    Posted August 5, 2010 by Gerald Henthorn

    One day Jesus was out there giving a lecture.  He was teaching a revolutionary idea.  He was teaching that it is better to simply forgive the torts and felonies aimed in our direction than it is to not. Somebody out in the audience perked up and said, “But, what if your brother hits you...
