Supposing there was a group of people traveling about your area, led by a charismatic speaker who claims that the world is ending soon. He promises he alone can save you, but only if you sell your belongings, devote the rest of your life to him, and cut off family members who try to stop you.
He also wants to change your name, advises you to leave your home/job if necessary to follow him, and says that if you don’t love him more than your own family, you’re not worthy of him. What sort of group is that?
I quite disagree with your view about Christianity. Christians do not cut off family members that are not christians.
I don't even get the change your name part. Care to explain?
Most of the laws we see in our lands were gotten from the bible, like isolating people with contagious diseases for instance. The bible contains principles that are for our own benefits, that's why I believe in it. One does not even need to be a christian to benefit from the knowledge found in the scripture.
@alexbeyman Is there any group going through your area doing that? if yes, then I don't think you have to follow them but if not, then don't be disturbed. But in case of next time, you want to comment on a post, please try to say something related to the post... thereby you will be contributing to the post and might just end us helping others. thanks!
It is related. Jesus said and did all of those things in the Bible.
Yea Christ said and did all that. But if I may ask, what point are you trying to make? clearify me please.
Those are all the same things we today identify with cult leaders
Please help me get a clearer understanding what is happening here on steemit and how I can grow in the community.
There is no trick to it. I can't help you get rich. I wish I could. All I did was to work hard. I have been posting 4 items per day for 2 years.
awesome!
what does it take for you to upvote and resteem someones post? cause I see you've got all the steem power to do that. its called helping someone grow. Thanks even as you give it a thought.
I don't want to help you grow. Your content promotes Christianity, which I regard as a contagious system of mind control. I will also not try to hinder you however.
