They don't even know what they really want. Just like most every human. Thats why we often just want to be left alone to our own devices and designs without Jesus.

I know you are jaded by the imperfection you see in those who claim they are Christian. But life is full of those disappointments of all mankind not succeeding to be good except to a certain point. The best of the best of us is still a bloody mess.

If thats all you think Jesus was about you are quite mistaken.

Yes, We are to show the love of Jesus. Yet we are imperfect with or without Jesus. A follower strives thru sanctification to set aside the wrong we think and do but recognize only thru God's help that we succeed.

Those are the ways of men as evidenced by all history. Jesus is about saving the individual not those who remain entrenched in worldliness.

If you're hung up by a descriptive name thats tough. Its been called palaia diatheke since the 2nd century since then. And those of faith in either religion have respect for God's inspiration and hand at work

Dude, its not 'a couple other' its every other. And heretical individuals have often misled people... Look at Trump. He's a centerpoint in misleading a lot of Americans regardless of their religious leaning.

None of them represented Jesus accurately, most having very conservative or very heretical teaching (Osteen in particular)

Jesus indicated many would come in his name but not be recognized as his followers.

Many deists and agnostic clearly profited from slavery. To lay it on 'Christians' is to ignore the long tradition going back to Mesopotamia and across all societies.
There is no support for Christians to engage in enslavement except themselves to God as master.

Ah nothing like quoting a dead man who was at best an agnostic and at worst an advocate for relative morality of the enlightened soul. He hated most every class of people except fellow enlightened wealthy Europeans.

These current ultra-nationalist religious zealots couched in false Christianity are merely Fascist nazis as all their tactics are none espoused by any main denomination with Jesus Christ as its focus.

Compared to non-Christian societies over the same period the facts declare Christianity has been far less destructive. Deaths under Ghengis Khan, numerous Chinese emperors, Indian subcontinent rulers, Ottoman empire, Sultans of Islam exceed all 'Christian' associated loss of life. Facts

1Tim & 2Tim along with Titus appear later formed ideas c140AD in the proto post apostolic church as men struggled to validate their control of the direction of the work. If they are removed from centralized teachings when compared to Jesus' ministry we see no faltering of faith.

No 10% does not work. Consider today those who make $400k+ a year establish long term wealth immediately. $40k is a pittance and no they aren't investing $250k into the overall economy like those making $200k and less.

The flat tax doesnt account for the actual benefit the wealthy receive

Note the people from 200k-640k jump more per percentage 8% of actual income 32-35% (24% is next lower bracket) than those in the highest bracket 37% only 2% increase above 640k. Need an executive bracket >800k that is 40% and 32% from 200-640k. Taxes should be 10% from 30-50k. 20% & 24% middle

True, sufficiency is a dirty word in capitalism. Turning off commercialism and finding sufficiency was much easier when I was growing up. My grandparents lived thru the depression and knew the balance between necessary and extravagant spending

The incredulous thing is how so many see no issue. It is a blindness that can only be explained by a spiritual blockage in these people's hearts and minds.
