@marwilliamson @daledwayer That's false, Marianne. While there may not be a direct quote of Jesus stating this fact, it is a fact that is discussed throughout the new testament.

@daledwayer So did I get it wrong? God didn’t say be good to the stranger, do justice, feed the hungry, heal the sick, and take care of the poor? Could’ve sworn I read that somewhere.

The statement is part of a theological debate about the interpretation of biblical texts regarding the influence of Satan on governments. The tone is corrective and aims to clarify a previous assertion. The discussion involves differing interpretations of religious texts, which can be sensitive and complex.

    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.

  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement attempts to promote understanding by addressing a specific claim. [+1]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in constructive dialogue by providing a counterpoint without personal attacks. [+1]
