“The question should not be 'What would Jesus do?' but rather, more dangerously, 'What would Jesus have me do?' The onus is not on Jesus but on us, for Jesus did not come to ask semidivine human beings to do impossible things. He came to ask human beings to live up to their full humanity; he wants us to live in the full implication of our human gifts, and that is far more demanding.” WantShouldHumansHumanityAsksJesusHuman BeingsImpossibleWant UImplicationsImpossible Things Author:Peter J.

“For Jesus, it is clear, poverty is not the problem; it is the solution. Until human beings learn to live in naked contact and direct simplicity and equality with each other, sharing all resources, there can be no solution to the misery of the human condition and no establishment of God's kingdom. Jesus' radical and paradoxical sense of who could and who could not enter the Kingdom is even more clearly illustrated by his famous praise of children.” HumansChildrenProblemJesusHuman BeingsPovertyClearConditionsSolutionsResourcesDirectPraiseMiserySimplicityKingdomsNakedContactRadicalEstablishmentHuman ConditionParadoxical Author:Andrew Harvey
“There is a fundamental difference between Jesus and Muhammad and their teachings. When the Jews brought a prostitute to Christ and asked him what to do with her because the law says stone her, Jesus said, let the one who has not committed any sin throw the first stone.
