I'm sick and tired of Christians living in the Old Testament. They want the Ten Commandments in the Courts. They use words like evildoer. They cite lines like "eye for an eye", which by the way is not an entitlement but a limit as to what you can do. Why don't they pay attention to the life of Jesus and the thousands of kind acts he did, his compassion, his empathy.
These are the eight beatitudes taken from the Sermon on the Mount. This is what Jesus said.
* Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
* Blessed are the meek: for they shall posses the land.
* Blessed are they who mourn: for they shall be comforted.
* Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill.
* Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
* Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God.
* Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
* Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
The current state of so-called Christians does not really mirror what Jesus was all about.
Study more if you want.
