Reza Aslan Quote

He was a man of profound contradictions, one day preaching a message of racial exclusion (I was sent solely to the lost sheep of Israel; Matthew 15:24), the next, of benevolent universalism (Go and make disciples of all nations; Matthew 28:19); sometimes calling for unconditional peace (Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the sons of God; Matthew 5:9), sometimes promoting violence and conflict (If you do not have a sword, go sell your cloak and buy one; Luke 22:36).
