Synopsis

The Christian faith is barely recognizable today compared to its foundational doctrines and beliefs outlined in the Bible. Biblical teachings on bias, partiality, indifference, and warnings of greed, lust, and the love of money seem foreign to today’s Christian church. Blinded by desire and enslaved to the flesh, this body seems incapable of brotherly love, personal charity towards the stranger, living justly, having mercy, and walking humbly before their God. And, in this ethos, they have inflicted much pain and suffering amongst the brethren. Looking at the world today, you see the extensive division among people. Witnessing this phenomenon in action is incredible because it has helped resolve the division among people. The one thing all people seem to agree upon---Black people, White people, Asian people, Indian people, English people, French people, Scandinavian people, and Caribbean people---is that they dislike someone or their group and feel comfortable expressing their dislike in some form of public expression. Not even the gospel of love could unite the world so boldly in love and support for one another. Where does this power of influence come from?
