Quote: Jesus upheld the "spirit of the law," telling people to love God and love their neighbor. He hit the root of human behavior. If you don't love, you won't do good for long. Goodness has to come from the inside out. That's why "any average Christian" will be able to tell you about a NT verse on love--because love is more important than knowing rules. Rules are mere knowledge. Love is the driving force for good. And the ultimate model for love is Jesus' sacrifice--a righteous, perfect God dying for his destructive, disobedient creation.He said a few other things as well, but I know we don't like to talk about them when we're drawing a picture of buddy Jesus. All this love shit, sounds like some pansy ass new age pagan bullshit to me. Stick with what your boy is good at, smiting. "Jesus sacrifice" btw (not the words I;d use but np) doesn't even approach the border for a model of love, let alone the ultimate model, in my opinion.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
