Do you ever wonder if you are a good enough christian [Spirituality & Religion]

I sometimes think about whether I am a failure as a christian because of my flaws. I know that I am wholly redeemed by Christ's dying for my sins. But am I actually a good influence towards others leading them towards wanting Christ in their lives.

I am a horrible christian. I believe in God and Jesus and I think they are cruel to send their creation to eternal torture because of rules made up by God that we have to follow and then give us free will after all that.

@SW-User imagine if there were no rules in your country and everyone who committed criminal activities didn't go to jail. Would you still want to live there?

@karysma imagine living in a country where theft, jaywalking, and murder all got you an eternity of torture. Would you wanna live there?

@Doomflower of course not but what's the point of this question

@karysma what doomflower is getting at is the same things she listed could land you in hell anyway

@Doomflower [b][c=#7700B2]Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
John 14:6[/c][/b]

You wouldn't be worried about going to hell if you believe Christ is the key to heaven

@karysma yet god doesnt know how to forgive people without having to kill his own son?

karysma · 31-35, F

@Mistakesmakeus that is the principle of sacrifice dear

Mistakesmakeus · M

@karysma that's a stupid point because you can commit the same sins before hand but now god can forgive you because he killed his son to forgive us

karysma · 31-35, F

@Mistakesmakeus that is how powerful the blood of Jesus is. That same here blood will get us into heaven

@SW-User you apparently didn't read the Bible well if at all

Those laws were given and in no way impossible to follow, the evil ones who choose to reject Jesus fully deserve what they get, not that I'm glad for it as some that I love do not believe or do not follow Jesus

He is fully righteous in sending wicked ones to burn, he is creator of the universe and those that do not obey him are like weeds in a garden
