Thanks for the respect Cemetary S. and Psycho, forgive me for not capitalizing your name. I have heard you say that before and should have remembered.
Yes, there are alot of hipocrites that call thereselves godly, but aren't we all a little if not alot hipocritical at times. A true Christian never clames to be perfect or sinless, just forgiven as God is willing to forgive all. We all sin. We all deserve hell, but we all have be given a choice, a way of escape. It is not in religion. God never said that he was or is impressed by holier than thou bible thumpers. I know my Bible well, not as well as I should because you could read it every year all the way through and not even begin to see the wonder of God.
Religion was made not by God, but by man. Man made religion to please God. God is not impressed by this. He even said in the Bible that the people honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. He also said that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, thou shalt be saved. That is what God requires of us. Not to be perfect, for we shall never attain that, we are not God, but that we would put our Faith in the perfect man who sacrificed himself to die for our sin, the man Christ Jesus.
I am what is called a fundamentalist. This simply means that I stick to the fundamentals and the truth that is in God's Word.
Fundamentalists (do not) make things up, think we are better than anyone, judge people in ways only God can, and choose to hate. I may hate your sin, just as I hate mine, but I love everyone with agape love, which means a Christlike love.
In the world today, maybe 10% percent of everyone who claims to be a Christian are actually Christians. There is a whole new world that people have no conception of, which is found in the clear and freeing truth of what God wants us to know, and not what people who call themselves holy, try to tell us. You can only imagine. I have already given one member of this site, new light. Perhaps he can testify of the awesome power in the truth.
