Dodgy morality in the New Testament
#2
RE: Dodgy morality in the New Testament
Recently I heard Sam Harris say that Jesus was very in favour of slavery which we now know of course is wrong....

Because of course just like you quoted stewart.... he's come not to 'abolish the law or the prophets' but to fulfill them....

If you think about it that is perhaps the worst of all of the quotes you gave because it basically shows that Jesus wants to fulfill all the horrible stuff in the OT... does it not?

But equally the worst is the last one you gave: He's after war not peace! wtf!

It Sounds to me like Ghandi was actually a huge improvement on Jesus.
