Bible-Bashing

Travelling through and searching the Net can be a real eye-opener...Recently I happened to come across several sites that make Jesus prayer for the unity of the believers in John 17 seem like the biggest Utopia the Bible has to offer. More improbable than God creating the World in 6 literal days. "By this all men will know that you are my disciples, that you love one another..." I find the Bible is being abused; one group attacking and degrading the other with their particular understanding of certain passages... and everybody so convinced that they are fighting a "Holy War" for truth, slandering brothers and sisters in the name of the Letter.
This is so sick!!!
Look at the Cross! Here is love, vast as the ocean! Here is Jesus giving his all for his ENEMIES! If a person confesses Christ as the crucified, risen and only saving Lord, no matter how different our opinions might be, this person is my BROTHER and SISTER and not my enemy. Sigh...Fight for truth we still must, but in which spirit???
