\u201cThe follower of Christ, whose service means an ever-growing understanding of his teaching, and an ever-closer fulfillment of it, in progress toward perfection, cannot, just because he is a follower, of Christ, claim for himself or any other that he understands Christ’s teaching fully and fulfills it. Still less can he claim this for any body of men.
\nTo whatever degree of understanding and perfection the follower of Christ may have attained, he always feels the insufficiency of his understanding and fulfillment of it, and is always striving toward a fuller understanding and fulfillment. And therefore, to assert of one’s self or of any body of men, that one is or they are in possession of perfect understanding and fulfillment of Christ’s word, is to renounce the very spirit of Christ’s teaching.\u201d –Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You
\nThere are Christians and there are people who claim<\/b> to be Christians. You think you are so superior to others who have different views of Christianity than you.<\/p>\n
There are 30,000 plus children who die every day due starvation or diseases caused by malnutrition. Jesus spoke about people who did not take care of the children. What have you done?<\/p>\n
There are thousands of children that die each day because of diseases that have cures. They do not have access to the immunizations or the medical care or medications required. I say again that Jesus spoke about people who did not take care of children. What have you done?<\/p>\n
You cherry pick your scriptures to make yourselves out to be the only true Christians. What about all the rest of the Bible that tells you a different story?<\/p>\n
Jesus was not a Christian. He was a Jew!!! He spoke in the manner of a great Jewish tradition that spoke for the voiceless.<\/p>\n
Have you really read the Bible or have you merely echoed the false teachings of those that claim to interpret the Bible for you?<\/p>\n
You claim to know God and know how God feels and how God will deal with people that have different views than you. Are you God?<\/p>\n
You make claims that you say are based on scripture but do not post any scripture that backs up what you say. You claim that the Bible is the last word on what God has to say, but even the Bible says that the Holy Spirit lives on and continues to reveal the word of God.<\/p>\n
The Bible warns us against people like you. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
