Actually if you look at half the Christians I've ever seen he's more like a get out of jail free card. Most of them live these nice little lives in public,with all their prejudice and dark secrets hidden behind their crooked little smiles,then they just ask Jesus for forgiveness and as far as their concerned it's all good.

No you are still required to give 100% of the effort. You are simply forgiven for 100% more than before.

He changes your heart so you put forth the effort
Its free, but there is necessary fruit
If the doctor sees no evidence of salvation or appetite for God... maybe the patient is dead?

Blasphemy. You may believe this is some sort of sick joke or twisted humor when you make fun of God and his faith but mark my words...you will be sorry. You should fall to your knees and ask God to forgive you...he is great and forgiiving he will forgive even you! He is a God of love and forgives anyone who asks with their mouth and their soul. Follow God and you will never be sorry. Turn your bitterness into peace. Turn your hate into love. Turn your sarcasm into joining others in warmth & kindness. You may be fooling some people and maybe even you are fooling yourself but you are not fooling me one bit. You are using humor, sarcasm, and attacks on Christ, God and Christians...because you hurt inside, you have pain, you feel empty and betrayed. You want to maintain your ego so you act tough and rough on the outside but inside you have a bleeding heart. Take this to God in prayer. I love you as a brother in Christ. I forgive you for attacking my Lord, but he must forgive you too. I know you do not want to feel this way. I realize you are crying out for help.You really want love and acceptance. YOu would love to have the peace that you see Christians have. You do not know how to feel better so you project your inner feelings on to others. You need to say the sinners prayer. There is no special words. Talk sincere from your heart & soul. Confess your sins. Tell God your way is not working and you want him to lead your life. Tell him you desire peace, love forgiveness. Tell him that you are hurt and carry pain from your childhood because you have never resolved your pain and you have come to blame Christ and blame Christians. Christ loves you and Christians are your Brothers and sisters in love. You may have a fear to be happy. You are so afraid of beleiving in God and trusting Christians...because people have disappointed you. People have abused you. People have built mistrust in you. Well, Dear, not everyone will hurt you. Christians want to love you. God will never cause you harm. Satan has sent those people in your life that have hurt you...they were not God followers. The pain you have suffered has not come from Christ, God or Christians. You have a right to hate...hate evil not God. You have a right to be mistrusting...mistrust the antichrist not God. You have a right to hurt take it to God and he will heal you. I am not giving up on you. I see through your calussed exterior and I see a warm, scared, person inside who wants to be loved. I love you brother. God is only a prayer away.
