    So, the conclusion then should be that any person hating another person because of whatever and “basing” it on believe/bible is not a christin buy a heretic, right?

      Basically, almost all the hateful stuff comes from the old testament, which Jesus went, “That’s invalid now”

      Really, it would be a lovely religion without all the people

        But, did he?

        Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.

        I’ve often seen that as a response, when someone claims that Jesus wiped the shitty Old T nonsense away.

        That’s the trouble with the bible, it’s a book written by a bunch of men with competing interests over thousands of years ago, and honestly could have used a team of diligent editors, but has been held up as the infallible word of some dude sitting in the clouds.

          Fulfill it, as in complete it. It’s done. With his sacrifice he formed a new covenant. He goes on to say that anyone who wants to follow any part of the law of Moses must follow the whole law of Moses*. That means that anyone judging someone for old testament laws is a sinner themselves for eating pork or shrimp, for wearing clothing of mixed fabrics, and 611 other laws that are quite difficult to follow in a modern world.

          *Galatians 5:4

            Thanks for the clarification!

            It is an old, confusing patchwork quilt of a book and much of it open to interpretation - with many picking and choosing.

            I just don’t worry about that and instead try to abide by one rule - do unto others. Be excellent to everyone. Seems to serve me fairly well.

      I think the proper terminology would be “apostate”, but you are correct. There is no hatred of any kind in legitimate Christian beliefs. It is the political far-right who improperly conflate their strongly held bigotry with their Christian affiliation.
