The Christians are Evil?

[TheTypist]

Not to burst anyone's bubble, but...


21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Matthew 7:21-23


Easy for God to tell, but on human terms? We can put on quite a good show. We can even fool ourselves well enough to think we are truly Christians. As a result, there are probably far too many flying under that banner.

Now that's not to say that no real Christ-follower ever lives in sin, because everyone lives a sinful life. But I really doubt you can really accept Jesus without repentance...

So don't just look at anyone who claims to be a "Christian" and automatically believe that all Christians are supposed to be like that person.

Unfortunately, in America we are a society that puts convenience on highest priority. We even do it to a point where we're willing to shave off a few months of the definition of life so that some women can avoid pregnancy just because they feel like it.

Firstly, it's true that people will always have sex, inside or outside of marriage. But, with abortion in the picture, removing the baby from the womb eliminates the most natural consequence of having sex, especially outside of marriage. And that leaves room for? More sex! Only now instead of stopping when they get pregnant, women (or girls) will go ahead and keep having sex.

And that, of course, means more rampant spread of STDs, which means that more people might have to use their medical insurance, which means that the insurance premiums will go up. A lot.

9 What profit has the worker from that in which he labors? 10 I have seen the God-given task with which the sons of men are to be occupied. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.

Ecclesiastes 3:9-11


"Eternity in their hearts." Hmm... I don't suppose anyone here is capable of truly imagining what it would be like to absolutely not exist. We seem to think that perhaps some part of us should live on. That's what's been planted into our hearts, anyway. See what some people don't get is that that fetus may be just an extremely organized clump of tissue and developing organs, but that clump of tissue is meant to house an eternal soul, one way or another. Last time I checked, eternity lasted a lot longer than 9 months.[/i]
