--In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said: "Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again." (Luke 6:30, repeated in Matthew 5:42) Try asking Christians for their houses and possessions, and see how faithful they are to the teachings of Jesus. Borrow a Christian's car and see if they ever ask for it back. Modern believers know that Jesus was wrong and the bible is not to be taken literally.

What you say is very true. Many of Christ's teachings were completely impracticable for real life and have been quietly dropped. Some eminent theologians now do not even believe in the resurrection.
Christianity has been changed beyond recognition and those who adhere to literal interpretation of the bible are considered brainwashed fools.

What Jesus was telling them is that when someone wrongs you, rather than trying to get even, or even focusing on simply getting your own possessions back, do what will lead this person to a saving faith in Christ. When an unbeliever gets a loving response to a cruel act, they wonder "Why is this Christian being nice to me? What kind of God does he serve?" I recently had this happen to me - I was wronged and had something taken from me. I prayed that God would reveal to me what to do. The response I gave this person was to forgive him, and if not now, someday it will have a positive impact on him.
One of my brother's ex bosses once told me that she's a Christian now because of the way my brother would respond to being treated unfairly by superiors in the company (including herself!)

well riku it doesnt mean what you say ,it more means that you should willingly help others and to not expect them to give you somthing in replacment in return. like if you gave some one desperit for money a dollar you should not expect that dollar back.

I don't follow all of Christ's teachings because I do not believe he is anything other than a teacher and like most teachers they don't know EVERYTHING about everything.

Because I'm not sure WHAT he really said. It has been changed so many times to fit clergy men's agendas.
