Serena,
Yes, it is true that Jesus was speaking to those who would be righteous. Thanks for pointing that out. I only referred to "Christian to Christian" because some have no Bible knowledge. Jesus was teaching future "Christians" (they--the diciples- were first called Christians at Antioch (Acts 11:26) He spoke in parables to the general population but explained further to his disciples.
Serena:
Are you trying to quote Matthew 5:19 "Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kindom of heaven;but whoever keeps and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." OR Matthew 25:40 "The King will answer and say to them, 'Truly, I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.' " If it is the Mattew 25 text, He is talking about Christians treating other Christians well. However, the Bible also tells us to "Bless them that curse you". May the Lord open your eyes to the truth.
Love,

to Chicago Guy: So moving somewhere where a Bible verse is displayed during a football game by the cheerleaders is worse than Chicago where tragically, a student is killed after school by being whacked in the head with a 2x4?
I will say this: If the Bible verse displayed is to praise and worship the Living God, then fine. If, however, it is to pump up the football team or imply that God is "rooting" for your team, I agree with the gentleman that wrote that it should not be displayed. This verse was written to encourage the saints to keep going in the face of adversity and true persecution (being killed) for their faith. It should not be used trivially.
To the person who keeps writing that "what happened to 'the majority rules'": that is mob rule, and I don't think you would truly like that. Oh and the USA is NOT a democracy, but a representative republic.
In which Article of the Constitution are the words "separation of church and state"? I will save you some time....they aren't there. FYI, the First Amendment was included to protect the church from the state, not the other way around.
My Lord and Redeemer is Jesus Christ and while I think it is a travesty that the cheerleaders aren't allowed to display their signs, another commenter is right when he/she says that if you allow one religion, you have to allow them ALL. I just find it ironic that the Ten Commandments are taken out of public places to protect the publics "rights" and things keep getting worse--try to tell me it ain't so!
Cheerleaders’ religious signs draw fire
