» jlfdd - The history of the early and modern church
Is full of cruelties, to both women and men, and children and animals; and each other.Here is my personal cross: How can I possibly say I am a Christian with this history to refer to?
My solutions: I am a child of God and a disciple of the Christ. That's all I need to be.

» Snead - The church?
It is made up of people. People not much different than pagans or heathens.Most are just a step between heathens and Christians. They are heathens who have heard the Truth and rejected it. Heathens are people who have not had the opportunity to receive it. Christians are the ones who have accepted the Truth.
It is a mistake to consider murderers and other criminals in the same group as the early 1st Century Christian Church or the modern Church consisting of the Bride of Christ.
