Jimmy Carter Man from Plains, A documentary, A Chronicle of the former president's tour recent for his book, "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid " I happen to side with president Carter on the issue of Palestine. We stand together (not literally) in an informed minority against an uninformed majority ignorant of the truth.
I watched this documentary a few times for it is that inspirational. It's impossible not to like this documentary. It's impossible to not have tremendous respect for the our former president and all he's accomplished. I think President Jimmy Carter is as close to a true follower of Jesus Christ as there is today. I don't know of another. I'm not saying there are not others, I'm saying I don't know of another. I've never met another. I believe the true followers of Jesus will have resumes very much like that of president Carter for people of exceptional faith lead exceptional lives, of this there can be no doubt.
President Carter leads by example, his actions speak so loudly they are deafening. I don't know who modern day Christians point to as a leader, a true leader following in the path of Jesus Christ? The Republican party is allegedly the "Christan party" but who do they point to for their example? From all I can tell and from all I can see it is the blind leading the blind within the Republican party and they seem to be lead by blind hatred.
I wrote once that I've never met a true christian. I think President Jimmy Carter is a real christian. I also think our paths will never cross. Why should they, I don't think ex presidents associate with ex-felons.
