Jesus is the ultimate norm of Christian existence; everything must be referenced to Him. If He is not the final standard against which the Church and the Christian must measure everything in order to determine if it is the will of God or not, then who or what is?
Rev. Emmanuel McCarthy ("The Nonviolent Eucharist")
Adoration of the Lamb, from MS Latin 14410, folio 6, created in Normandy, circa 1330. (x)
In this video police officers captured the suspect that stabbed Bichop Mar Mari Emmanuel.
Asking him who sent him and he obviously replied: “ I wouldn’t have come here if he only talked about his religion and not mentioning rassoulalah”
Which we found out he is a muslim. Even though Bichop Mar Mari Emmanuel gives his opinion from his Christianity point of view he never did approach and talked so bad about muslims or any of their muslim figures. In addition to, Several muslims and Imams talk about christianity spreading their opinions and false beliefs about us to their people and the world and even speaking bad and very poorly about Jesus Christ and Christianity, We have never acted this way to enter and stab and try to kill anyone.
I really believe there are good muslims out there. The father in the video when he asked him who sent you and the suspect replied to him that he came for a reason which is religion. He told him which religion, its shaytan (satan) and not Islam.
Because we believe that muslims and christians are brothers and sisters in this world, and they also believe in peace and no hatred or violence.
We are simply not build like that. May God Forgive you.
"Therefore you too have sorrow now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you."
He's coming back! You're celebrating His first coming now, and it's the most wonderful time of the year. Imagine how great it will be when the second, Eternal Christmas celebration starts.
If you have a moment to pray for Mar Mari Emmanuel, Bishop of the Church in Sydney, he got stabbed just today by a deranged sociopath. Some sources say he's in stable condition but we must still pray for him. He introduced us to Christianity and taught us important matters of the Word of God.

What is the right to be a human - not human rights - the right to be a human is the question, we need to ask and answer. What is the right to be a human - that is the purpose - if you can know the answer to what is the right to be a human, you found your purpose on earth. When you find your purpose, automatically you will be able to give it value. Human rights. What is the right to be human? To worship God! To fear the Lord! To be his Son. Not to be a Liar, a Killer, Pedophilia. Church Leaders and government leaders, cowards, pedophilia.
The Church will be the servant it is meant to be to humanity only to the extent that it is faithful to what it has been commanded to do internally, namely to "Love one another. As I have loved you, so you should love one another" [John 13:34b].

Jesus Washes An Apostles' Feet, by Laurie Olsen Lisonbee.
“For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon his shoulder,
and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
