Christian ideals, with a focus on “Sermon on the Mount”, do not condone the actions that take place in the roman arena events. There is an overall focus on goodness. Jesus’s teachings really emphasised not doing wrong in the eyes of the lord, though there is not an emphasis upon a ruler's duty regarding the wrongdoings, yet, there are consequences that should be observed.

Inherent Value in the Sermon on the Mount (and the Plain) Critical analysis of Christian doctrine often suggests overlapping principles concerning teachings. That is, the teachings of one individual, such as a disciple of Christ are re-interpreted and introduced by another, heightening discussion on historical relevance, intent, ethical implications and methods of delivery.

In the Gospel of Matthew, written between A.D. 60-65, Jesus shares directions for living in his kingdom, especially during the Sermon on the Mount.

book of Mathew and Luke, makes me proud that we can appreciate such works without taking it too far.
