The Enabler on the Mount

Kenny hitt, at Tennapel.com, writes, in his youthful ignorance about the death of Tom Fox. Fox was a peacemaker who lost his life for the sake of a Gospel of faith, hope and love, rather than one of fear, control and hate.

Young Mr. Hitt thinks he was an Enabler. Well we would have to go back to Jesus, the greatest Enabler of all in His Sermon on the Mount:

1Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His
disciples came to him,

2and he began to teach them saying:


3"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

8Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven.

11"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.

12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Today Mr. Hitt added insult to the death of a faithful brother who had the courage to try and bring peace, reconciliation and Gosepl to a horrible situation. It's an almost unfathomable cowardice on his part. It is also a repudiation of the Sermon on the Mount and what Jesus taught.

If you had them write it, Jesus would nuke all his enemies (instead of pray and die for them) and the war-mongers would inherit the earth and take it by force....the "Chicago-way".

Just read their writings. It's disgusting and filled with hate, not faith.

It's very instructive... It's all there.

Hate and fear.

Faith is not required, nor is hope or sacrificial love. Cetainly Jesus is not involved (note He is never mentioned).

Tom Fox was a peacemaker who had far more courage than I have ever had. He is now called a "son of God" just as Jesus said. He actively made peace. That is rare in these days of acrimony and fear. Let us pray for Tom's family and his friends who are now in mourning.
