Quote: (Originally Posted by RMadd) .... however, this former believer fails to grasp the general theme of the New Testament and its significance to Christians. for one, God the Father plays a far lesser role in the day to day affairs of believers. you simply don't see him coming down and smiting those opposed to Him or His Son. Likewise, Jesus Christ, His Only Son, offered that loving thy neighbor is the most important commandment. Jesus smites no one; the closest he comes to so doing is breaking up the selling that had begun to occur in the temple. "ex-christian" also forgets that Jesus kinda died for our sins and kinda rose again, so that we believers wouldn't have to die painful deaths and be judged guilty in front of God. Jesus became guilty for us so that God, who admits He is vengeful, would not wipe us out together.

Maybe the "Easter Challenge" should help in hitting the NT
