8. Then you don't know many of them

Needless to say, I haven't heard of a church that instructs membership about Jesus's command that proof of their love for him requires them to love their neighbors and their enemies, to care for those in need.


Nearly all of them adhere to the love their neighbours and caring for those in need. It's just that they have a rather limited view of who their neighbours are. Usually other church members.

They are also all in on some of the other teachings that you chose to ignore, like considering Jews a nest of vipers and supporting violence against those committing non-violent offenses.

Funny how those so often get glossed over.
