The fear of God is the beginning of knowledge.
Perfect love casts out fear.
What? Enough said.
Hypocrites.
Fear God but his perfect love will cast out the fear and then fear him again because his perfect love will cast out the fear. But you better fear him because his perfect love will cast out the fear. Then once you have cast out his fear once again, you should fear him again then his perfect love will cast out the fear again...
Hypocrites. Book of God. It is a fable.

When you have a relationship with Jesus, You would know what That means. No body is perfect, only Jesus. As Christians, we must strive to live a holy life.

Why must I live a holy life? Because some God says I should? And what do the holy do best--they preach hell and damnation for those who won't listen. They say all sinners go to hell. Forgiveness of sins is a lie. They say if we don't shape up then we will not be able live with them in heaven. I would rather burn in hell than put their filthy holy spirit inside of me. Get it out, it makes me vomit. I vomit on the holy man. I vomit on the bread and I vomit on the wine.
Holiness is disgusting. Stop trying to force your virgin spirit on me.
I do have a relationship with Jesus. I will forever hate him, his father and his sacred dove.
I would rather be a fallen angel and live without His grace.

Ahh starting to understand your look on Lust, you do hate god or atleast biblical description of him.

Ok reason to fear god is not to love him in fear, but he is supreme being that made everything. Not only can he destroy your body also the soul as well.

When I started my search in god, I went with wisdom my favorite talkshow host shared. For there be a god, rather him have heavy hearted questioning rather than blindfolded fear. Rather ask all the questions that where doubts in my heart and really seek the answers instead of believing to be part of the crowd or fit in. Either it will fortify your belief or you wont believe, that's all free will there.

Church is there for believers, doors are open to people seeking understanding or answers. Your soul gives you a choice, either believe or you don't. To call yourself christian then spout how the whole system is hypocracy is being a hypocrate.

Be honous with your heart and find out why you feel the way you do. Church is not perfect, I have friends who experienced church abuse but I am helping them bring them back. Could be something more deeper, who knows.

lol

Church abuse is where teachers take advantage of their responcibilities and either form power, misteach, or become too religous to point becomes fanatical.

Timothy 1, Timothy 2, and Titus go into detail of how to form, run and maintain a good church. There is no such thing as perfection, so there are churches that need to be corrected.

Bud, this is true in ALL things. Does that means the all churches inhereitly evil, no just the hearts of a few who abuse their responcibilities.

If you accually read the bible, it's own text should be your guide to knowing who speaks the truth and who is BSing you. I love going to church and learning more about bible I already read, another person sharing their passion in God with others. Still I make sure what they are saying matches up what I know and read.

If you been a victim of it, bud have hope that find a good church to help build a stronger relationship with God. From what I read might need some soul searching to do. I will pray you find your way back.
