Christian Divergence

di David VanLandingham (Autore)

David VanLandingham, 2021

Christ established a religious philosophy that was based on the love of God and each other. Christ's ministry focused on helping those in need. This was a significant departure from the strict Old Testament Laws. Mankind still was responsible for his actions but he was just as responsible for his inactions and his intentions. This religion was one of forgiveness; no one was in a position to either judge or condemn another. Superficiality and hypocrisy were forbidden. Christ condemned religious leaders who would seek to benefit from his teachings; he demanded that his gospels be spread without compensation, he condemned the acquisition of wealth especially at the expense of the poor. Tragically, Christianity leaders, through out most of history, have perverted Christ's message almost beyond recognition in their lust for power and riches. They vacillate between the Old Testament, the epistles and "tradition" to counterfeit a religion to meet their own self serving agendas, all the while ignoring the simple but effective message revealed in the gospels.Christ established a religious philosophy that was based on the love of God and each other.
