I agree that the heart, soul, and mind are arguably the same thing, but this meant that you need to fully love God with all of your being. If Jesus meant to only love your fellow Israelite why did he consistently show love to the Samaritans? And why did the Apostles consistently pray for the Gentiles, whom apparently they weren't supposed to care about?
Jesus didn't preach about eternal torture. It just isn't there. The Ten Commandments do promise punishment to Israelites if they don't obey them because they voluntarily entered a covenant. The Old Covenant doesn't apply to us because of Jesus and His message, which again didn't include torture.
And, in conclusion, stating "we're right and you're wrong" is somewhat intolerant, don't you think?
This is a response to geoff.
Modern Christianity does miss the mark on some points, but when has Christianity ever been perfect? Even Paul had to deal with false teachings and the like. The fact is Christianity has never hit the mark and never will. I do think some churches miss the mark more than others, but the question "does modern Christianity miss the mark" is a pretty sweeping generalization. Assuming this just refers to Christianity in America, there is a massive diversity of churches in America: religious right churches, Roman Catholicism, nondenominational churches, and many, many others. The Salvation Army is part of this modern Christianity and it provides billions of dollars worth of social aid each year. Revolution Church is another excellent example of modern Christianity playing its proper role. On the whole modern Christianity provide billions with a morality to be better people
