Misconceptions of Christianity | TheLedger.com
I have been hearing and reading so much that Christianity is a barbaric, false religion, and I am tired of it. First of all, Christianity is not a religion as the world knows it. Christianity is having a true relationship with Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God Jehovah.I keep hearing all of this negative, ridiculing garbage coming from the atheists and those who follow Allah. First of all, Allah was started as a religion after the birth of Ishmael, Abraham's son by a concubine of Sarah, in Mesopotamia. Isaac was the true son of Abraham that God gave to Abraham.True Christianity does not teach violence, hatred, murder. Nor does it teach slavery, as many have accused it of doing. Yes, in the Old Testament there were slaves, but God commanded the owners to treat the slaves with respect as they would their own children, then after seven years they could go free if they wanted, and the owner was to divide their portion as a child would get.Christianity is about love and having a relationship with Jesus Christ. Allah is a false god, and he cannot save, forgive sin or heal, and he cannot hear when one prays to him.My Jesus can do all of that. We are in terrible times. We need Jesus in our hearts, and we need to live for him and love him with all that is within us.I do not hate those who believe in other gods, but the world needs Jesus.DOUGLAS ELLIOTTHaines City
