Christian Faux Pas

[anewday]

Honestly, sometimes that "I will pray for you" line gets under my skin. When I say that, I truly pray for them, but sometimes I think people say that just to not want to deal with it. Which is fine, actually.
I'm glad you have your family, too!

Thank you . Yeah I assume that when people say that (and I've used that line myself) I hope they mean it . Along these lines, I've grown up, knowing and hearing about people leaving the church because of other Christians and never understood it, until now .

Ugh, yes. Or a close second; when people do pray for you about a need that they're able to fill (time, friendship, etc), but leave it at that, and not do anything more.

Someone else on CF first pointed this one out: " 'God is not the author of confusion' therefore agree with me."

"preach the gospel everyday. if necessary use words"

that's a nice little saying and it has it's merit. but the bible says faith ultimately comes by hearing and hearing by the words of Christ.

"I'm a sinner saved by grace."

This is probably the biggest one that makes me want to roll over Beethoven the most. There's not a bigger contradiction in Christendom today than this statement, IMO.

You are either a Christian or not. If you are, the Bible calls you a saint. You'll never see those two words mixed together. Ever. So stop trying to be pious or giving false humility. It's ridiculous.
