Entry: The "Lies" of Pope Pius XII Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_lies_of_pope_pius_xii#30845 Post contents: I thought one of the central messages of the Gospels was to honor the spirit of the law? Be not like the Pharisee who claims to be justified because he follows the letter of the law and then some but does not have follow God in his heart. Adultery is a sin punishable by death and Jesus stopped a stoning and asked the accusers to examine their own hearts and told the woman to go forth and sin no more. Protestant evangelicals cite Mark 16:15 as a demand by God to nag people until they become "Christians." But we should move others by love and example. Matthew 23:15 is all about converts becoming Pharisees themselves. They don't live in the Spirit of God which is love, especially for others including and especially your enemies. Legalism and Bible literalism turn Christians into the people that crucified Jesus for not adhering to the literal rules. "Christians" and "Conservatives" these days need to read the Gospels and St Paul's epistles to the Ephesians and Romans. Sent at: 2008 12 02
