Theos-Talk Archives (January 2002 Message tt00174)

Hi Chuck and all of you,

Agreed.

Maybe this one could help some on the Theos-talk,

Martin Luther King Jr. said:

"I think the first reason that we should love our enemies, and I think thisis at the very center of Jesus' thinking, is this: that hate for hate onlyintensifies the existence of hate and evil in the universe. If I hit you and you hit me and I hit you back and you hit me back and go on, you see, that goes on ad infinitum. It just never ends. Somewhere somebody must have alittle sense, and that's the strong person. The strong person is the person who can cut off the chain of hate, the chain of evil. And that is the tragedy of hate, that it doesn't cut it off. It only intensifies the existenceof hate and evil in the universe. Somebody must have religion enough and morality enough to cut it off, and inject within the very structure of the universe that strong and powerful element of love." 

Excerpted from "Loving Your Enemies", a sermon delivered on 17 November 1957 at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Ala. (full text) 


I hope it will help somebody on the theos-talk.
Feel totally - morally free to comment.
