Too bad that part got left out at some point – seems pretty important if we are trying to love our neighbors!

Comment on Identification with Us by alisonthesp

Here is an issue that always raises a question in my mind. If Jesus was sinless, then was he truly human? Or is it the opposite – are humans capable of sinlessness? The logic of saying Jesus was sinless is befuddling when we are expected to believe he was fully human – this sounds more godly than human. (Adult Forum II got to hear my rant on this a few weeks back…)

Comment on Outreach Groups & Projects @ St. Paul’s by David Nealy

I suggest including “Support of Osman Hope Ministry to Honduran children” as an Outreach topic for this sesction. Osman Hope received $2700 from the profits of the St. Paul’s Bazaar, and several parishioners are active supporters of this ministry. Osman Hope established four day shelters in San Pedro Sula for “street children”or “latch key” children who had no adult supervision for the half day or more they were not in school. Most receive breakfast and lunch on weekdays.

Jay, I don’t think I ever encountered the story of the Syrophoenician woman. Could this story perhaps have been simply a clever play on words to illustrate either the author’s sense of humor or Jesus’ sense of irony? I guess I never considered that Jesus had to “learn” his mission on earth as he went, but that would be further evidence of his very real humanity, wouldn’t it! Thank you for making me think about the gospel.

If only we as Christians today could be as loving and understanding.

Comment on The Akeda by Rebecca Paluzzi

In this passage, what I hear coming through is the very last part of God’s statement to Abraham: “because you have obeyed me.”
It is clear that have all received this blessing through one man’s faithfulness and obedience ages ago. How would our lives be different to day if Abraham had made a different choice? It makes me realize the potential widespread ramifications of my choices to obey or not.

Comment on Of Interest to Episcopalians: Diane Rehm Segment by Karen Mills

I listened to this yesterday – it was very interesting. She is a very thought-filled priest/now bishop. I am betting exciting things are in store for the Diocese of Washington.

I think Jesus says this tounge and cheek. In fact, most scholars are clear that “cast him out…” is an addition by Matthew. He does so in 5 places in his Gospel and it is found nowhere else but once in Luke.
