hm.
sooo...i was at church last sunday and my pastor starts going off about how we christians are being too accepting when it comes to the "sin" that surrounds us.
now please do not get me wrong, i love my religion and all, but this just seems EXTREMELY hypocritical. we are all sinful right? of course we are, it's human nature, and it is going to happen no matter how much you try to prevent it. so what i am wondering is what is he really expecting us "christians" to do about the "sin" that surrounds us?
it has came to a point in this world, that you cannot just go around telling people they need to accept jesus christ or they are going to hell. yes, that may have worked a long time ago, but that is because a long time ago people were terrified because of their family's and church's constant pressure to be holy and pure. but nowadays there are WAY too many other things to be afraid of. the last thing people are worrying about is what will happen to them when they die.
i suppose what i am trying to say is that the only way "christians" are ever going to be able to help the lost, is by being accepting. we are never going to reach them any other way.
okay...sorry about that.
that is all.

This is the reason our friendship has lasted as long as it has.
You are right. It doesn't work to judge people. When I am judged by Christians and told that I am going to burn in hell for one of my many sins, it only makes it worse.
It is not the job of a Christian to judge others. Especially when they sin themselves. It becomes hypocrisy.
Acceptance and understanding are quite a bit more welcoming than hellfire and brimstone.
Oh my gosh. Finally someone who sees the hypocrisy that I have tried for years to point out to my parents. A few years ago, we attended a church where all they did was judge people. To make matters worse, it felt like the preacher was always preaching to me. He complained how the youth is getting out of hand and that they need to be brought back into the churches. Um buddy, why would anyone want to be part of something that tells you that you're pretty much going to hell along with all your friends? I agree that sometimes I cross the line, but for the most part I am a good and moral person. Does that mean I'm going to hell? Aaron Thompson thinks it does. He has told me numerous times that he wants to save me from the life I'm living. Is my life really that sinful?
Cierra you're like the purest person other than Brittany that I know. You two are about tied.
I hate religious judgment. I really do.
Kinzo, my verification is unryaln. It isn't half as cool as yours. Therefore I envy you.
Save me from the attack.
Hooray I'm pure! haha, thanks Ally! I agree with everyone here. We need to be excepting of the mulititude because last time I checked we were part of it. Sins are bad but they exsist nonetheless. It's time we stop telling everyone they're going to hell and just go along with it.
