2. I do not agree with everything said in sites, etc., that I link to. (I do tend to agree with what I myself say.)
3. Unless otherwise noted, Bible quotations are from the New International Version.

Jesus named wicked ways

Jesus Named Wicked Ways (9 Examples) – See What Bothers Him About Us! ◦

Posted: August 24, 2023

Jesus named wicked ways … explicitly.  That is, Jesus of Nazareth himself was explicit 1000 years after God said to Solomon that His people must “turn from your wicked ways”. Jesus was explicit 2000 years before we go on not caring what he said.

Posted: August 14, 2023

[Mainstream churches – often called mainline – might be good for you. This is from a reader back in 2005.  More true today. My 2023 notes are in brackets like this sentence.]

Jesus and social justice.

Was Social Justice Part of Jesus’ Message? Oh Yes. 4 Scriptures.

Posted: June 20, 2023

What does Jesus say about social justice? I’m not going to argue percentages here. Let’s just see some very clear things he said so we can deliberately choose to believe in him – or not.

About PublicChristian

Posted: January 30, 2023

I’m very concerned about how the Gospel and Scripture are (mis)represented in popular culture, religious media, and the churches. It’s also a great concern how truth in general is misrepresented …

Your habit and cherished thought - Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain

Spiritual Tune-up. YOUR “HABIT and Cherished Thought.” (Gen J L Chamberlain)

Posted: January 20, 2019

The importance of habit was not only Chamberlain’s theory, you know, like we all say cliches about life. He lived it. This is from his explanation of why he was truly ready at a crucial moment during the Civil War’s Battle of Gettysburg.

Nonviolence - Turn the Other Cheek MEANS Resist Them Non-Violently

Nonviolence. Turn the Other Cheek MEANS Resist Courageously, Non-Violently

Posted: October 18, 2016

Should Christians practice resistance, practice nonviolence? Is it ever appropriate for Christ-followers to resist people in authority? There is much in the behavior of prominent influencers, including politicians, that cries out for criticism and resistance.

Christian Theocracy (Some Religious Group Runs the Government) – We’d Regret this Nightmare for Democracy.

Posted: September 21, 2006

I am a church person, a person of Christiain faith, but opposed to Christian theocracy (or any kind!). I don’t think we need rulers who rule as if they were God.

Cover for Evil: Machiavelli, Ledeen, Bush, and Jesus

Posted: April 27, 2005

A recent comment questioned a post I made about the morality of Machiavelli’s principles, as against what Jesus taught and practised. These are very basic issues of political morality.

Wislawa Szymborska, poem: Cleaning Up The Mess(es)

Posted: April 23, 2005

This poet puts things so matter-of-factly, and sees so realistically. I see this applying to more than military activities – see after the poem.

Why Many Christians Do Not Vote Republican

Posted: February 10, 2005

The problems remain. This was written 20 years ago!
We (and I) have learned some things since then.  But Wow!  The problems remain, and have grown; which means these things still need thinking and talking about. They need criticism.

Is Jesus a Republican? Is Jesus a Liberal?

Posted: August 14, 2004

As far as we know, Jesus never directly mentioned either homosexual behavior or abortion / infanticide. And we can be sure that’s not because he cared nothing for moral or social issues. He cared a great deal.
