You preach your opinion, not sound gospel. And you know what is said about opinions? They're not worth a hill of beans!!! Why would there be any more truth to your opinions over the opinions of an atheist?

The word of God is THE WORD OF GOD. Calling the word of God the word of man is like calling Jesus a liar. You're a false teacher. You can't say that Jesus is your teacher and then contradict yourself by saying that some of the bible is BS. You obviously don't believe that Jesus is THE WORD OF GOD.

Please tell me about the BS in the bible?

We don't live under the law anymore. The law pointed us to Christ. Christ fulfilled the law and took it away from us. We are no longer under the yoke. The law convicted all of sin. The law was to show that righteousness would not come by good works, but rather by faith in God.

A quick lesson on what was brought up about adultery. Jesus was teaching that to enter the kingdom of God, our righteousness would have to exceed that of the law. Meaning that if a man actually kept the entire law (which no man did, except for Jesus cause he is God himself), it would still not make us right. Jesus is well aware of the lust in your heart. He was pointing out how sinful we are, but somehow all I hear from people these days is how great they are. The thoughts of our heart are evil continually. Anyone who claims to be righteous is a plain out liar. You can easily see this in a child. You don't have to teach a child to do "bad". This comes natural. You have to teach a child to do good.

According to the scriptures, there's nothing more evil than to reject and deny our LORD. We will all be judged according to his rigteousness. Our words will either justify us or condemn us. The choice is all yours. I thank God for opening up my heart to trust in him. imp:
First, I'm not a teacher; Jesus was a teacher. There's too much in life to grab hold of and enjoy then to go around preaching all the time, man. You gotta learn to live a little, and enjoy what you've been given, cause what you have can be taken in less time than it took me to write this. Think about it.

Jesus taught Love, pure and simple, and that is what I hold on too. I'm certainly NOT a saint, PTS, nor do I want to be. God made me a flawful man and that is what I'll always be. I embrace my flaws just as much as I embrace the good in me. I can learn from just about anything, which is the entire point of sin, imo. Sin is an archers term for "missing the mark".

I've heard some say that "Jesus as God is Love" but I don't know that Jesus was God anymore than you or me. You can worship the man if you want to, you can worship a book if you want to, but I'll stick with the creator, what he created and the Spirit of Love he has for what he made. This would include you PTS...and me and everyone else in this world, no matter what religion they cling to.

These are my views, and it's fine that you disagree. Your judgement of me will come back on you, though.

Call it karma...

Yup, Jesus taught us about karma, too! It's just a natural order of how things happen, man. (The law of harvest, bro) I'm gonna plant some good stuff, myself...like Love, life, nonjudgement of others, tolerance, and peace...

Feel free to keep your nose stuck in that book of yours, but I don't think I need it anymore. I'd much rather honor 'God' by enjoying my life, sticking with Love, and appreciating what he [the creator] gave me, man.

Don't be hatin on me yet, PTS...I've been quite tolerant of your views, but YOU have resorted to name calling. I can't say I appreciate it too awful much either.


Still Love ya, though...
JunkYard Reviewed by JunkYard on . Hardest "Christian" thing to do? What is the number one teaching of Christianity that is the hardest for youto follow? I believe heavily in the teachings of Christ, but like every other human being in the world I "walk the line" like a drunk with a blindfold on. Atheists and agnostics please post your opinions, too; what do you think is the most demanding and spritually testing? Do you think the world would be a better place if more people followed it, or about the same? For me, personally: Love thy enemy. Rating: 5
