Same ol religious hatred by people of no faith. Careful non-believers, in a previous life, secularists who had the capacity, started packing up those of faith onto train cars and sending them off to gas chambers...
Because it's worth quoting.

Now I know why some conservatives want to cut education funding.

This is the original post topic.

Point was to share some things to help further that already existing relationship for those that have it. Not meant to start a debate.

Please note that I posted this in the "Politics and Religion" topic, so please no hateful or anti religion remarks or flame-wars.

This post is for my fellow Christians, but I welcome all who are not, but do have a genuine interest in Jesus Christ and his teachings.

I spent many years being a lukewarm Christian after I first accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior, and in the last year or so I have devoted myself to him and my life has changed for the better in ways I never imagined possible. and today in my studies I came across some informative websites that touched on some issues that have bothered me for some time now.

Here is the info from those websites.

Are You A Lukewarm Christian?

Bible Verses about lukewarm Christians:

Another thing that seems to be left out these days is the teaching of what repentance is. Is asking for forgiveness without repenting really meaningful? To truly mean it is to repent from that sin, to repent is to turn away from it, not because of the consequences but because of a genuine disdain for sin. To repent and then turn back to the same sin again is like a dog eating its own vomit just to become sick all over again...

I was to understand the entire point of Christian Apologetics was there is no way for a human being to NOT be "lukewarm", by this standard, but Jesus died to make all that okay and all that was really needed for a Christian to be good in the eyes of God was to repent and try to do better, y/n?

Christian Apologetics: Checking Your Privilege Since 325 AD
Yes all that is required it to repent and accept Jesus Christ as your only savior and Lord. This post was more to help further that relationship with god and to live our full potential as we try our best to walk in his foot steps, yes it is impossible to reach perfection but that is part of the test to, in life we learn how much we need his guidance and how short we fall compared to him, but we must all try our best no matter how many times we inevitably fail and in all this is learn things like humility and compassion and the realization that no one is in any position to pass judgement and look down onto any other person

This, I'm ok with. I don't necessarily feel enmity is being directed toward me. The term "ignorance" is even coined in the conceptual insinuation of what "life would be like if we used religion as an excuse" but it was stated matter-of-factly instead of "in your face and aggressive".

It may mean nothing to the debate at hand, or the other posters, but i appreciate your etiquette.

It is a losing battle. I give you credit for trying to keep things on topic, but it was bound to fail.

The latter seems more entertaining. As to the OP, I hope you learned something about how quickly topics like these get derailed.

No. No, with a side of no, and supersize the no. Don't forget no, as well as no, along with no, besides no. Also, no.

It's admirable that you're trying to keep this a civilized discussion about the topic you wanted to talk about, but the trouble is, sometimes trains sprout legs and don't want to stay on their tracks.
