March 7, 2004 journal, I see no reason for the Jewish people to be upset at the movie Passion of The Christ. A local mob of people loyal to the high priest were instigated into demanding his crucifixion. That is like blaming all Southerners for slavery when in fact only 5 percent were involved in slave ownership and some of those were reported to be black slave owners. The Jewish people did not seem to me to be the target of this movie. They were not called Jews in those days of course. I never think of blaming the Jews for the death of Christ or for his suffering. Christ is divine and came to earth as a sacrificial lamb to atone for the sin of mankind. The majority of the Protestant Church I know for a fact holds Jews in highest regard because they believe that somehow the Jews will be soon forced into Christianity. I have discovered or have been enlightened in recent years that this is not the case. God will not force the Jewish people into the kingdom. Our next collaboration will be about the 'gathering' and it's not for the coming of the Lord but for destruction. We do not hold Germans responsible for what Hitler did nor do we hold the Japanese responsible for the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Second World War. We are not even holding the Nation of Islam or that is the 1 billion Islamic people responsible for destruction of the Trade Towers. We've managed to get along and coexist with all people of the world. I'm not defending the movie or Mel Gibson; I was busy trying to read all the printed text and may have missed some things in the message. He did show Christ as been resurrected but in a very weak way. Some say that the beatings were not exaggerated but very true to the custom of the day; to me it was more like a slaughterhouse. The Christian Protestant world at large considers Jews to be God’s favorite people but I disagree. The House of Israel may be but they will not be saved as a group but as individuals. Baghdad was rocked still again by heavy explosions today. There is no end in site for this evil war. The jury convicting Martha Stewart has no idea what is right and wrong, they are brain washed to say the least. This will no doubt backfire on b-u-s-h and women will be in the streets. The propaganda is so strong and the pressure on jurors is surely convincing. Gene Robinson is now a gay bishop in the Episcopal Church claiming to be God's man. The latter-day church is a mockery before God and it will soon all be over in the coming. Chalabi denies misleading U.S. into attacking Iraq. We are paying him $350,000 per month to make up false stories (quoting 60 minutes). We certainly have lost all our senses. Where do you go to find good health food in any town or countryside that is not loaded with sugar? Where do you carry kids that is not loaded with French fries, food that is made with hydrogenated oils. Where do you find water that is not full of poison chlorine and/or fluoride. This nation markets sugar and lets health go down the drain. Beware of food. Be aware of what is in your food and return to the garden to grow your own safe food supply. I am running from the television set which seems to damage my brain with the repetitive programs and commercials. Where can I hide to escape the mind control of the media? A 50 mi. an hour wind has blown my door open and scattered my art all over the place. A local boat has capsized and one man is missing at Lake Greenwood while he was fishing. Andy Rooney takes on Mel Gibson and Pat Roberson quoting Pat as saying he heard from God who told him that G W b-u-s-h will be reelected because he deserves to be. Here is Pat’s exact quote "I think GB is going to win in a walk. I'm hearing from the Lord that it’s going to be a blowout". "The movie by Mel Gibson called "The Passion of the Christ" is the other religious issue in the news. Everybody's talking about that. The question is whether the Jews killed Jesus-who was Jewish, of course”. More tomorrow.
