Ghandi still died a Hindu…

…which I presume means he rejected the Lordship of Jesus.(God is his judge and not me) He liked Christian values (Sermon on the Mount) but refused to love God with heart, soul, mind and strength. Ghandi affirmed the second great commandment but not the first. I think Ghandi was an Aussie. The average Aussie thinks like that too (if there is such a thing as an average Aussie) Christian values: yes! Relationship with the Saviour: No Thanks I am fine where I am !

That’s something to chew over anyway

I am with Ghandi on revolution through non-violence though….

Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress.
Mahatma Gandhi

I believe in equality for everyone, except reporters and photographers.
Mahatma Gandhi

I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.
Mahatma Gandhi

I hope I can be on the bus like Rosa Parks was. Breaking the unjust rules so the bus can be what God longs for it to be.

The first ‘Wednesday with Gandhi’ I think will happen tomorrow some time… just to mix it up.

I can tell already this is going to be fun.

Maybe the chanllenge Gandhi brings us Christian’s is checking if we’ve made Christ into our image instead of letting the Holy Spirit transform us into his. Maybe that’s why Christian have also (more so?) found it so easy to “enjoy the bits [we] like, flick the bits [we] don’t” (like living the Sermon on the Mount which Gandhi said was central to his revolution in India.)

No – Gav, I accept that the message says what it says, just not necessarily that it is what it says it is.

Good. I am glad that you are doing this. I am looking forward to hearing more from you about Ghandi.

And as for the bus you lot? You get off one only to get on another. Careful lest we fail to notice the log in our own eye. The world out there is only a reflection of the world in our own hearts.

“I think the message of Christ is quite amazing – as did Gandhi, and I am looking forward to hearing more from you about this.”

Hey Grendel, Haven’t you made a Jesus after your own image, enjoy the bits you like, flick the bits you don’t …is that fair to Jesus?

Thr trouble with being on the bus is that if you get off to stretch your legs and admire the view for too long then the bus might drive off without you – better to take the tour yourself I think.

hmmm i may still be on that bus – but i don’t think i’m blinded by it – maybe a little like a bus tour, you’re on the bus and enjoy parts of the ride, but get off frequently to stretch your legs
