In reply to the discussion: San Diego Tea Party Leader arrested for kidnapping, rape [View all]Stonepounder
(4,033 posts)73. Seems like most 'evangelical Christians' don't bother too much with the New Testament
An awful lot of what I hear coming out of the 'moral majority' and the 'evangelical Christians' has almost no relationship to the teachings of Jesus. Instead it seems much more firmly rooted in the 'God or wrath, God of vengeance' of the Old Testament. They don't seem to get that the Old Testament was written before the New Testament, and that the teachings of Christ (note: Christ is the root of Christianity) differed significantly from the teachings in the Old Testament. You can't really call yourself a Christian if you ignore the teachings of the guy you supposedly follow.

well, from what I've read he only raped a woman. It's not like he did anything horrible.
