As a student of history and of world religions I have noted
many times that people who are mean spirited or power driven will totally go
against the teachings of a religion they espouse. It happens in every religion!
In the case of Jesus who taught love, forgiveness, peace and
charity we find people of power acting in Christ name to make war, torture
people, and call on Christians to hate those who are not Christians. In some
cased to hate other Christians to do not follow the quote –TRUE WAY
It is a perversion of the teachings of Jesus and it happens
all the time. Even some preachers do it on TV.
As a preacher I am much aware that the people Jesus
chastised were not the sinners but the religious leaders who were self
righteous and perverted the faith. It makes me nervous every time I stand up to
preach. I always pray that I will preach the Gospel in love and truth.
