CRIME SOLUTIONS discussed amongst Christians

the challenge:

“Crime has no zip code. It doesn't care about color, culture, race, religion, or neighborhood. Crime is a sin. We must work together to end it. We must pull our resources together to make this world a safer place to live. We can make a difference.” – Dr. Sinclair Grey III 12.18.12

“ don't believe we can end crime(sin) we can only contain it, We need to Teach the Word Harder and bring Back Bibles into schools and homes, Eliminate TV and be Families again! Justice Belongs to GOD and God Alone.” - Mary Morales

“It's also big business. How does the definition of crime apply to the military industrial complex, and corporations engaged in illegal business with governments?” – Gregory

“Again, We have to Pray and Do our part in Teaching About the Love of Jesus, I don't see how this is a government problem. Its a HUMAN Problem where way too many people don't care and Don't believe in Christ.”.- Mary Morales

“Everything is linked together, Mary. The challenge the good pastor put out, I believe, was focused on how we individually participate in resolving our social ills. Jesus was an on hands person. What are you going to do to make this a better way is the question.” – Gregory

“No it is NOT Mr. Woods, Jesus said give Caesar what belongs to Caesar... and once WE are chosen by God we no longer Belong to this world!!! My Part is to IMPART Love and Help where I can and Speak of Jesus and Win Souls!  May the Peace of God be with Mr. Woods.” – Mary

 “I see. That is good work, Mary.” – Gregory

“So true.” – Jennifer Harding-Williams

“The Great Commission, Matthew 28:16” – Mary

"... give Caesar what belongs to Caesar...?" There isn't a connection between this scripture reference (Matt. 12: 13-17) and the pastor's original challenge. Yours is an interesting, and a disturbing reaction to the challenge of our times. You might be a young woman, Mary, and not aware of the errors, and the historic challenge to the notion of "not being in the world!" You might be unaware of what has happened tragically in countless lives following the adage of being in the world and not of it throughout the centuries the world over! – Gregory

“Mr. Woods, What did Jesus command us to do?” – Mary

‘That is a broad subject, or is it?” – Gregory

“You didn't answer the question.” – Mary

"One of the things Jesus asked people to do was to tell the truth. He asked people to come to him as a child, to develop impeccability, love the Creator, respect and love neighbors, absorb and merge with divine teachings, study the prophets, pray, take care of people. He forced people to re-examine their narrow views on subjects as wide and varied as law, women, forgiveness, prayer, and politics. He interjected into common theology a line of demarcation when it comes to financial responsibility as above stated in Matt. 12:13-17.

He shed new light upon the initiatory tradition of the Hebrew people that was common amongst indigenous peoples. He taught enlightenment with a broad based foundation in traditional deep wisdom teachings from various influences of the Chaldeans, and the Egyptians, for an example. Upon further study Jesus’ life re-examined prophecy and one's relationship to prophesies. There are many things Jesus taught." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 12.18.12

“No. He commanded us to do something as His disciples and you did not answer that... keeper of stories.”

“Mary, this is a good place to stop. Wisdom says to leave well enough alone. Doesn't make sense to pretend lopsided theological discussions, or this conversation originally meant to be about solutions for a specific social problem will not descend into a diatribe. Out of respect for the process of sharing and learning it is best to recognize that the absence of the student is not the place for the teacher to share or teach. These are my words. I am Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories.” 12.19.12
