He left us the example and we should follow it. A TRUE Christian will follow everything he did. His priority when here on Earth was to spread the word about the Kingdom.

Yes, they need to read 10th Chapter of Matthew!
7 As you go, preach this message: 'The kingdom of heaven is near.'
11"Whatever town or village you enter, search for some worthy person there and stay at his house until you leave.
12 As you enter the home, give it your greeting.
13 If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you.
14 If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.

It appears that Mormons and JWs are doing that well, yet other Christians don't like them, go figure. But I don't understand why your god needs people to go around preaching. Can't he just drop flyers from the sky or something? I mean if he did that I'd seriously consider that religion. As it is the other religions are just as valid. And why do Christians stop at preaching? If they want to follow Jesus they should not have any possessions etc., haven't they read the book James? Oh yeah they don't like that book very much. Did you know that James and Paul were enemies because they both had contradicting gospels? You know what Paul meant by "another gospel"?

That's a bit of a generalisation, but i do have to agree. It frustrates me when people claim to follow a religion but they don't actually practice what they preach. What makes it worse is when they start to preach and find themselves in a situation where they don't know the answer to a question so they go about making it up rather than simply going away, finding an answer and then getting back to the person with a clarified answer.
Definately not saying i'm perfect. I'm as hypocryitical as the rest.

People learn over time.
At the moment that one may realize there is an afterworld and a Heaven to reach for, does not mean they have refined thier personality enough to reach it.
Which is why earth is considered a huge class of lessons to refine uor character and purify our souls. Afterwhich, we will see to what level we had reached once we pass over.
But keep in mind, it is much higher than you could think,. Pure really means pure. Totally pure.

Sis. People don't want to hear truth. Pastors that know it are terrified to teach it because of those who are hard core in their denominational dogma. they WILL lose members, and the numbers game is a big deal right now.
There are many on here I would love to meet and worship with. Real men and women of God who say it like it is.
We will only stand before God for what we were called to do. Don't sweat another persons responsibility. Focus on you and your calling. I understand your passion, but this thinking will bring you down.
Blessings

Too many focus on the punishments than the rewards, and I've never understood that. I've always thought you could draw more flies with honey than vinegar, but that's just me. I, myself, am a Christian out of hope, not fear.

men are human prone to mistakes. Jesus knew this and died for our sins. This helped us be able to repent and ask for forgiveness.
