    Whatever happened too "if a Man slaps you on one cheek, turn and give him the other'? What about Love and forgiveness. What about give away your Wealth and follow Jesus? Whatever happened to living as per the Gospels?

    I think it's almost impossible to be a true Christian nowadays. I couldn't and don't profess to be.

    Leviticus 24:19-21 echoes this assertion, "Anyone who injures their neighbor is to be injured in the same manner: fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. The one who has inflicted the injury must suffer the same injury."

    I like it. That's my philosophy. But Christians are supposed to live by the Gospels, the teachings of Jesus Christ - Christianity.

    Buy I'm more old Testament too. God forgives, I don't :D
