The Nazarene Jew Jeshua, better known as Jesus Christ, was born in a multicultural society which was oppressed by the Roman victors, but Jesus warned others always to give the Caesar what belonged to the Caesar and not to go against political measures as long as those did not against God’s rules. Jesus his great and first commandment or golden rule to take an open position to other people, liking them as if they are our brothers and sisters is the most important rule which should feed every Christian to love his neighbour whatever his thoughts may be, an atheist, believing in pagan gods, believing in science or worshipping One God, the God of Abraham or worshipping themselves.
Those who call themselves Christian should normally worship the God of Abraham, Who is also the God of Jesus , the God of Isaac the God of the Jews and the God of the Muslims. We do agree the majority in Christendom may worship an other God than real Christians, Jews and Muslims do, because they have taken Jesus, the son of God also as their god. But the monotheist worshippers should also show respect to those trinitarian Christians, though they do not follow the Holy Scriptures, but human dogmatic teachings.
The trinitarian Christians also should come to see the importance of Jesus his teachings and what it means to show their love to others like Jesus loved the people around him and even gave his life for all of them, good but also bad people, all sinners.
In moments of crisis the real soul, the real feelings mostly comes to the surface, and then we come to know the real ‘I’ or the real person. Today with the refugee crisis, all Christians should show how they are united in Christ and are willing to open their arms, their hearts and their houses, for those who are in need.
Those who call themselves Christian should always carry in mind that Christianity is a love affair and may not forget the important sign of belief, to be chained by the brotherly love.
If we love one another, God lives in us

To take note of:
- Viktor Orban, Prime Minister of Hungary, grew up in a former communist regime + educated as an atheist, displays view of Christianity that could be questioned by the very sources of Christianity itself.
- Jesus = great spiritual leader > has great respect for the habits, traditions, scriptures + laws of his people
- traditions are not ends in themselves => directed towards a goal surpassing them
- rules = means at the service of individual human beings and society as a whole
- priority of neighbourly love = existing culture tested against extent to which it helps to avoid making victims + to which it allows for authentic human lives
- salvation of the world = in the imitation of the way Jesus = look within own culture or social organization to the sources that allow to make cultural or social traditions relative to the goal of neighbourly love

Germany’s Frankfurter Allgemeine newspaper published an op-ed by Orban in which he claimed that he was defending European Christianity against a Muslim influx by stopping thousands of refugees from leaving Hungary. […] “We shouldn’t forget that the people who are coming here grew up in a different religion and represent a completely different culture. Most are not Christian, but Muslim… That is an important question, because Europe and European culture have Christian roots,” he wrote. (From Muslims threaten Europe’s Christian identity, Hungary’s leader saysby Rick Noack, The Washington Post, September 3, 2015).
Dear Mr. Viktor Orban, Prime Minister of Hungary,
I know you grew up in a former communist regime and that you were educated as an atheist. Maybe that’s one of the reasons why you display a certain view of Christianity that could be questioned by the very sources of Christianity itself.
There is no such thing…
