Wait, you're saying that Jesus is suggesting kicking Israel's, or perhaps any nonbelievers ass? Heh, that's a little different that common teaching. Hmm, of course that would mean those Salem types back in the day and the Spanish Inquisition weren't far off.
As far as Jesus' actions carrying more weight, he was often said that he was as all the 'faithful' should be. Even in the passage above he says anyone with faith 'shall' do the tree and mountain stuff. I realize he's the son of God and all but hey, he's the one saying the faithful can do it.
Oh, and to any that didn't catch it, this thread got started before the philosophy forum. Hey Kat, maybe you should respond there? Just let us know here if you do.
