[Because theology does not make Christ come near.]
Well, I will back off of that. A little. Just enough to allow that one must be willing to allow that God exists and that He rewards those who seek Him. That’s the only view one needs into God to receive the promise. Believe He has extended it, and accept it. Everything else truly is gravy. Talking about quote-Christian-unquote is, to me, an exercise in vanity and guaranteed to stir up denominational and inter-school fights that get the devil happy and God sad. Talk about weak and strong Christians if you must, but never about quote-Christians-unquote. Because if we do, we may find ourselves on the wrong end of that scare someday. (As you judge, you shall be judged.)
I meant no disrespect with my use of scare quotes.
It was simply my intention to emphasize the term in my sentence. I could have bolded or capped it, boxed it in parentheses or put commas around it.
It seems though all of those choices would have resulted in the same.
I write how I speak and without body language, volume or enunciation expressions and meaning can be lost.
