Popular Post ♦ Fuego ♦ Posted December 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2019 A believer posted a blurb about Tebow calling on Christians to stand for Christian values in America. My inner preacher got pissed and wrote this: The problem is that Christians don't seem to agree on what "Christian values" are. Some ardently support the refugee camps (some run by the Baptist church), some are aghast at them seeing them as concentration camps. Some see Trump as a chosen servant of God protecting religious rights, some see him as a babbling immoral reprehensible crotch-grabbing pawn of Russia useful only to the ultra-rich. Some see giant mega-churches as evidence of God's favor, some see them as a mockery of all that the Son of Man who had no place to lay his head preached. Some see monuments to the 10 Commandments as a witness of God's truth, some wonder why we don't see believers embodying the Sermon on the Mount as living monuments instead. Some are adamantly fighting abortion while at the same time adamantly for cutting aid to poor families, seeing them as leaches on society and encouraging "socialism". Others see that as hypocrisy since pro-life is ageless, and the poor are Jesus in disguise. Why look to celebrities when the words and example of Jesus are ignored in favor of comfort and wealth? Believers already know what to do and how to do it, they just don't want to. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wertbag Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Christians can't even agree on how many books they have in their divinely inspired writings or how those writings should be interpreted. Moral stories, history, prophecy or heretical writings all mixed together. I think Christianity would be really strong if they had one message that they all agreed on. One worldwide church with unity of purpose would be immensely powerful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Moderator florduh Posted December 31, 2019 Super Moderator Share Posted December 31, 2019 We really need to define what Christians we are talking about anymore. Is it the God Hates Fags variety, the Catholic Pedophile Cult, the Evangelical Trumpublican, the Methodist Milquetoast, the Amish Nutbags, the Prosperity Pimps, and so forth. When someone today identifies as Christian it tells me almost nothing about them. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tells us little about them. Except, that they are dislussional. Very very dislussional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
