Artifice of Eternity

“I always love gold,” he said, in transition from our military dead. He is the most pathetic and deplorable person. Elected hy Thugs.

( Richard Rohr reveals biblical problems - not just the theological one I pointed out - for Jesse. Father Richard Rohr emphasizes how God’s justice in the Bible is fundamentally loving and restorative rather than punitive.) As we read the Bible, God does not change as much as our knowledge of God evolves. I certainly recognize there are many biblical passages that present God as punitive and retributive, but we must stay with the text—and observe how we gradually let God grow up. Focusing on divine retribution leads to an ego-satisfying and eventually unworkable image of God, which situates us inside of a very unsafe and dangerous universe. Both Jesus and Paul observed the human tendency toward retribution and spoke strongly about the limitations of the law. The biblical notion of justice, beginning in the Hebrew Scriptures with the Jewish prophets—especially Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Hosea—is quite different. If we read carefully and honestly, we will see that God’s justic...

  The visually impaired refugee from Myanmar had spent a year at a county jail in Buffalo, when, on a cold winter day, he was picked up by Border Patrol agents and left alone at a coffee shop. Five days later, he was found dead.  The case, first reported by the Buffalo nonprofit news outlet Investigative Post, triggered outrage across New York State. Public officials and immigration advocates expressed dismay over the officers’ decision to drive the refugee, Nurul Amin Shah Alam, 56, to the coffee shop without apparently telling his relatives or his lawyer where he was. City officials said that Mr. Shah Alam could not speak English. The circumstances that spelled the fate of Mr. Shah Alam remain murky. His body was found at about 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, miles away from the Tim Hortons restaurant where the officers had released him from their custody. The Buffalo Police Department said that he had died of health complications but did not further specify the results of a...

That they listen to Isaiah the prophet, before it is too late for them: Is this not, rather, the fast that I choose:      releasing those bound unjustly,      untying the thongs of the yoke; Setting free the oppressed,      breaking off every yoke? 7  Is it not sharing your bread with the hungry,      bringing the afflicted and the homeless into your house; Clothing the naked when you see them,      and not turning your back on your own flesh? 8  THEN your light shall break forth like the dawn,      and your wound shall quickly be healed; Your vindication shall go before you,      and the glory of the  Lord  shall be your rear guard. 9  THEN you shall call, and the  Lord  will answer,      you shall cry for help, and he will say: “Here I am!” If you remove the yoke from among you,   ...
