Thats true of any religion, human nature is to re-write the "laws" divine or man made to suit their own needs. Allot of people use an "eye for an eye" as if gives them the right to hurt others for projected slights. But the reality is the verse limits the degree one may retaliate a situation.
Also allot of Christians don't realize their are catagories of chirstians,
Cathilics...
Duh... The first group to call themselves Christians, a mix of various Roman cults, paganism & Christan (at the time a sect of Judism).
Prodistants...
Those who left Catholism to follow the strick teachings of the New Testamant. Many times picking and choosing what they feel will aid their personal views.
New-Age/Agostic Christians...
Often those who belive in a universal god, so that they mix and match religions quite commonly. Some of this is fine, since there is a common thread between the four major "God religions" Christianity, Judism, Islam & Zoroastria (the Three Wisemen may have been Zorostrian Magi from Persia). In other cases such as mixing various Shamanist, Pagan or purely making up gospel based on personal views is questioning.
Evangelistic Jews...
Either, Jews who convert to Christianty but keep the "Jewist title" or Christians who don't feel a seperation between the two religions so they call themselves "Jews" as Christ was infact Jewish and never mentioned a seperation of the Jewish people.
