Miss Hudson, finally a piece that stayed on the subject they started with. Although, I knew the comments would somehow turn political, and they didn’t disappoint. Unfortunately your message of peace just made some people more hateful and rude. They don’t realize they have a free choice of either joining you or not. I myself will not be joining you, but thanks for the invitation. I believe everyone has their own higher power and the freedom to choose to find the peace you speak of through them. I believe your message of peace, through God and Jesus, was lost to some people that need it.
Unlike Kamala, who told the two guys who yelled Jesus is Lord, or some such thing, to leave her rally, Christians don’t eject the non believers and skeptics. Our goal is to be compassionate with you and show how God in us has turned us from angry and bitter toward God and each other into people more like Jesus. That’s the whole point.
Heaven is for Real, a true story. At the end the 4 yo boy says that’s Him when he sees the Prince of Peace painted by Akiane who saw Jesus.
None of many Christians asked knew Luke 17:21 the KOG is in our midst.
Some claim Jesus is coming back to judge the unrighteous. “If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world John 12:47.
* David Sorenson is used by GOD for miraculous healing. He said a religious mindset has crept into the church for centuries. He said, “Many are looking for the return of Jesus Christ, but He is looking for people where He can dwell right here and now in His Glorious Presence."
*Big George Foreman movie is a true story; he woke up from a heart attack and said Jesus is in me (before he believed) and he became a minister.
*Bobby Conner (YouTube) hears from The Lord often and sees bodies restored. He said GOD wants us all to do this.
* A friend was healed the night before a major operation and said Jesus did it.
* An acquaintance, addicted to cocaine said Jesus if you’re real help me. Bill heard NEVER WILL I LEAVE YOU OR FORSAKE YOU.
Anita, deceased, was healed in the hospital by Jesus and said He prefers Yeshua.
In 2015, I said GOD I don’t know how to love Jesus, I have only loved one person. Later listening to praising songs on my iPod I cried hard feeling love for Jesus. I thought He must like that song and the third time I played it I was bent over crying hard.
Do you not realize Christ Jesus is in you 2 Cor. 13:5. THIS IS LITERALLY TRUE!
I have cried over 300 times feeling loved like a 4 yo child after reading verses Rev. Ken said was his breakthrough to GOD
Rev. Kens breakthrough to GOD: Eph. 1:16-20, 2:4-8, 3:14-19 He read these on his knees 1,000 times. GOD said TELL ABOUT MY LOVE.
Many people hear GOD, everyone can.
Rom. 8:11 He that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you.
After 35 years of excess I said GOD help me stop drinking. Alcohol became so bitter I couldn't stand the taste, before I believed.
For 65 years of my life I thought just because I don't believe doesn't mean GOD isn't real.
“Everyone has access to GOD, but we are taught it is only special people” Rev Ken Deceased.
ORDINARY PEOPLE FIND GOD. Truly I understand GOD shows no partiality Rom.2:11.
12 Days With GOD is a true story (movie). At the end the formerly angry man told the doctor it isn't a belief, its a relationship.
For reasons unknown to us 2 Cor. 4:4 tells us there is another god of this world but that is another topic not for Christmas and I can tell you more than you want to know.
NEVER feel like you have disappointed GOD. We are like 4 yo children to GOD Feeling guilty and unworthy is something the god of this world causes.
*Howard Storm (YouTube) a former atheist cries talking about Jesus saving him from hell. He said God created other dimensions and you can explore heaven for eternity.
Churches need to stop saying you are a sinner. We all are and don't need to be told, that causes feeliings of being unworthy. There is only ONE judge James 4:12 and HE wants us to know HE loves us more than we know.
Jessica, I was an atheist until four years ago and while I may have shared some of your aversion to "religious rhetoric", I kept that to myself. That you choose to share your disdain for people of faith on this public forum tells much about you. It is Christmas day and the holiest day for Christians. Are you surprised to see a piece celebrating Jesus? If you go to any church you will meet many who have had their lives turned around from drug abuse, alcoholism, criminality, depravity and despair by Jesus. This is nothing to be critical of but to be celebrated and Christmas day is a day to thank Jesus. Open your eyes and heart. Go to a church service and talk to others who have been saved by Jesus. You will be a changed person for the better. And Jesus will patiently wait for that day.
Jessica, by your knee jerk reaction, I can see Jesus is knocking at your door right now. You are the only one who can open that door. It is your choice alone to make. God Bless
I can see you have some very deep hurt and unresolved issues in your life, and you are striking out to blame God. This is not an uncommon reaction. People who are hurt, hurt others. Ancestral sins can make us susceptible to repeat their sins. I feel that the Holy Spirit is talking to you right now. You need to truly listen to Him. If you remain quiet and listen to what He is bringing to your mind right now. This is the issue He wants to help you get resolution to and to begin your healing. The choice is yours to make. Listen.
I appreciate that many of you like this column that Mary Hudson wrote. I wish I did. I know of the Hudsons' work and am friends with people who like their preaching. But I think this is the wrong place for this. While it's traditional for news magazines to run a Christmas piece by a religious figure, I've never read one like this that is so blatantly an advertisement for their new ministry.
I also found the way you all treated the commenter Jessica Brown to be disgusting. Who are you to lecture anyone on what they should do? How do you know she hasn't accept Jesus, just maybe doesn't like this piece? You talked over her as though her right to freedom of speech should be renounced. That's not my Jesus.
You remind me too much of what I dislike in the Left these days. Yes. You talk just like dogmatic Lefties, only you're for Jesus and not Karl Marx.
I'm quitting SB Current because of this increasing out of place Christian religiosity that sees itself as tolerant but is not. I subscribed to SB Current during the election year because it was the only local news publication that did not serve up Democratic Party anti-Trump propaganda. There were terrific reporters writing here. But what you have been doing in the last couple of weeks with Andy Caldwell's “Jesus died for your sins” number and this will only undercut future reader confidence in the integrity and honesty of SB Current.
It is not your business what religion I follow, if any, or how I celebrate Christmas. But just to leave you on a lighter tone I will tell you I'm making Won Ton Soup for lunch as an homage to all the wonderful Christmas meals I had with my Jewish friends while in NYC. As one famous Chinatown restaurant sign said “We Chinese do not understand your Jewish dietary requirements but we are grateful your God tells you to eat at Chinese restaurants on Christmas Day.” Merry Christmas to all and the best in 2025.
Jesus said “I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father but by me. “ He is a gift which we can gratefully accept or we can spurn it. Many Current readers have evidently accepted the Christmas gift, and this seems even more unifying than our abhorrence of progressive Godless politics. We pray for all who reject the good news of the gospel and hope that they find the truth before it’s too late.
Thank you Mary for your well written story of your journey to faith. It is actually the most important subject matter dealt with on the Current.
I greatly respect you, Dr. Aijian, but I don't share your belief. You are free to consider me Godless. And I'm free to smile at how presumptuous you are being when you don't know me at all. And isn't it wonderful we both live in a country where we fought and preserved freedom of religion by getting Trump elected.
Very grateful that I live in a country where I am free to practice my Holy, Catholic and Apostolic faith, as I did today in celebration of the Advent. I am equally grateful that I live in a country where there is freedom from religion as well.
I read this article this Christman Morning by Ms. Hudson titled
"The Prince of Peace and Restoration"
Currently we are in Classic World of "Good VS Evil"
I offer a counterpoint title by a Political Groups own actions titled.
"The Devil of Peace is Destruction" and I provide Democrats themselves who now
admit to their Complete Collapse and Religion of Ill-Will. I could use another word.
I would throw in many Republicans with the Democrats as well ......

I quote from the above link and Democrats own words>"Politics has substituted Religion to
some extent." "People have this Religious Zealotry towards their Pollical beliefs."
"I saw him [Trump} as such a Significant Threat" that lead to targeting Trump,
Legal Lawfare and finally two Assignation Attempts against the President Elect.
Hatred has no place in our National Discourse or in our Foreign Policy and Agreements with
Other Countries including Russia.
We now sit at the doors of WWIII on this Christmas Day and God Help Us All.
I hope the US and Russia will immediately adopt the Christmas 1914 Truce and
a Longer-Ceasefire for 2025. The Trump many HATE is going to be the one that
may finally come to Peace with the US, Russia and secondarily Ukraine.

We Christians love you!
But Jesus Christ loves you more!
Once you come to understand what Jesus did for you on that cross many years ago.
You will be absolutely blown away by his love!
I am praying for you.
Steve, very good statement and I hope that the Trump Team takes some of that
"Unconditional Love" into their upcoming Talks with the Russians and Putin because
they are going to need it. There are now over 1,000,000 Russians and Ukraine's Killed
or badly injured from "Carnage" of three years of On-Going War.
The real concern is that the Trump Team has no real experts on Russia, their people or Russian's History.
"Trump vows to speak to Zelensky and Putin to end 'carnage' of war"

HOLY shit can we give up the Bible thumping already or change the title to not news but here is where you can read religious rhetoric

Absolutely the truth!
You say these things out of love.
She doesn’t understand that yet.
But one day by Gods grace,she will.
You know what I love about Christmas Day is it finally the fucking Christmas music stops?
