Christianity has changed over the centuries and for this I am thankful. We no longer kill each other for using a different mode of baptism. We no longer own slaves since the Civil War. The Southern Baptists have officially said sorry for their position on slavery in 1995. We let women speak in church. Women get to vote. Many believe hell is not literal fire but separation. For all these things I am truly thankful. Some Christians still believe that the only Bible that is the TRUE Bible is the KJV. And some hard core fundamentalists still believe in a literal burning, eternal HELL where most of humanity will be CAST against their will as punishment. Of course CS Lewis thinks hell is figurative not literal and it is locked from the inside. And this is good. I am looking forward to the day when the all of the 34,000 Christian sects will be united in love and we will all believe just as in Adam all died so also in Christ all shall be made alive.
