Muslims openly says they want to kill christians because their holy book litterally command them to do so. According to you it is illegitimate to protect yourself? HONK HONK!
The Christian bible says the same shit. They are both horrible religions. No church should be able to hire police to enforce heir laws. Christian law is a bigger threat than sharia law
Is there such command/instruction/exhortation in the "New Testament". Perhaps you can help specify ? It would be quite useful to know for something I am working on.
Personally I think the take the new testament had on slavery shows that the bible is not a source for morality. If anything people have morals despite being Christian, not because.
Well, the 'take home' from Sunday School was that the "Old Testament" was just historical background for what the New Testament was repealing. Not that Calvinists cared 1 whit.
Old sacrifices were nonger expected as Jesus was the sacrifice the others represented. He did not take away the old laws though. This is why Christian's still burn witches to this day.
