Why is it that in the Old Testament and in history past has there been so much bloodshed in the name of the Christian God?

When Jesus encountered those who were not His followers he didn't cast them out or shame them, He told them to come along. Our hope is that if you are someone who has had a hard time with the church or maybe no experience at all, that you would let us answer some questions to put you at ease. There are a lot of bad churches out there and contrary to how they may have made you feel, we believe you belong.
