[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 929904, member: 22662"] Wk. What is a sword? Can a sword do anything but cut? Can it parry? Defend? If Christ is the model swordsman, then whom can we look to as His students? Ghandi? Martin Luther King Jr.? Mother Theresa? How did they wield the sword and has it been effective? Who is a mother or a father? I am adopted and have never met my biological parents. Does it matter? From the cross it is said that Christ introduced his mother to her son and son to mother. Are all familial ties worth saving? Is every mother or father worthy of the title? I think this is in short what is being taught by the New Testament. It is a new way of viewing life and relationships putting the emphasis on love and respect than on blood lines and dynasty. There is a difference between being called a father and being a father. There is a difference between having the "father" title filled in on a birth certificate and earning it day in and day out. But, what do I know. I'm just a truck driver. But my daughter gave me a multi-colored bead bracelet with the letters "DADDY" on it!:happy2: [/QUOTE]
