 | "Jesus' Sermon on the Mount instructs us to not
return violence for violence; instead we should be like God, who
offers boundless, gratuitous love to all. But in the same Gospel
Jesus tells eight parables in which God deals violently with
evildoers. Which of the divine ways are we to imitate?" |

who get a special hearing from Jesus, Not only do they receive a
special hearing, but they seem to hear and see the possibilities in
his mission beyond what others see." |
