One Way Is Right


Killing people using criminal activity ( like unpopular terrorizing attacks ) or using politically sanctioned criminal activity ( like popular military terrorizing attacks ); do these methods teach people, beckon obedience and bring peace? 

If these methods worked, the world would already be at peace.

“Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.”

“Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.”

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”

Capital punishment, coup d'etats, police brutality and human methods of ‘justice,’ do these methods stop people from doing wrong?

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’  But I tell you, do not resist an evil person.  If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.  And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well.  If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles.  Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.”

Man’s way fails, comes up short, leaves others hurt and leaves a trail of injustice confused as justice.

God’s Way succeeds, completes, leaves people whole and leaves a trail of justice called righteousness.

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’  But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven.  He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.”

How can the world recognize love, truth and peace when love, truth and peace is not applied?

With God this is possible.
