Ultimately, interpretations vary, but the concept of divine love often extends even to those deemed "bad."

In contrast, Fundamentalist Christians reacted against these modernist interpretations, affirming a literal reading of the Bible and core Christian doctrines.

Ultimately, both movements reflected broader societal shifts regarding faith, culture, and the interpretation of scripture.

Conservative Christians may support war for various reasons, often interpreting the biblical commandment "Thou shalt not kill" (Exodus 20:13) in the context of justifiable self-defense or the protection of freedom and justice.

Additionally, some view certain wars as part of a divine plan or a necessary response to threats against their values and beliefs. This perspective allows them to reconcile their faith with the complexities of moral and ethical dilemmas in a fallen world.

And it was on his way to Damascus that he heard Jesus' voice saying. " Saul, why are you persecuting me? and in an instant, Saul became blind, and he had to be led by hand into the city, by a Christian called Abnanias.

The moral, justice and discipline you have studied and learned are living with you in the form of spirits. These spirits contact you telepathically when you are about to do a mistake and try to stop you. They are your conscience. They communicate through thoughts which you think that they are your own thoughts. Thoughts are not humans’ own. Thoughts and imaginations are coming from your spirits which live with you.

God never bothers whether people believe in him or not. God's direct intervention in individuals' affairs is very rare. God doesn't watch each and every human being at the same time and cannot live with each and everyone to guide them. These works are done by the spirits. God had created different kinds of spirits for various purposes. He had made the spirits to watch, guide and determine the destiny of the human beings from their daily activities, talks and thoughts too. Your past determines your present and your present determines your future. God has given freewill to all creatures including human beings. According to this, all human beings have all right to live a life as they wish. But if it happens to be bad and hurts someone, they have to face the consequences. These consequences are created by spirits. It's a natural system. After death no one lives in any form. Heaven and hell are only for spirits, not for human beings. God is a mystery even to the spirits. Spirits are not eternal beings but their lifetime is long. Spirits are separate elements. A human being during his/her lifetime is living with many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. They are knowledge, skills, feelings, emotions, instincts, interests and everything. Further there will be always some spirits with you on behalf of your parents, friends, relatives and Gods you believe. Only these spirits make you remember them in a certain situations. All of these spirits are your consciousnesses and memories. Even thoughts are not your own. For example, when you want to take a decision on a subject, one after another the spirits think and you just listen, choose or reject the ideas which they transmit to your mind through your brain in the form of thoughts. A mind is a group/formation of many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. A mind is just like a computer's mind. After the computer is completely destroyed you will not get its mind. The same is the case with the human beings. A brain is a device used by the spirits to control the body and mind. (A senior spirit or a chief can control other spirits) A human being doesn't have a spiritual body. Soul is an energy needed for the functionality of a body. It is not a spirit or anything else. A body's functionality is based on the auto mechanism. After death all spirits which accompanied a person quit and go to different places searching new bodies. No one lives after death in any form. All human beings are just robots made of flesh and bones and toys of the spirits for their games.

Christian scholars who do not believe in the supernatural virgin birth of Jesus Christ may hold views that diverge from traditional Christian doctrine, but this does not necessarily make them "antichristian." Many scholars engage in critical analysis and interpretation of scripture, seeking to understand historical and cultural contexts. Their perspectives can contribute to broader discussions within Christianity, even if they challenge established beliefs. Ultimately, whether one considers them antichristian depends on individual definitions of faith and orthodoxy.
