A "softening" of the dogma in order to make it more comfortable for them... If Christianity actually followed the bible the way they're supposed to, they'd be just as bad... There are no shades of grey for god... |
Believing that Jesus Christ is the son of God (some christians believe Jesus Christ was god himself) and was crucified to redeem mankind of its sins for all that believe unto him...is what makes one a Christian and Jesus taught "obey the law of the land" and "render unto Ceasar what is Ceasars". One of the ten commandments is thou shall not kill...and Jesus taught one step further than this and said one should not even get angry with ones neighbor. He taught that if one is struck on the cheek to turn the other cheek. He taught that the meek shall inhierit the earth and will sit at the side of his father in heaven. He taught that if one asks for your shirt to give him your coat also. In addition he taught to love one another as one loves himself. etc. ect. Not hardly a violent teaching for Christians to follow...now is it?
