Week 5 Eastertide

Opponents of Christianity always complain that there is too much emphasis on sexual morality and not enough on preventing violence. 

Our age is still full of both sexual immorality and war,

The "this world" which has become the reality that it is in 2026 cannot become "the Kingdom" for it has never accepted that the Ten Commandments revealed to Moses are absolute and  cannot be avoided by human casuistry.

"Thou shalt not kill" is only reinforced by Jesus to become "Turn the other cheek" and finalised on Calvary by "Father forgive them, they know not what they do". 

It is only well-intentioned men who can create the "this worldly" concept of a "Just War" which has not only allowed us to defend ourselves against aggression but also justified our aggression by the concept of "self-defence" informed by "the best form of defence is attack".

At the present moment we are witnessing how much the ingenuity of mankind is being wasted in warfare and how there is no war without hatred of our neighbour.

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

I know that it is easy for me to sit here and type what many would call platitudes, but it is a fact that God conceived SON in the womb of the Virgin Mary by the power of the Holy Spirit thus saying "IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT" and that JESUSSON revealed that he is the "First fruits of  a new creation" and that he  founded both the Church on St Peter and a New Holy Family with Mary and John to confirm that the Holy Spirit would never leave us alone even though I would say that the historical facts of the post-Apostolic ages  prove that his revelations have been more ignored than put into practice.

There are many Christian nationalists but is it even possible for there to be Christian Nation?
