The difference between heathens and Christians is not as great as most people think
But in daily life, in the daily manifestations of the beings, the difference between these two spiritual directions is not so very overwhelming.
As long as the beings who are baptised into the Christian teachings can still make war, take revenge and punish, be intolerant towards all beings who think differently from them, lie or cheat and, either covertly or openly, even steal, rob or plunder, then they are absolutely not true "Christian" people but serve the God of the heathens, even if they officially have a "Bible" in which it is taught that one should love one's neighbour as oneself.
To be a true "Christian" person is thus not decided by being baptised or confirmed in the church or by taking Holy Communion.
"Christian" beings who are both baptised and confirmed, and have all these formalities in order, can still be "heathens", while "heathens" or beings who are neither baptised nor confirmed nor know anything about Holy Communion or other "Christian" phenomena, can well be "Christian".
"Christianity", which should here be understood as the very highest form of neighbourly love, is not something that should only be manifested with words and the tongue, as is the case with all "Christians" who are in conflict with their neighbour or wage war with the beings around them, but it should, to the very highest degree, be manifested in "action and truth".
The two great world wars as well as the other wars that have been waged in the world are no part of "Christianity", but on the contrary of "heathendom".
As we see, the fulfilment of the gospel of Christianity leaves much to be desired in the average terrestrial human being.
