Compare the teachings of any sect through the dark ages, compare the teachings of "The Church" through the Crusades and the inquisition to the forgiving, all inclusive, sodomite loving God presented today.

People claim, "Those were not real Christians."

But they were the only Christians extant at the time.

So, who is wrong in their interpretation of scripture, and of God?

Or, has God evolved as the priesthood has seen fit to maximize the size of their congregations, and keep the offering plate filled, as well as the priest's bellies.


The gospel has never changed over the years. No one is disputing that people tried to use the authority of the Bible to justify their notions. The same thing happens today when liberals try to use our constitution to justify their moral aberrancy. The answer is not to throw out the constitution but to bring people back to the original understanding and intent for it.

BTW throughout the middle ages their always was the persecution of those who followed the teachings of Christ sincerely.
