What if someone likes to belittle others and sees it as a challenge when someone else tries to belittle them.
You can only go so far with that quote. Everybody is not on the same level when it comes to doing unto others. What I might do may seem cool to me and flat out wrong to the next person.
I say if you are a christian, stick to what the bible says. We do need the bible for guidance. Yes it was used to justify things, but where did those passages come from, New or Old Testement?
Jesus' teachings are strictly in the New Testement. He even says, I know you've heard this but I came to say this..... meaning that some of the things you learned from the old testement has changed. In the New Testement it clearly shows that all men are equal in the eyes of the Lord.
So I say the bible (especially the new testement) is your guide. Use it.
P.S. I dont mean to pick and chose what you read, but you know that if you read "an eye for an eye" in the old testement, it has been corrected in the new testement (ie. turn the other cheek).
