect our officials: Personal Character & Poplicies. Most people decide whom they want to vote for by looking at policies alone. Policies can be changed easier than the personal character. Once a crook gets in, he/she could do a great damage.

Another opinion I want to receive from all people. Jesus Quoted the Old Testament 78 times & never criticized the OT. Why? He did away 80 to 90 % of the OT in the Gospel. Why did he quote the OT? Does it make sense to you? Waiting for your response.

The Bible teaches "wages for work," not "guaranteed wage with no work." Deut 25:4, Luk 10:7, Rom 4:4, 1Cor 3:8, 1Tim 5:18. AOC plan is good for compassion, but it takes away incentives to work. She should revise the plan so that people would have incentives to seek work+wages.
