Folks, as Christians our only purpose in life is to Glorify God in everything we do. That means to mirror Christ in the way we live. I fall short of that often, but God in His Sovereignty is working on me and sanctifying me. We are called "...to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27 “...Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." Mat 25:31-46 This the work we are to do for the Lord. We are to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We do that by the way we live and by sharing our testimonies. We are to focus our eyes on the prize...namely eternal life with our Lord. This other stuff...burning books fighting double-standard...that's not for us. I'm not saying we don't defend the truth. Rebuke the false prophets, but "Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord." Romans 12:19
Irshad, I would submit to you "Man" since his existence has been intolerant, violent and blood thirsty. Christianity, as most who are Christian will define it, is not a religion. Being a Christian does not mean being a part of a group, its about believing that you are a sinner, that the only way that you can escape and be saved from God's imminent wrath is through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
Man, not Christianity, is depraved, violent and blood thirsty. Read Romans Chapter 3. Man has taken Christianity and in some circumstances used it for the wrong. Take this quran burning pastor. Who knows what personal gain he thought he was going to get out of it. I'm sure there was pride and hate that motivated the book burning. That's not Jesus...that's not Christianity...that's man's sinful flesh. I suspect that he backed out of it because somebody rebuked him and pointed him to God's word which told him he wasn't walking in the Spirit.
Praise God He has provided us with His Holy Spirit to convict us and teach us. Praise God he
