For those Christians who read their bible, it might come as no surprise that their god has stipulated a number of guidelines and values that should guide his followers.   Here are some of them;


1)  I did not come to bring peace BUT a SWORD. (Matthew 10:34)

2)   Do NOT go into the towns of the Gentiles (Matt 10: 5)

3)   I was sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel (Matthew 15:22-28)

4)   Abandon your family and follow me. (Matt 8:21, Matt 10:21. Matt 10: 34-37,  Matt 19: 29, Matt 23:9
Matt 24: 19,  Mark 10: 29 - 30,

5)  Caused suffering to innocent animals by inflicting demons on them (Matt 8:28; Mark 5:1; Luke 8:26)

6)  Advocated the killing of recalcitrant children (Matthew 15: 4)

7)  Advocated  and upheld the laws of the Old Testament (Matt 5)

8-)  Advocated eternity in hell (Matt. 13:40-42,  2 Th. 1:7-9,  Rev. 20:10, Rev. 14:10, Jn. 3:18; 6:35, 40; Lk. 23:43; 24:47)

9)  Advocated a life without planning for the morrow (Matt 6: 31- 34)

10)  Advocated passiveness to unwarranted aggression and oppression.(Luke 6: 24-31,  Matthew 5: 37-45)

11)  Killed an innocent tree for not having fruits out of season (Matthew 21:18-19; 20-22 and Mark 11:12-14; 20-25)

13)  Advocated the maiming of bodily parts to avoid sin. (Matt 5: 27, Mark 9: 39 - 40)

14)  A bar on the divorce from remarrying (Matt 5:32)




To what extend is the ordinary Christian life governed by these injunctions or which of these do Christians agree with?

Do you share any of these values of the Christian god?
