Maybe so, but this doesn't answer my question at all.
If a Christian doesn't take the OT literally, then it isn't a hateful intolerant work. If they say that love and tolerance are what God wants, then they are not doing what you say.
Quote:When you create a thing and give it a definition, but, over time, that thing becomes something else entirely, you usually change the name of that thing. A tadpole becomes a frog. You don't continue to call it a tadpole just because that was its original name.
Granted, things change over time. What surprises me is that you feel qualified to decide what the true definition is. That YOU judge what is True Christianity.
