I have a friend who believes that because I am Jewish and she is ‘loosely christian’ as she claims, that it’s okay to steal from my house and my kids.
She thinks its okay because I have ‘denied Jesus’ and so therefore I am evil and I need to be punished. But something tells me that if she believes the bible, she would know that even on Christian standards she is the one who is behaving badly. As I recall in the Christian story, Jesus said to obey the commandments, one of them being to NOT STEAL. It doesn’t say, ‘thou shalt not steal, except from the Jewish people’. Nor does it say ‘thou shalt not bear false witness, except when the person you’re lying about is Jewish’. Or even, ‘do unto others as you would have them do unto you, except those Jews.’ It says:
Thou shalt not steal. (That means ever and it means everybody.)
Thou shalt not bear false witness. (Period.)
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. (First stated in Leviticus and copied by Jesus.)
So I guess my christian former best friend is burning in hell later, right?
