Misconceptions of Christianity

Image
It's commonplace today to criticize religion, particularly Christianity probably because this is the dominant faith amongst Americans and Western culture. Not to say others have not recently or ever in our history are criticized the same way. I am only going into the misconceptions surrounding Christianity, both from the view of today's Church and secular opinion. 1: Christianity Is Thoughtless and Unreasonable St. Peter writes that we must have a reason for the hope that is in us (1 Peter 3:15.) Christianity is not a blind Faith at all as we are exhorted continually to read and study the Scriptures. Not everything is literal word-for-word for us to follow. The Bible is jam-packed with varying genres and writing styles. Take for instance the Book of Psalms; it's a song book. To many it may not appear that way however the original language would really make it flow better than our contemporary translations. A Christian also should know how Jesus Christ and the Law relate
