Adam wrote:That’s right, as you read and all around the world, christian men and women are shooting their guns, launching rockets from jets, and firing missiles from helicopters on civilians who do not accept America’s form of christianity.
The Jesus of old, who gently knocked on the door, then left if He was not invited in, has been replaced by a Jesus who is not afraid to overthrow a government and kill thousands of civilians just to promote his form of religious preference.
Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? Matthew 5 - selected verses.
What does this have to do with the Christians who actually follow what the Bible teaches? No matter what kind of a group you are in, there are always people who act contrary to what their group believes. The foolish person will let the acts of others influence their opinion on a group, rather than what the group actually teaches.
