All paths

Além da Doutrina: Ética e Prática Cristã

O maior mandamento, amar o inimigo, sexo, dinheiro, política e as guerras culturais — o que Jesus realmente ensinou sobre viver.

  1. 1

    The greatest commandment should control all doctrines

    The greatest commandment is not a devotional ornament: it is the criterion that judges doctrines, traditions and practices in the light of Christ and love for others.

  2. 2

    Loving your enemy is the most ignored teaching in Christianity

    Jesus commands love for the enemy, and the church tends to treat it as an impractical ideal. This text shows that obedience to Christ excludes revenge and dehumanization.

  3. 3

    Did Jesus authorize his followers to judge?

    Jesus condemns hypocritical judgment, but not discernment. The disciple can correct fruits and teachings; cannot usurp God's final judgment.

  4. 4

    How many witnesses are needed for an indictment?

    Biblical discipline requires prudence: accusations do not become condemnation without serious investigation, and Jesus' process rejects both rumor and institutional shielding.

  5. 5

    Christianity talks more about sex than Jesus did

    This text shows that Jesus spoke about sex, but did not make sexual morality the center of faith; justice, mercy and faithfulness occupy this place.

  6. 6

    Jesus and money: the topic that churches avoid

    Jesus confronts the attachment to money and dismantles the theology of prosperity, calling the disciple to freedom in the face of wealth.

  7. 7

    Is prosperity a blessing or can it be a temptation?

    Prosperity can be a blessing, but also a temptation. The text confronts the theology of prosperity and the idolatry of merit in the light of Jesus.

  8. 8

    Christianity and political power are a dangerous combination

    When faith allies with the State to win, the cross is exchanged for the logic of empire. Jesus redefines power as service and refuses domination.

  9. 9

    Jesus didn’t call his followers to win culture wars

    Jesus rejects sacralized violence and the logic of domination. Discipleship is measured by service, humility and love for enemies, not by cultural victory.

  10. 10

    Does truth without love still be Christian truth?

    The truth remains true, but it ceases to act as Christian truth when it is used to dominate. In Christ, truth and love do not compete.
