Comments on: Cruise, Christ and Scientology http://www.billmuehlenberg.com/2007/01/25/cruise-christ-and-scientology/ Bill Muehlenberg's commentary on issues of the day... Tue, 07 Sep 2010 00:13:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Charlie, Virginia, USA http://www.billmuehlenberg.com/2007/01/25/cruise-christ-and-scientology/comment-page-1/#comment-4672 Charlie, Virginia, USA Fri, 26 Jan 2007 16:59:21 +0000 http://www.billmuehlenberg.com/2007/01/25/cruise-christ-and-scientology/#comment-4672 Interesting article, and interesting observation on the part of the Scientology leader Miscavige regarding Tom Cruise being ‘Christ-like’. It’s sad that there are so many working and/or paying to gain their way to heaven or enlightenment or nirvana or whatever path they choose to fill the void they feel, when it was offered as a gift from the God of Abraham through Jesus Christ. I thought the comparison was interesting because in a way, aren’t all Christians supposed to be ‘Christ-like’? We are taught that we are to love our Heavenly Father with all our heart, all our soul and all our mind, and love our neighbor as ourselves. When we act Christ-like to whatever extent we can, I think people will be attracted to the true Gospel of Jesus Christ and his kingdom which we have to share. I hope somewhere along the way, Tom Cruise will decide to make a comparison between paying thousands of dollars to become ‘clear’ and the gospel that is free, though purchased for us at an incredible price.
