Jesus did indeed turn the other cheek....but he also overturned the tables of the moneychangers in the temple. He also stood in front of the adulteress and told the crowd that only he who was without since should cast the first stone. Christ is multi-faceted.

If we believe that the spirit is a real entity (which of course I do), than each man woman and child possesses within him and herself spirit(s) whether of the Lord or of the demonic variety. So the commandment to test the spirits is essentially a commandment to test mere men.Gary Ceresnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115278.post-25961415787302317202009-05-13T21:37:00.000-04:002009-05-13T21:37:00.000-04:00I have been a friend to Chris along time.

I agree that Johnny Roberts and Tim England are not the best of people to represent Christians everywhere. Is it my place to say they are not Christians no.

He's showing zeal for Christ tempered in love and conviction. Chris is being a missionary with it to those without Christ and he is undoing the bad of people like Tim England and Johnny Robertson.
