Jesus' Kingdom versus Worldly Kingdom
Four Quick Thoughts: two quotes that stand out to me in the first chapter of this book, one from the Salvation Army Song Book, and a thought from me .
The first quote: "My Kingdom is not from this world."--Jesus
The next quote: "For the church to be a community that does not need war in order to give itself purpose and virtue puts the church at odds with nations...The battle is one we fight with the gospel weapons of witness and love, not violence and coercion."--Resident Aliens: Life in a Christian Colony.
From the Song Book: "We shall not lose the fight of faith, For Jesus is our Lord, we lay all carnal weapons down to take his shining sword."--SA Song Book #701
From me: A southern boy from the red states wondering???...can love be a response to terrorism?...is love God and is God love?...and if so, is love God's response for terrorism?

Can love be a reponse to terrorism? Yes. The only effective one.
Is love God? No.
Is God love? Yes.
Is love God's response to terrorism? Is there another way to read the gospels?
Just my quick 2 cents.
Grace,
Aaron
How do you spell love? ICBM... kidding...good word...there's a song in there somewhere
