"forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us"
You have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth". But I say to you, do not resist an evildoer. If anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also!!
the big JC himself!! Maybe if Christians were a little more Christian I might feel a little more inclined to be proud of it as a religion. Yet as with all religions, a few nutters use passages of it to spread hatred.
One of THE main things about being a Christian is showing forgiveness to those who harm against you and by being unable to do so, shows weakness in your faith.
I personally think the new testamment is a great book with brilliant morals spread throughout its pages what a shame local vicars and ministers are unable to pass on the true meaning to their congregations.
