    Christianity would look a whole lot different if Christians studied Matthew.

      Christianity would look a whole lot different if Christians actually studied Christ.

      At this point, I’d say that the only Christ-like thing for a follower of Christ to do is to reject Christianity.

        don’t forget that one verse of Leviticus that forbids men to sleep with men. just don’t look too far in either direction or you’re going to read the parts about shellfish or mixed cloth!

      I was always so confused as a child, after studying this and yet the older Christians I knew didn’t do this. “Those people brought it on themselves/deserved it.”

      I’m not confused any more, just mad.
