As Easter approaches, let us remember the role that Jesus Christ and God play in our lives. Let us also remember that Jews, Christians and Muslims all believe in God, and while there are ideological differences in who Jesus was, we should find peace in the fact that we are all God’s children. Jesus is my role model, and he preached love, he preached acceptance. He also was a man of values and principles, and he ended up being crucified for it. But, he rose again to advocate godly principles of loving our fellow man, caring about our neighbors, developing our God-given talents to the utmost so that we become valuable to the people around us, and maintaining high ideals that govern our lives.
We must make certain that people of all types of faith are respected by one another. Let us remember that the First Amendment to the United States Constitution is one of the basic pillars of our system of governance and a founding principle of our nation, as it protects religious freedom. It is critical that we allow Americans to practice their religious ways, while also ensuring that no one's beliefs infringe upon those of others.
Throughout the globe we must serve as champions of freedom of religion. As people across the world are persecuted by religious fanatics who perform hateful acts of ignorance, we Americans have a duty to denounce these acts of persecution. By standing up to such intolerance, we are defending the root of our freedom. I enjoy the following quote from the second Chronicles 7:14, “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins and will heal their land.”
He also was a man of values and principles, and he ended up being crucified for it.
He was crucified because he rightly claimed to be God.
Puzzled?.....he really said this?
Stick to medicine, Doc.
Amen Gamecock. His crucifixion was a two-fold purpose. One being the subject of Bible prophecy, that is, being crucified He rightly claimed to be God. And also a mystery, hid in God from before the foundation of the world: That His death would pay for the sins of each believer. The secret reason for the crucifixion. That was testified in due time.
Ben, your media exposure has expired, stop trying for more than your allotment. The next 15 minutes will not be kind.
OK I’m hurling. Ben retire and enjoy your hard earned money. We don’t need you running for President.
Yup. He jumped the shark as far as I’m concerned.
When do we sing Kumbaya?
“Let us remember that the First Amendment to the United States Constitution is one of the basic pillars of our system of governance and a founding principle of our nation, as it protects religious freedom.”
Yeah that always makes me hurl too....
/Not so much.
that early post 911 nonsense about mooselims... needs to be put out to pasture...way out to pasture
Yup, never did think he would fit the bill for POTUS.
You're posting a hurl alert?
Wtf is wrong with you people? Here's a guy that is accomplished, has an amazing intellect and background, is beyond reproach as a Christian and you're posting a hurl alert?
Good grief, no wonder we've become such losers. The circular firing squad of nitpicking: Alive and well on FR.......
Anyone who thinks Muslims worship the same God as we do is a moron
Good thing he's a doctor.
Heal thyself, Ben.

Morons, how have we become such morons?
Does anyone here actually think they have more accomplishments or character than this man?
GeronL: Shame on you.
Let us also remember that Jews, Christians and Muslims all believe in God, and while there are ideological differences in who Jesus was, we should find peace in the fact that we are all God’s children.
Do you really think all that separates Christians from Muslims is ideological differences in who Jesus was?
This is the same nonsesnse we get form the current commander in chief <spit>
He is a brilliant man, a role mode for many, but this shows his Christianity is very suspect.
