In the Bible it says to love our brothers and sisters‚ Robin Hood judges people by their appearance. The fruit of who he really is doesn’t apply to who a Christian is supposed to be. Yes‚ he helps children and women and only hurts those who have done wrong. But being a Christian is not only about helping it’s about being forgiving and patient to those who don’t understand what
