I think that true Christians follow the teachings of Jesus and don't get hung up in the details.

The King James Bible is an attempt to appease different and coflicting interprations of scripture at that time. Different interpretations are read into it now. Still conflicting.

The teachings of Jesus are illuminated by The Sermon on the Mount and very few Christians followor practice it.

Joe Campbell says that because of this, Christianity in accordance with Jesus' teachings is a pacifist religion.

Pacifism is incorrectly interpreted as a passivism. In fact, pacifism is a highly proactive way of life and encompasses non-violent resistance. That's what Jesus did. That's why they felt they had to get rid of him
