Christianity Quote by J. Chace Gordon
““This flawed argument is the basis for many who reject real Christianity to create their own brand. If we cannot understand God or His ways, then there is no true standard with which we must conform. We can throw out the Bible or simply pick the parts we like, discarding the uncomfortable parts and make a show of religion asking the question: “What Would Jesus Do?” while ignoring the more pertinent question: “What DID Jesus Do?””
