A few excerpts from an article by Stephen Mattson titled "Not Everything 'Biblical' Is Christlike".
"While the Bible can be manipulated to say and mean almost anything, the words, actions, and life of Jesus aren’t as pliable."
"For Christianity, the litmus test should always be: Is this Christlike? Imagine all of the times were read, see, and hear the term ‘biblical’ used. Now practice changing the wording to ‘Christlike’: Would you rather your church be biblical or Christlike? Would you rather a political policy be biblical or Christlike? Would you rather someone’s actions be biblical or Christlike? Would you rather have your beliefs be the most biblical or the most Christlike? Would you prefer a life that is biblical or Christlike?"
I recommend the article to you. You can read it here.
