Commentary: What would Jesus really do?

When did it come to the point that being a Christian meant caring about only two issues, abortion and homosexuality?

Ask the nonreligious what being a Christian today means, and based on what we see and read, it's a good bet they will say that followers of Jesus Christ are preoccupied with those two points.

Poverty? Whatever. Homelessness? An afterthought. A widening gap between the have and have-nots? Immaterial. Divorce? The divorce rate of Christians mirrors the national average, so that's no big deal.

The point is that being a Christian should be about more than abortion and homosexuality, and it's high time that those not considered a part of the religious right expose the hypocrisy of our brothers and sisters in Christianity and take back the faith. And those on the left who believe they have a "get out of sin free" card must not be allowed to justify their actions.

Many people believe we are engaged in a holy war. And we are. But it's not with Muslims. The real war -- the silent war -- is being engaged among Christians, and that's what we must set our sights on.

HENCEFORTH THE MONIKER “CAFETARIA CHRISTIAN”!

PICK OUT WHAT EVER FLAVOR OF DOCTRINE PLEASES THIER TASTE.

I HAVE HAD SO-CALLED BELIEVERS SAY MY PEACHING IS HERESY,WHEN I GO RIGHT TO SCRIPTURE,THE RESPONSE OFTEN IS THEY DON’T BELIEVE PARTS OF THE BIBLE.

martin: “So, we decided to put the tough questions to those who claim to speak his truths, Rick Warren, T.D. Jakes, Paula White, Jerry Falwell, and others.”

HA! Jakes and White wouldn’t know the Truth if He bit their noses off! Falwell and Warren are false in many ways. Jakes and White are on another scale in apostasy and presentation.

I shudder to think that millions get their spiritual guidance from this crowd.

2 Tim 3
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

Beautiful post, dearest sister in Christ!

IMHO, this is yet another example of people anthropomorphizing God.

And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. - John 8:23
