What to defind the Charitcer of My Lord?
He does not need any help from me! He is God!


Hmmm Bro… you sound as if you are looking for an Argument.  However
consider the following if you will… Does this man sound like a Liberal?

1 Pet 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also
suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

1 Pet 2: 23	Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he
suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth
righteously:

1 Pet 2: 24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree,
that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose
stripes ye were healed.


John 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever
committeth sin is the servant of sin.

Mark 1:24 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus
of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the
Holy One of God.

Acts 2:27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou
suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

Rev 4:8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and
they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying,
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

Jesus said 


Luke 9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the
plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

Matt 16:24&25  24: Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will
come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow
me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will
lose his life for my sake shall find it.



J ohn 12:25He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his
life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me,
let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if
any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

Matt 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother
without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall
say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but
whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. 


Matt 5:27 & 28 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou
shalt not commit adultery:
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her
hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Matt 5:3132
It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a
writing of divorcement:
But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for
the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever
shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

Matt 5:33&34
Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou
shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's
throne:

Matt 5:38&39
Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for
a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever
shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Matt 5:43 44Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do
good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use
you, and persecute you;

Matt 12:5&6
Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests
in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless? But I say unto
you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.

Matt 12:35& 36
A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good
things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil
things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak,
they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.


Dose this sound like a wimpy anything go’s Liberal to you?  Not to me. 
Jesus is the one and only human to live a sinless life.  None of us have
come even close to his righteousness  My fist wish is that I want to be
like him,  there are something about those words and the Idea of being a
… Liberal that just does not fit together… like Oil and Water mixing… 
Jesus hated sin,  Liberals seem to embrace it., Excuse it, 
You see all kinds of twisty turny STUFF attempting the impossible.  To
make Sin Acceptable,  Jesus was not that kind of Man.  He was God! Can
you call God a Liberal?  … Not if your smart!

Jesus was God Manifest in the flesh and as such he said "Be ye Holy as I
am Holy"
