Funny how good christians pick and choose what to believe as it suites their own tastes. Apparently Jesus is a bit too liberal for most conservatives.
You are not really correct in your implication, it makes the sacrifice of Jesus Christ in vain. The Christian church doctrine begins after the crucifixion NOT before it.
If you magnify the gospels above the epistles then what did Jesus death accomplish? The advent of the holy spirit on Pentecost was not even come! Jesus' death and resurrection accomplished holy boldness!
How you err in regards to the "power" of God though the Holy Spirit.
Christians should be prosperous and not downtrodden. It is the joy to serve and yes love rules but if your neighbor hates you and wants you dead what are you going to do about it? God will tell you when the time comes but it will not involve cowardly concessions in the name of liberal progressivism.
