We'd still still have slaves to do our bidding (or be the slaves).
We'd stone those terrible sinner that are gay still.
We'd continure to understand that women have no rights beyond being beat by their husbands.
Etc.
Man the bible is just a constant compass of morality.
I'd disagree Sir,
What's to say that's real Christianity? I say its corrupted Christianity used to keep citizens in line during the dark ages.
It's called CHRIST-ianity. Based on the ideas of CHRIST, not the early hebrews. We follow CHRIST. I know he said law won't be erased, but he was talking about ten commandments, because he DID break laws like the sabbath law.
Let's imagine for a moment Jesus really existed and came back in modern times. Would he hold the confederate flag for slavery? Would he stone gays? Did he not stop the woman from being killed by stoning? Do you think he would beat his wife if he had one? Do you think he would scold/ deny her permission if she wanted to . . . Become a scholar, wanted a degree, get a job. Would he beat her.
NO! He wouldn't do any of that. THAT'S what we are to live by. THAT'S what real Christianity is! The Christianity of the middle ages was nothing more than a way of control
That being said, my heart goes out to the homosexuals who were persecuted in the past and continue to be persecuted now
