politicized religion

whilst reading the article it talked about how the sculpture could not find a home and was rejected by some churches as being controversial or to vague

well last time we checked there was no official picture of jesus only artistic impressions and artistic twists

but what also came to mind is that people were not used to this kind of portrayal
and this seems to have motivated some churches against the sculpture

mark 2 v 17
On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

New Living Translation (©2007)
When Jesus heard this, he told them, "Healthy people don't need a doctor--sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners."

matthew 19 v 24

Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy

matthew 6 v 19

which was confirmed when i told them jesus was for the poor 

he ate and conversed with sinners 

the people at the bottom of social ladders and castes

and was against materialism

and even pointed out that it will make it harder for you to get to heaven

yet there are some churches whose sermons revolve around the monetary issue

and the divisions in christianity have lead some to have skipped out on their history and how political and powerful it was 

and it was for the opposite of who you picture as faces of it now

with phrases as the meek shall inherit the earth 

got me thinking how many meek people do i find 

mattthew 18 v 21 to 22

²¹ Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”

²² Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.

with that much forgiving how could anyone wage war in the name of christianity

which brought me to the fact most people do not read 

i will leave you with this 

some may say blasphemy
