The teachings of Jesus Christ?
“Slaves obey your masters” that one or a different one?
More like: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
He said more than that, though. They’re probably following the other Jesus who called a foreign woman a dog, along other things. Let’s take a closer look.
Jesus fails to “turn the other cheek” and instead gets violent: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+21:12-13

Okay, but what about the not-kind things Jesus said? How are the people following those words somehow not Christian?
Jesus has little to do with Christianity and Christendom. The Jesus story is more of a bait for nice people.
So please answer the question: what evidence do you have that these people aren’t “Christian?”
