THE EIGHT BEATITUDES OF JESUS

"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they who mourn,
for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure of heart,
for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called children of God.

Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."


So, David, please tell me where Jesus said to turn and run with your
tail between your legs? Tell me where it says to throw up your hands
and quit trying to make things better. Tell me how you make peace from
a point of total cowardice? I have read the bible cover to cover a
number of times and I have found nothing that says a Christian is to be
a cowardly quitter.

Pft.

Luke 22:36

"But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have
a sword, sell your cloak and buy one."
