Does that mean... I'm a true christian?...

 Only one person has ever been identified as a true Christian.  Onesimus!

Here we go again, using bastardized versions of the Bible whenever it suits your agenda.

The word "christian" has been added to that version of the Bible, as it doesn't exist in the KJV of the Bible.

Quote:Philemon 15-16 The Message (MSG)
15 Maybe it’s all for the best that you lost him for a while. You’re getting him back now for good—
16 and no mere slave this time, but a true Christian brother! That’s what he was to me—he’ll be even more than that to you.


Quote:Philemon 15-16 King James Version (KJV)
15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;
16 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?

Also notice how the underlined portion in the KJV is left out of the MSV version altogether.

Quote:Revelation 22 King James Version (KJV)
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Huggy, everyone out of jail uses a bastardised version of the bible.
How else can it work.

Society, morality and the laws have progressed in the last 2000 years.
No God, No fear.

Love hasn't progressed....

Quote:Mark 12
29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

If everyone loved their fellow man, we'd live in an utopia, as there would be no need for laws.
