By Rev. Paul Graves<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I can\u2019t say it any more plainly than this: Violence is NOT a Christian value!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So why are there so many self-professed Christians speaking in violent terms or even acting out in aggressive, even violent ways? I really don\u2019t understand it. Do you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus never condoned violence for his disciples or other followers. Why would any current-day followers of Jesus even consider that Jesus\u2019 ethic of love be associated with violence in action and\/or word? Yet there it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus\u2019 love ethic was seen on a bumper sticker recently in Bonners Ferry. It simply said \u201cLOVE.\u201d But look closer. It was written out in weapons! L (handgun), O (hand grenade), V (strategically open knife), E (assault rifle).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love and violence connected like that? This kind of arrogant disregard for the very concept of love forces me to tamp down my own impulse to violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ironic, isn\u2019t it? Even our categorical dismissals of violence as a Christian value cannot dismiss the human tendencies most of us have (at least in our minds) to combat our fears with some kind of verbal or physical violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recent, ugly controversy centered on the Boundary County Public Library<\/a> (again, Bonners Ferry) is a case in point. A group of agitated citizens, many of them professing to be Christians, are determined to force the library to get rid of up to 400 pornographic books from their shelves. But none of those books are in that library!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the organizers of this disgusting protest said: \u201cI\u2019m a Christian and I\u2019m going to do what I can to protect the kids.\u201d Yet the pressure of toxic verbal intimidation brought by these people seems much less about books and more about taking control of the library for their own purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t know if the woman is a member of the Lordship Church in that community, but she works hand-in-glove with the pastor of that church. Lordship Church was labeled a hate group<\/a> by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Really? A church that proclaims to follow Jesus is labeled a hate group?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus\u2019 basic and consistent ethic has everything to do with love. Hate is to be transformed through acts\/attitudes of love by Jesus\u2019 followers, not projected on anyone who disagrees with those followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What kind of pain has twisted the souls of these so-called Christians? All they can seem to do is intimidate, belittle, even threaten people who are committed to keeping their library a place of free thinking and free discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Franciscan monk Richard Rohr defines suffering simply: \u201cwhenever we are not in control.\u201d That covers each of us at some time or another. Yet some people who profess Jesus as Lord, who pledge to follow his ways, seem to suffer so much that they dismiss the essential action of a Christian: love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have their pains gone so deep, their suffering so pervasive, that the only way to gain control they\u2019ve lost is to take control from someone else? When hurting people can only hurt other people, they have misplaced the key that could unlock their spirits, and their souls. Conversely, loving people can love others authentically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That key is found in this Gospel passage: \u201cYou have heard it said, \u2018You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.\u2019 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you\u201d (Matthew 5:43\u201344).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your prayer may not change them, but it could change you! Especially when love becomes bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please lay aside your victim feelings for 15 minutes a day and consider this passage. Genuine love can be rediscovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
