To answer you there is a lot of mind poisoning and brianwashing not forgetting money pumped into the whole thing. l know someone is going to complain about this they can never face the truth.

As for the way christians could desire to entice human beings to the faith they first could comprehend what motives the backlash opposed to christianity? all the different religions and atheists stay in peace and are purely attacked via undesirable christians which motives all good christians to melancholy on the wear and tear they do! Up till approximately forty years decrease back Christianity replaced into thriving and there replaced into no conflict with others yet in merely those few short years the fashionable christians have become illiberal, hate crammed, bigoted and persecuting ensuing in a transforming into backlash opposed to christianity and inflicting christianity to loose over ten % in under a decade with the loss accelerating!

people have an evolutionary urge to follow a religions -- during the formation of society (and still now) religion was a social cohesive that increased the survival rate of those who "fell into the fold" so to speak.
But just because you submit to an instinctual drive does not mean that you must follow the minor specifics that fall within its "jurisdiction"

Because the tenets are way too many for anybody to follow.
As for the Bible, it dictates so much nonsense that it would be impossible to follow all of it.

Quite right. Many Christians are nominal and do not have the indwelling Holy Spirit as required to be a Christian: ' ... And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.' (Romans 8:9). Without him you have little chance of obeying the commandments.

You;re absolutely correct. We all fall short of what God wants of us. We are not perfect, merely forgiven. If He demanded perfection of me I'd be in big trouble. If you meet a Christian who says he follows all the tenants of his religion, he's blowing smoke at you. It doesn't happen.

Because Jesus says the Bible is about God, not mankind and our ways to live. Believing is not the same as living for I believe Jesus healed the sick but I don't need to in order to believe that.
