Quote: Demonstrating this is easy. Once non-adherence is pointed out the offender then offers up that we're all sinners, but all will be forgiven through sincere belief as a means of maintaining status as a Christian. This caveat can be deployed by those you wish to distance yourself from. It's nothing more than an ethical shell game.Ah, no..
Christianity isn't about the strictly following the rules, but our acceptance of them. Meaning we must acknoweledge the rules and repent when we break them. The crusaders did no such thing, why? because they had a special revelation from their leader that said they were exempt from the bible and got to follow a new set of rules. The same thing happens everytime people are slaughtered in the name of God. If God does not provide book chapter and verse to justify a given act it is a sin. If one does not repent of his sin by definition they can not be Christian.
