He missed the part that said: In one form, or another.
And his religious Organization is not an exception.

There are no original manuscripts, only altered ones.

The spirit of antichrist in a persons heart--- Hate, calamity, division-- Return evil for evil to your enemy, even as far as kill them, steal vengeance for pride and self.


All of creation saw what is in hearts during--the rev war, the civil war, ww1, ww2--- the supposed brothers in Christ stood on both sides killing one another on the orders of men. They had to throw Jesus away to accomplish those feats. The spiritual teachers are in darkness that is why.
But don't always turn the other cheek. Should you then the other cheek if your enemy tries to kill or harm you? No, you shouldn't.

I don't say these things to be mean, I say them because they are fact.
Why NOT kill Hitler when he was killing and trying to take over the world? It was war, and he lost. He was a crazy man.

From Wikipedia:
The concern with falsifiability gained attention by way of philosopher of science Karl Popper's scientific epistemology "falsificationism". Popper stresses the problem of demarcation—distinguishing the scientific from the unscientific—and makes falsifiability the demarcation criterion, such that what is unfalsifiable is classified as unscientific, and the practice of declaring an unfalsifiable theory to be scientifically true is pseudoscience.
And:
Judge William Overton used falsifiability in the McLean v. Arkansas ruling in 1982 as one of the criteria to determine that "creation science" was not scientific and should not be taught in Arkansas public schools as such (it can be taught as religion). The argument was presented by philosopher, Michael Ruse, who defined the characteristics which constitute science as explanatory, testable, and tentative; the latter of the three being another term for falsifiability.[8] In his conclusion related to this criterion Judge Overton stated that "[w]hile anybody is free to approach a scientific inquiry in any fashion they choose, they cannot properly describe the methodology as scientific, if they start with the conclusion and refuse to change it regardless of the evidence developed during the course of the investigation."

United States law also enshrined falsifiability as part of the Daubert Standard set by the United States Supreme Court for whether scientific evidence is admissible in a jury trial.



If religions are not man-made, why is there such a plethora of them, and all the variations within? Morality is not defined by religion, but by cultures and the humans that live in them. Certainly no Catholic I know of today thinks that the Inquisitions were moral, but the Catholic church certainly ordained them to be at the time. That kind of fluidity in what is dogma can only come from humans.
Well probably becausevgod speaks to men. That's why there's so many churches. The inquisitions, as I believe, was like a war with Antichrist, or the beast.

In other words, imaginary thoughts fighting people who had different imaginary thoughts.

Makes sense to me.

Ultimately, YES we should. Did Christ not do that very thing?
Are we not to imitate the works and deeds of Christ?

Doe that meant it is easy and that we could all do it willingly? Probably not.

For in death, what have we lost? Do we not "gain" more through our death than through our life?

What if you were put up to doing something wrong? Should you turn the other cheek? but if that works for you, then fine.

I'm not sure who the German people were praying to when Hitler came to power. The Nazis went into schools, took down Jesus' picture and put up Hitler"s. The history at that time is very interesting told from the school children's point of view.
