BIBLE ON LINE Mildness is a fruitage of God’s holy spirit, and its use brings lasting results in declaring God’s kingdom. True Christians today must use the same method. Jesus used that method, and so did the apostles. If anyone accepts the truth it will be because the minister is mild and patient toward those not favourably disposed toward the Bible message. What have they accomplished by their wars and tortures? A world of peace and unity? No! False religion has been driving people away from God with its wars and crusades.Ĭhristianity will never be brought about by the use of carnal weapons. These religious leaders fought to drive people into the Roman Catholic Church. These inquisitors professing to be Christians-yes, priests, who arranged for Jews, Moors and “heretics” to suffer excruciating pain-certainly did not have a mild spirit.

With those who wanted to learn he was amiably gentle, tempered in his feelings and behavior toward all. He had perfect love, and such love throws fear outside. But be sure to read the 23rd chapter of Matthew and see Jesus as a forceful denouncer of wickedness. When one reads the life of Christ as told by the writers of the four Gospels he sees Jesus as a mild-tempered man. Mildness is sometimes misunderstood for weakness.
