To: Amos the Prophet

Morally superior? Christians are morally superior to non-Christians?

So, you only like Christians who do nothing in their quest for their salvation? You would prefer the Christians that ignore the bible teachings and live as the unrepentent sinners do?

Give me a break.

Apparently you have decided to hate people that are merely trying to follow Jesus’ teachings and be good christians and seeking to teach others what Jesus taught.

None of us are perfect and I expect that you had a run-in with someone trying to teach you the truth from the Bible pointing out that the denomination you were involved in, erred in their teachings.

So, you go on and try to destroy those seeking to follow Jesus and his teachings. Don’t bother with what Jesus teaches - apparently you have no need of that.

But people in this world will only be saved by accepting Christ, being baptised for the remission of their past sins and following Christ through this life.

I would sure hate to see man honor his own ego and refuse to accept Jesus because he feels those following Jesus are “morally superior”. What an asinine choice - and just where does that get you after death?

Man likes to feel he has the power of his own salvation, but man never was God, was never God’s Son and did not pay the price for our sins - Jesus did.

What a choice - eternal salvation from one that loved us so much He gave His own life and was tortured and died on the cross for us, or our own petty view of how this world works and how we get eternal life.

You are lost in the clouds of your own false assumptions. I was a member of several C of C for 5 years as a missionary. Jesus said, “Do not call me Good. None of us is good except the Father.”
Paul made very clear that none of us can claim to be superior to another, especially after salvation.
We are saved as sinners. We are not made superior moral creatures by God’s grace, only saved sinners.
Is that not good enough for you? Why do you insist that you are superior? You claim that you are made a good (better, moral, whatever) person because of salvation. This is a profoundly anti Christian and demonic belief.
If you cannot get this you will never understand my concern.
