LordShadowfire I never said you hate Christians, nor implied it. However, I've seen many on here, who do.
Not all churches are bad. Just as not all people are bad. There are failures in every area and walk of life. The good and the bad. I don't know who's bible you're talking about, but my bible doesn't instruct me to kill and hate people. I don't know one that does. And what about you? What are your faults, before you pick at mine? Do you read the bible and know what it says? Should I fault you if you don't? Pick apart or assume your fallacies? No.
In the century where so-called witches were burned, it literally makes me sick. Those were entirely different times, full of superstition and not all who judged them were Christians. We can't say nor prove that. Those poor souls had no chance at all.
This old accusation and assuming I'm trying to convert you, is really distressing and just plain old. Such nonsense, so ridiculous. Are you so helpless that you can't make your own decisions? You can be forced? Good grief. Show me once, where I asked you to believe what I do, or join in.
Arguing over religion is never right. It only does more harm, not good. It was prophesied that some churches would fall, because their hearts were not right to begin with. Just like everything else in this world...phonies in all walks of life, not just in the religious beliefs in this world. But not just one certain church will make it to heaven. There are many true believers all over the world, who shall be saved. Only God knows their heart. We cannot judge anyone. And yes....Jesus told all of us to practice what we preach. Live it. God goes by individual hearts. Not individual religions. That makes it a personal relationship and commitment. A way of life, not a part-time commitment. There's no such thing where true love abides.
