    Fundamentalist Christianity is fear-based?

    Truth is where you find it, and I find that all of the denominations you listed - as well as others that you didn’t - possess some aspects of truth.

    Fundamentalist Christianity is fear-based?

    Your faith is listed as Christian. You registered on Christianity Board as a Christian. No one forced you to. Why did you? btw, I also initially registered on Christianity Board as a Christian but later changed it. (My faith is now listed as “Other”.) I am a retired, non-trinitarian, Christian...

    Does religion cause more conflict than it solves?

    No. My comment about the Christ was a generic one. The vast majority of Jews today don’t yet recognize and acknowledge that Jesus of Nazareth, himself a Jew, is the Christ promised, raised up and sent by his God and their God.

    Does religion cause more conflict than it solves?

    Anyone who doesn’t follow the words and commands of Christ will ultimately be found to be in error. I’ve yet to encounter any Jew who would dispute that.

    Fundamentalist Christianity is fear-based?

    Why do you call yourself a Christian? When I read your post I thought about Jesus, and my mind substituted “Jew“ for “Christian”.

    Does religion cause more conflict than it solves?

    “Jesus practiced the religion of first century Judaism.” (“What religion was Jesus?”) https://www.gotquestions.org/what-religion-was-Jesus.html Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, is himself historically rooted in Judaism.

    Does religion cause more conflict than it solves?

    Yes. The fact remains that his religion is Judaism, and Christianity began as a sect of Judaism. Building on what you expressed, the religion of those who are disciples of Jesus is truth.

    What books are you currently reading?

    If your Bible looks like this… don’t just sit there; do something about it. Read! As for me, there’s just a few days remaining in this year’s Bible reading plan. It’s been a good change up (once through the Old Testament, twice through the New Testament) but beginning on January 1 I’ll be...

    What books are you currently reading?

    I’m currently reading Jesus Before Christianity, written by Albert Nolan. It will be interesting to compare what this Roman Catholic author has to say about the Jewish Jesus with what Robert Aron, a Jewish author, said about the Jewish Jesus.

    What books are you currently reading?

    Finished reading Hippolytus’ Treatise On Christ and Antichrist, as well as his Treatise Against The Jews; rather unfortunate (ironic?) timing on the latter. Being as it’s Hannukah, I’m taking a break from Hippolytus (and the other Ante-Nicene Fathers) and reading 1 Maccabees & 2 Maccabees.
