Sadly the normal Christians seems to be the majority and give the minority a bad name. For that reason I would raise the bar as what constitutes being a Christian.

It is not pride that stops me, it is critical thinking.

I sometimes get my discussions crossed. Happens when having multiple conversations sometimes. If that be the case apologize. I am still waiting for that encounter. But it will require inescapable proof of his existence.

I will let him in when he makes his existence inescapably known to me.

I am not here to stir up the pot. I am here to learn, although what I learn may not be what you are trying to teach.

First let me say thank you for the praises, and sharing a bit of your story. As far as religion, I am not in the market, but I have seen the positive side of Christianity in action enough to know that it has value to our society. Frankly I fear an America without Christianity as I believe that...

What do you do when one claims to be a Christian yet acts contrary to it’s teachings? Just allow them to run amuck and damage how the religion is perceived by nonbelievers like me? This is why judgment is so important. In the absence of judgment there is no incentive for those who behave badly...

So your answer is love god. So what is the point of the other 700,000 words in the Bible if that is all it takes someone to be a Christian?

We’ll said. I wish more Christians shared your perspective. So many seem to want to dumb down the religion to the point of ridiculousness.

Heck, that will fit on a index card. I guess the other 700,000 words in the Bible are simply redundant?

I am not arguing certainty. I do Say that just claiming that Christianity is simply being and doing is an overly simplistic view of a deep and complexity religion. Can you expound upon what it is to be and do?

If that is all it takes then why read the other 700,000 words in the Bible? I think you are over simplifying Christianity. Have you read the Bible cover to cover? If so was once sufficient and you now have it all figured out? My point being that the more one studies and contemplate what they...

I do not see judgment as being synonymous with punishment. Peer-pressure is a form of judgment which if not heeded may lead to a social punishment such as ostracization. As for examples of righteous judgment I am looking for real world examples. For example how would one righteously Judge...

I would say that wearing out Bibles shows a dedication to studying the word of god.

If being comes first and doing comes 2nd then there needs to be much more doing within the religion.

Then a lot more Christians need to be, else the religion continue to be on the decline.

Yet there are many who claim to possess the Holy Spirit yet do not act like it. This is why action should speak louder louder than words.

Being in love involves action.

And being is expressed by doing.

So much for free will then.
