This is an arguement I can engage with:
I don't think Jesus advocated a "do nothing" policy, I think he was more concerned with the spirit of the Law and with the consequences of one's actions.Originally Posted by Navaros
"Judge not, lest ye be judged."
"Those who live by the sword die by the sword."
"Swear not..... merely let your yes be yes and your no be no."
My personal favourite:
"Forgive them Lord, they know not what they do."
Jesus wasn't saying "Don't live by the sword" so much as he was saying "be prepared for the consequences of your actions." The way I see it you can live by the sword but it will likely be your undoing and your sins may be greater than those of other men at the reckoning.
Jesus' most important message though was about forgiveness, Rosie O' Donnell, may not be your favourite person and if you believe her views are wrong you should oppose them vigorously, and love her regardless.
