What if you found them where the worms are.... Never let the antics of others make the decision for you. To Believe, To not Believe, To be in between..... But to your point - crazy, crazy things people do in the name of God. I don't think the early church did anything like that - best bet - they would call it heresy Link to comment

Meh...I also don't want to spend an eternity with a guy that has the power to send me to Heaven but sends people to hell just because he doesn't get enough attention. The devil seems more fun 1 1 Link to comment

Just to be clear, I didn't "laugh". If Jesus really is what Christianity claims he is, I am one of those people that believes no one goes to hell. Link to comment

I think he is a lot different then what is shown in many pulpits on Sunday morning in America. I think he is much closer to the Jesus portrayed in the highly viewed (millions world wide, largest crowd funded program ever) "The Chosen" series. If you haven't seen it or heard of it - it is very well done - not one of the cheesy low budget scare you out of hell Christian movies. Start wt Season 1, Episode 1.

I add that the Political should not be a part of religion. Both have their function in society, mixing them makes for a mess. Where most of the signers of the Declaration and the Constitution Christian? Yes. But that doesn't mean they wanted to set up a theocracy. They saw the mix of religion and the political in England. They wanted a system of government that would be operational for a pluralistic society. They had great foresight and wisdom in doing so. All people, religious or non-religious should have a voice in the political marketplace, but if the political marketplace was religious, then there would be only one voice as we have seen in many countries. 1 Link to comment
Crusader Husker Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Christianity has been ruined by politics. Started with the Edict of Milan. They should both be mutually exclusive. Link to comment
