Isn't Jesus saying that people...
Isn't Jesus saying that people are more important than principles? The Pharisees were the
most principled people in Jesus' day, but he doesn't give them any praise! They could be
careful about the exact figures, like seven times or like exactly 10% of their income or how
many feet you could travel on a sabbath or how much work you could do. Jesus died for people,
not for principles. Sometimes putting principles first rather than the American people hurts
our country. I keep hearing our legislators talk about "standing on principles" but are they
thinking of the people first?
