Rice's Sermon in Bethlehem

Oct 22, 2007 07:53

Rice's Sermon in Bethlehem, the city where the rabbi of the churches was born and was regarded as so holy they gave it to the Muslims, was warmly received by Allah.

She said, "It is also, I think, personally for me a reminder that the Prince of Peace is still with us and still with me and with all of us, but that also these great monotheistic religions that have inhabited this land together have an opportunity to overcome differences, to put aside grievances, to make the power of religion a power of healing and a power of reconciliation rather than a power of division."

With that statement one can see why the Political Pariah, the Messiah, always refuses to attend her meetings in a public way. He is not going to be cornered by politicians and makes a point to deliberately thwart their peace plans. Instead, he said that he "foils the plans of the nations," and of democracies he said, "he thwarts the purposes of the peoples."

Rice like Bush, sees no great difference between Jehovah and Allah and she said about Bethlehem and Jerusalem that, "what these great holy sites remind us of is that the three great religions indeed share a common vision of peace and a common vision of our humanity." Only the Messiah of Israel was born in Bethlehem, which was a nothing-town--a suburb of Jerusalem otherwise. Even so, the birthplace of "her Lord" meant so much to the Presbytery that they gave it Allah.

As far as the common vision of this prophetess, the Uncouth One said, "The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name." or to say it differently, "Jehovah is a man of battle," and peace only comes when bureaucrats are in dread of offending overwhelming power.
