Everyone twist the words of Jesus/biblical writers to the own experience.  I accept that as truth through personal experience and thousands of hours spent with Christians discussing biblical verse.   

The church or individuals who claims perfect understanding have fallen to the very human need to rank ourselves as superior to others.  It defines human self-centerdness and is the opposite of agape' love that calls on us to love our enemies.  That arrogance is what defines the resentment found in religious hatred.

*Jesus also said to pay Rome her taxs without complaint- it does not change our relationship to what we hope is an eternal relationship with God. God can not be defined in human/political terms.   



So let's part in peace and accept that our spiritual lives are unique and are values diverse.
