Mquirice, in case you haven't noticed, you can find anything you want in that book. The same Christ that said what you quote disrupted by violence the operations of businessmen. He led the Romans to fear armed rebellion. In the OT, which is the first book of Christianity and the basis of much the morality for many that claim that name, you can find bloodletting by the gallon sanctioned by God.

And you are hardly the first to claim to hold the Keys to the Kingdom in his hands. Jim Jones and David Koresh did too.

You wish to decide who is and is not a Christian? Do you wish to restart those centuries of religious wars in Europe?

There is another virtue Christian claim, Mquirice: modesty.
