...Yeah, thanks for the sermon telling people who are not christian they are idiotic blasphemers. 'Oh my God' and 'Jesus' are pretty much subconsciously imprinted into our brains because everyone else does it and it influences us, even if we aren't christian. Same way we say 'bless you'. I can no more stop saying God's name than I could control the rate my fingernails grow...

Now please stop preaching with a holier than thou attitude.

'I am enlightened, too bad you aren't, maybe you will be one day, when God chooses, but until then, looks like I'm in the clear.'

Blah.

I believe in God and my Mums Church which is an Evangelist Church is the only one I'd go to. It follows the teachings of the Bible, not the corrupt teachings of ministeries and Archbishops who know nothing about The Lord. I didn't used to believe in God but since my Mum has turned to him she has been beating her Bi Polar illness which was previously destroying her life. I believe God has helped her through that and has answered my prayers many times and looked over people I've prayed for.

Ahahaahaha at the legos. That ruined it.

This is what I dont understand about most christians. They say all this stuff, but they dont even follow the philosophies of the man they worship.

Jesus said not to concern yourself with worldly things. If people make fun of you, you shouldnt care. You shouldnt care about what people think or what you are going to wear or your job or anything. Absolutely nothing in this world matters besides God. That is what we are told.

So what if I prayed for God to give me wisdom so I could ace my college entry exam? It's important to me, but do you think God really cares whats important to me? Like you said, we are his children. Often children are too young and naive to understand whats best for them. So why would he help me with it? If I do get into college, it means I am trying to get a decent paying job. If im trying to get a decent paying job it means I am concerned with money. The bible says money and posessions are nothing, and you shouldnt concern yourself with them.

Jesus says look at the birds in the sky. They dont have money, yet God feeds them. They dont have belongings, but God looks after them. In the same way you should not fret about worldly things, because are you not more important to God than a bird?

So many people have this wierd view of christianity. Where its OK to sin, its OK to do all this shit, christianity is just considered a little side thing in your life. Theres friends, social life, parties, school, work, house, home loans, and then religion is just a little side thing that you believe in and occasionally go to church on sundays so you dont feel guilty for all the sins youve been doing.

The meaning of the word sorry is that you truly regret what you've done, and realize that. It means you are going to do your best never to do it again. When you ask God for forgiveness, you have to be sorry and truly repent. Then you have to try and change your ways, and stop sinning. Thats wat Jesus taught. He taught people to be kind, to follow the commandments, he taught people to be good people. He was such a good man that he even said he will forgive you if you repent.

Why dont christians see that? I actually think its disgusting what christianity has become. People dont actually read and understand the bible, they just take peoples word for it. If you sin, it doesnt matter because God will forgive you anyway. You can sin all you want, as long as you say "oh yeah god forgive me kthnxbye im going to go sin again now."

I dont mean to disrespect anyone, especially you, vonny. This is just my opinion. Take it into consideration, but dont take it to heart.

What do you mean there is no grey area in religion?

Religion is the grey area of life. At least voice your opinion and reply to my post.

There is plenty of education involved...such as, being educated in the matters of the Bible...being educated on what it means to be a true christian...being educated on past matters so you realize what you're seeing is not the complete truth...there is plenty of grey and education to the matter of religion.
