Top 50 ways to live life to its full

[Andre]

"Broad are ways that lead to destruction, narrow is the way that leads to light"

there is ONLY one way, it is - Jesus.

You related to Andre Ward?

yes, to Ward, Manny , Floyd, Evander, Ray, Roy, and of course, Big George. Winners, so to speak, not looser. R u feeling me here, pal?

As if Jesus would belittle himself and undo all his hard work by condoning violence rather than turning the other cheek, or empower men whose whole persona is wrapped up in the pursuit of money rather than rendering what is Ceasars unto Ceasar. I don't even believe in Jesus but the idea that he is in any way responsible for somebody winning a boxing match is ridiculous and shows a complete ignorance of what he supposedly preached.

Yeah well you are right there: Jesus Christ wasnt even a name back then.
In that area, Yeshua was the real name. Jesus came from the Greek translation a century on. So you wont ever find his adopted name in the records of Romes executed.
In that real sense, I dont believe in Jesus either.

One other meaning lost in other countries translations and ways of turn the other cheek is somewhat different in regards to slave and master. If a soldier or other person struck you on both sides of your face it was a challenge to a dual a fight to the death. If that same soldier or slave owner struck you once, it was in direct ownership of you.So to turn the other cheek could make you equal to them (if they took the offer up in anger).

Just saying; not everything is cut and dried when you localize the history.


Same goes for the thief in the night verse. Thieves in those times came from the desert regions and would come banging swords and screaming into villages, on a desert night you could hear them coming and you could get out of there with plenty of warning.
The thieves wanted your cattle and stuff, not a fight to the death.

So the Lord coming like a thief in the night takes on the old meaning from when it was written not like modern times. It was a warning of the signs that increase prior to an event.
