A typical example of this theological gerrymandering is found in Christian Ethic by Georgia Harkness;
-…There is a verse at the end of the parable of the pounds as it is given in Luke which is generally omitted when the story is read. In Luke 19;27 appear the words; "But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me." Why do we omit it? Because it does not sound like Jesus! It simply does not seem like the words of one who could say on the cross, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." And even though the textual accuracy of Luke 19;27 is less disputed than of Luke 23;34, we still believe it is the latter in which the real Jesus speaks.6

In the course of taking an unprejudiced look at Jesus as portrayed in the Gospels, we shall briefly consider the following questions;
A) What were the central purpose, theme and scope of Jesus'mission?
B) To what extent were the moral precepts of Jesus original?
C)How are the major precepts of Jesus to be evaluated from ethical and psychological perspectives?
A) The Jesus of the Gospels does not regard himself primarily as a moralist, nor was he so regarded throughout most of Christianity's history; rather, his basic mission was to preach the coming of God's kingdom, and his basic precept was that men must devote themselves totally to God if they wish to enter the heavenly kingdom. "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand"-these words, according to Matthew, 4.17, inaugurated the crusade of Jesus. And later in Matthew 22.37-38, Jesus says; "you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment." Otherworldliness, total devotion (i.e., obedience), and mandatory love thus emerge as Jesus' basic themes.

النموذج المثالي لهذا الغشّ اللاهوتي يوجد في الاخلاق المسيحي من قبل جورجيا هاركنسHarkness؛
-… هناك سورة في نهاية حكايات التوراة التي سلمت الي لوك وبشكل عام تمت حذفها عندما تقرأ القصّة . في لوك 19;27 تظهر الكلمات التالية؛ " أما بالنسبة إلى هؤلاء الأعداء لي، الذين لم يريدوني أن أحكمهم، اجلبهم هنا واذبحهم أمامي ." لماذا نحذفه؟ لأنه لا يبدو مثل السيد المسيح! ببساطة لا يبدو مثل كلمات المرء الذي يستطيع القول على الصليب، "أبي، اغفر لهم؛ لانهم يعرفون ما لا يعرفون ." وبالرغم من أنّ دقة النصّية للوك 19;27 أقل تنازعا من لوك 23;34، نحن ما زلنا نعتقد بأنّه الأخير الذي تكلم فيه السيد المسيح الحقيقي. 6

أثناء القاء نظرة غير متحيّزة في السيد المسيح كما صوّرت في الإنجيل، نحن سننظر في المسائل التالية سريعا؛
A) ما ذا كان صلب الهدف ، الموضوع والبعد لمهمة سيد المسيح ؟
B) إلى أيّ مدى كانت النصائح الأخلاقية للسيد المسيح أصلية؟
C) كيف يتم النصائح الرئيسية للسيد المسيح تقيمها من المنظورات الأخلاقية والنفسية؟
A) السيد المسيح للإنجيل لا يعتبر نفسه اساسا فيلسوف أخلاقي، ولا يعتبر لذا في كافة أنحاء أغلب تأريخ المسيحية؛ بالأحرى، مهمّته الأساسية كانت أن توصي بظهور مملكة الله، ونصيحتة الاساسية كانت بأن يجب علي الرجال أن يكرّسوا أنفسهم كليا إلى الله إذا يتمنّون دخول المملكة السماوية. "استغفر ، لاجل مملكة السماء المتناول في اليد" - هذه الكلمات، طبقا لماثيو، 4.17، إفتتحت الحملة الصليبية للسيد المسيح. ولاحقا في ماثيو 22.37-38، قال السيد المسيح ؛ "أنت ستحب ربك الاله بكلّ قلبك، وبكل روحك ، وبكلّ عقلك . هذه الوصية العظيمة والأولى." Otherworldliness ، الحرص علي الدنيا الاخرة ، الوفاء المطلق (وبمعنى آخر ، الطاعة)، وهكذا يظهر الحبّ إلالزامي كمواضيع السيد المسيح الأساسية.
