Yes. Yes they are. Also, I think a "radical Christian" would be the opposite of the KKK.

I guess I'm a radical Christian then.

I believe Jesus taught tolerance and love, so I try to treat others with tolerance and love. And not fake love like "thoughts and prayers," but real love, which comes with action.

I believe Jesus taught tolerance and love

So that's what he meant when he said

34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person's enemies will be those of his own household.

Matthew 10:34-36

or when he said:

“Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters."

Matthew 12:30

So tolerant and loving! 😍

Oh come on, I can see from a mile away that's it's a metaphor

[–] Lightor@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

How can you tell the difference between what should be interpreted as literal vs a metaphor?

[–] algorithmae 3 points 5 days ago

Because 35-36 explains the metaphor in 34

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 0 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Sure like everything that is uncomfortable. Rest is literal. How convenient.

Now you're putting words in my mouth. You're arguing against the wrong person dude, chill
