I feel some real gross misunderstandings about Christianity going on and I feel it is even harder to understand for those who do not follow "in" the faith. Reading about Christ and following in Christs steps are two different things.

Afrikan Lion, you said that Christ if he were hear today would not be telling us to not go places...If you read the bible, Christ walked amongst men. Men come in all different shapes, sizes, actions etc. Christ witnessed to them, he didn't hang out with crooks and thieves. They followed him and he witnessed to them about his father in heaven and about leading righteous lives. Christ did not turn his back on sin in any instance. He scolded the apostles for getting out of line, he told the woman to turn from her adultery. He cleaned the temple that had been turned into a market. Jesus did not condone sin in any way. He called for people to repent and be washed of thier sins. Christ was not a rich man. Another connection you are making is between Catholicism and Protestantism which are two completely different paths that cannot be combined. Protestant do not follow the order of the pope and the holy father and all that...You say Christ wouldn't say dont go to all these places-what places? You think that Christ would condone someone going to the club? Listening to the music that people listen too? Going to strip clubs, those kinds of places? Of course he wouldn't condone it. You cant seriously put up an argument that says he would.

You keep mentioning a difference between Western Christianity and Ethiopian Christianity. Whats the difference? Explain to me.Paul was not a fair skinned man. he was a color much like Jesus was, so if you are trying to make a white-black distinction you are sadly misguided cuz non can be made. I have also seen you give acclaim to Martin Luther King. The reverend, in western Christianity. He got his idead from the Bible so your arguments are all flawed.

Where does it say that all the disciples were crooks and addicts? If you're referring to Matthew 9:9-13 then you need to read that verse again. Christ said he came to the sick, not the healthy, he came to preach to the sinner. He was the atonement for sin..why wouldn't he preach to the sinners? Where is this story about Joshua that you are saying, coming from.

As far as pagan stories of 3 part deities.God has been around forever, you think that no one has ever miscontrued his revelation before? Read Romans the first 3 chapters and you will get some real knowledge.

I pray that you yourself get out of the box, because you are more oppressed in your thoughts than you think.

1 in Christ
