Mormon leaders, military veterans and elected officials reacted with anger to a new Department of Defense policy that does not consider The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to be a Christian religion as part of a wider effort to cut down the U.S. military’s list of recognized faiths.
“The Pentagon’s decision to list The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints apart from other Christian faiths is wrong and needs to be corrected,” Republican Rep. Mike Kennedy, of heavily Mormon Utah, wrote on X on Sunday.
How often did Jesus teach about how dark skin was a curse from God?
That's what you responded to and you just admitted your original answer was bullshit. They didn't say "Christianity" they said "Jesus."
People dismiss a lot of the Old Testament because it's largely irrelevant since Jesus "died for our sins" and we stopped paying attention to a lot of the laws from back then like wearing clothes of many different types of fibers or men shaving their beards.
As someone who was raised Christian but is an atheist now, but even with all the crazy bullshit I dealt with in the sect I was raised in, the mark of Cain was never connected to race.
But it's dismissed because a lot of the Old Testament literally doesn't matter now. Modern Christian's don't sacrifice lambs to God, because Jesus was the sacrifice for everyone. It's not dismissed by apologists, it's also dismissed by many mainline Christian sects (Catholicism respects the Old Testament more than protestant churches). The Old Testament is the history, and is similar to the Jewish texts it was pulled from, so only the New Testament really matters in the larger picture of Christianity.
