Are Pastor Terry Jones and Dr. Strangelove one in the same person? On September 11, 2010 Pastor Terry Jones wants to burn copies of the Quran in a fire-breathing judgmental act that remotely looks like Dr. Strangelove. They both want to nuke Islam and burn their very existence back to the Stone Age. Is this what Jesus would do? No.
This pastor does not represent Christianity or Jesus Christ in any form or fashion. In Luke chapter nine we have the following passage:
Luke 9:51-56
51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.
52 And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him;
53 but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem.
54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, "Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?"
55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them, and said “You do not know what kind of spirit you are of:
56 for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” and they went to another village.
Jesus in no way would tolerate any violence, and just as Jesus rebuked His disciples, Pastor Terry Jones needs to be rebuked and stopped. James and John wanted to fight fire with fire, Jesus contradicted them to show that non-violence, being patient, full of compassion and forgiveness was the way we should go.
Matt 26:51-52
51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.
52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
Peaceful means produce peaceful events, violence begets violence. Which has Pastor Terry Jones chosen; it looks like he has allied himself with Dr. Strangelove.
