comment Why isn't the virgin birth of Jesus mentioned in all of the gospels?
I guess everything should be in every book in order to please everyone. Jude would have to be a bit bigger, I guess.

comment Does following Christian spiritual law extremely, cause one to sin more?
That is certainly debatable and definitely not biblical.

comment What are the reasons for calling oneself a “follower of Jesus” rather than a Christian?
@TRiG The idea that Christianity is a cultural construct is completely untenable. Would you consider Jesus, Peter or Paul as anti-Semitic? The evidence is certainly debatable. Darwin was certainly a racist. Jesus certainly was not.

Yes, the Popes and other Christians who were anti-Semitic were wrong. That is not in question. (hating Kansas may actually not be a sin, though)

@MarcGravell Yes, there are and have been (and will be) people who claim to be Christians who are anti-Semitic. Yet that is inconsistent with the teachings of the Bible. So, any Christian who is anti-Semitic is living contrary to true Christianity in that aspect. It doesn't mean Christianity is anti-Semitic--far from it. It only means that there are Christians who have aspects of their lives that are still not in line with true holiness--something true for all of us in one area or another. I, being from Mizzou, hate Kansas Jaysquawk basketball a little too much, among other things.

@TRiG The Bible is explicitly pro-Jewish. Christianity began with 1 Jewish Man and 12 Jewish followers. The gospel is to the Jew first. True followers of Jesus, the Jewish Messiah, would be anything but anti-semitic. Hitler's racism actually has its origins in evolutionary theory, which supports the idea that one race is superior to another--an idea that the Bible flatly contradicts.
