They love to stand up and claim they are Christians, but when it comes down to the personal examination... they will do anything to back out of their commitment to obey God and His precepts.

BTW, I am not talking about ocaisionally sinning... I am talking about not even bothering to follow what is written in the Bible as far as Salvation goes.

it's church-made-easy, the prospect of not having to do anything but believe for Jesus to save you, and being instantly forgiven of anything that you do just because you're a lip-service christian

It's the human nature thing. We're all basically selfish in nature and the concept of reaching out to others apart from our own agendas can be quite mind boggling. It usually takes our own personal life crisis or a series of crises to wake us up as to what it's like to suffer and be in need. A lot of Christians are pew warmers and like their safe life in their comfort zones. In the long run they miss out on the rewards they receive when they genuinely obey God from their hearts and not through any legalistic motives.

we are made in reminiscent of God and the Angels, together with our skill to love. God very frequently in Scripture utilising the analogy of the nuclear kin as a fashion of coaching. only as a human father may disipline and instruct his little ones, so is an similar with God. this is a coaching technique. If someone tells you no longer to attempt to comprehend God because the theory is too enormous for you mind, then you truly are talking to a biblically illiterate fool. perhaps you should carry your opinion for once you communicate to someone who's knowledgeable of Gods note, Gods mandates and Gods worry-free experience coaching. right it truly is a idea for you: there is the very similar quantity of information that no God exists as there is that God does exist, so I recommend very strongly that you be a minimum of 50% respectful and a minimum of 50% open-minded. Why? because you've for sure no longer tried to have a courting with God, nor do you've any theory of the Scriptures that God despatched so that you does no longer be at a loss for words like you're. the teachings are sparkling and finished of information and worry-free experience. you pick to take heed to someone no count how unlearned they'd be, who may attempt to respond to your questions the perfect they comprehend how, yet you're taking in spite of they say and keeping it hostile to one hundred million human beings. somewhat of doing that, why no longer study some thing your self somewhat of mocking some thing you do not comprehend? celebration: I nevertheless see church homes coaching that you'll finally end up in a burning pit called hell and there continually and ever your flesh will burn and also you'll scream in anguish. Ever hear that? nicely, this can come from someone who does no longer comprehend Greek Idioms so commonplace in Scripture. those who imagine they're headed for hell, are in accordance to the manuscripts, headed for a lecture room - they'll study, no longer BURNED. And certain, as a figure if my newborn does incorrect, I reply through coaching the newborn, no longer through causing my newborn terrible soreness. in case you pick to sentence your own author, thats your organisation organisation, yet its in common words smart to comprehend why you're condemning Him and your self once you're doing it because some fool pronounced some thing stupid. If I say some thing stupid about eating nutrition, will you end eating? If I say some thing stupid about operating or utilising a automobile, will you end utilising and end your activity? Then why may you react this kind because some fool pronounced some thing stupid about our Lord? No offense, yet that seems kinda immature.

EVERYBODY sins. There was only one person who never sinned. And they crucified Him.. A Christian may not want to sin, they may not set out to sin, but since this is a sinful world, they do. To sin is to be human. Do you make mistakes? Christians are sorry for their sins and repent of them. Christians ask for forgiveness, thank Christ for delivering us from our sins and offering us eternal life. It's up to us to accept it and live accordingly.

You cannot generalize all Christians. Only the born again Christians should be considered real believers.

Because the devil attacks only those who are a threat to him and his kingdom. The devil attacks believers with temptations and the things we used to do. Living for God is not easy, but it is not impossible. Yet at the same time, the devil does not have to attack people who he knows are headed down to the road of destruction and are not a threat to him.

They're all just showing off, and probably have never read the Bible themselves. It's best not to concern yourself with them, only examine your own life and your own actions and keep your religion in your heart, not in your mouth.

Because they want to be "saved," but don't want to do what it takes to get there. It's really just fear. They think if they take the name, they're covered.
