My "Jesus Loves Osama" post - from MY perspective- had nothing to do with politics.
I recognise that the left-leaning churches attempt to realise God's Kingdom on Earth through
"Social Justice", which ultimately springs from Socialist Liberation Theology.
This is one reason why I attempt to keep things on a firm Biblical base.
Regardless of what motivated the Offending Signage, the WORDS were utterly correct.
Reminds me of Paul's attitude in Phillipians regarding those who were preaching the Gospel from less-than-pure motives:
15 Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ even from envy and strife, but some also from good will;We live in a depraved and degenerate world. Contradiction and paradox rule the day, but the Gospel remains a clarion call to a Kingdom of Life, Light, and eternal verity.
16the latter do it out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel;
17the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition rather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me distress in my imprisonment.
18What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice...
Our proclamations declare to whom we owe fealty. I desire to be clearly walking in the Light.
