Christ never taught revenge or oppression. He never forced or coerced people to faith.
His teachings are to love and forgive as He has loved and forgiven us. That doesn’t mean sin is over looked. He also admonished people to go and sin no more.
The message of the Gospel contains warnings about what will happen if you don’t believe, but that is just alerting you to the consequences. The choice is still yours.
There is no dark side to the teachings of Jesus as there are to the teachings of Mohammed.
According to the teachings of both, what is the fate of Jews in the afterlife?
And as I pointed out, Christians embrace a lot more than just the New Testament. You won’t find the words of Jesus in the Old Testament; and Christians behave properly by not using it as justification for their actions. But many still do.
From that perspective, they may not be following Jesus’ teachings. From the Jewish point of view, as well, the Mosaic covenant does not apply to Christians, it is only for Jews. The Christians belong to the Noachide covenant. But Christians still abide by the Ten Commandments, even though Jesus never mentioned them as Christian doctrine.
And this is the dark side of Christians: cherry picking the doctrines of the Hebrews and choosing those parts that they like, but are not Christian.
“Christ never taught revenge or oppression. He never forced or coerced people to faith. His teachings are to love and forgive as He has loved and forgiven us.”
What about his Father...THE Father?
