Table Talk



I enjoy the breakfast table visits with dad....
Here is a sample of a mornings talk at the table....

So.... say you're going to write a best seller it is going to have the good guy. It's also going to have the really evil guy... Yes there are going to be other villains that will be weaved in and out of the story but ultimately good defeats bad if you are to have a best seller.... (Good premise) So now you open the New Testament.... Here you have the birth of the GOOD guy Jesus.... then there is a villain Hared who chases Jesus to Egypt where the greatest library in the world is (himmmm would make for a good upbringing for a child prodigy that has a bucket full of gold frankincense and Mir.) Our hero lives a life of obscurity for 30 years and then shows up on the scene to pick followers. His band of merry men will carry on his teachings. He says things like 'if it were not so I would have told you.... and I have other flocks that you nothing about.... We see that he is especially hard on the Jewish church leaders who have found ways to live above the people that they are to serve. Who also were the rich at this time in Israel (mainly crooked tax collectors and the "clergy".) Jesus had a real hate for them, yes the Romans were villains and Jesus comment was 'give unto Caesar what is Caesars but give unto GOD what is Gods.' So...who was the true villain we would have to see that it was the purse holder of his own group. Judas had been looking after Jesus money for 3 years and he saw that it was disappearing. Jesus knew Gods plan and it did not include making Judas a wealthy man and when Judas was going to be exposed as a wealthy man he betrayed Jesus with a kiss... now doesn't that seal the deal. Today look around at the wealthy religious leaders who are the ones making bank on writing theological letters like Peter and Paul but they are charging for every letter or book they write today...or those that are running multi million dollar churches and organizations and have planes and mansions to live in.... Why some of the most perverse people in the world are the child molesting priests that are hidden in the cloth of the catholic church.... and now with the allowance of preachers to be homosexuals.... why the church in Africa is sending missionaries to the united states to tell us if that is our practice then we are no longer followers of Jesus' teachings and need to be saved.


Some things just need to be thought about....
