Gregory A. Boyd Quotes

When The Kingdom Of God Is Manifested, It's Obvious. It Looks Like Jesus. But America As A Nation Has Clearly Never Looked Remotely Like Jesus. There Was Nothing Distinctively Christlike About The Way America Was "discovered," Conquered, Or Governed In The Early Years. To The Contrary, The Way This Nation Was "discovered," Conquered, And Governed Was A Rather Typical, Barbaric, Violent, Kingdom-of-the-world Affair. The Immoral Barbarism Displayed In The Early (and Subsequent) Years Of This Country Was, Sadly, Pretty Typical By Kingdom-of-the-world Standards. The Fact That It Was Largely Done Under The Banner Of Christ Doesn't Make It More Christian, Any More Than Any Other Bloody Conquest Done In Jesus' Name Throughout History (such As The Crusades And The Inquisition) Qualifies Them As Christlike.
