Thank you for quoting the New testament.
So, I guess I should not compromise in my belief's either.
I gues those of other religions should not compromise with their belief's either.
I think we should all just continue to teach discrimination (* of other religions *) and just let all of us continue to kill each other.
Sorry but that is my feeling on this. When Religion gave guidance to those who needed it seems to work. When Religions make politics and you have wars, then I have a real hard time believing that those interpretation of "GOD's" words are correct.
Rich,
Thanks for the response, I think we need to remember one thing Man made religion, and as has been pointed out and I am living proof everyday Man can and does screw everything up that God has created for good. Just because the messenger is flawed doesn't mean the message is bad. I think when we believe in something we shouldn't compromise those beliefs and should stand by them and stand up for them. We also should not be so closed minded to not listen to other people, if we know what we believe and why then we should not feel challenged by other opinions it is when someone does not have a solid foundation that things get shakey and they feel threatened.
