I mean, he preached some pretty messed up values.


Like what?

Like praising the idea of giving all you have to the church, leaving yourself destitute.

Church didn't exist while he was alive so...not sure what you are talking about.

Perhaps you refer to the widow's mite? Thing about that is he didn't encourage her to do it and was just explaining the she gave more than the rich people did which mathematically is true (percents).

Maybe you refer to the rich young ruler? If so, that was to give to the poor and not the Church.

And I am not so sure that is as messed up as you think it is:

You're right, I should have said temple, but the point is that he's praising the act of giving all you possess, which is a horrible thing to do. Hell, at least one of the apostles was described as leaving everything behind to follow him.

That's just irresponsible teaching.

He wasnt natural born. Half white isnt natural born. Kindred means Natural.

Read Federalist #2..John Jay...become enlightened.

Stop being a disingenuous troll. People don't condone white supremacists in these parts and never will. Accept the fact that minorities will always have a place in America.

UnKindred means UnNatural. Naturalization means immigrants and citizens must be the same kindred and natural. Naturalization is a Kind.
