Our beliefs on Christianity are so significantly different that they do not describe the same Christian faith. There is precious little Christ in your Christianity.

That'd be funny if it weren't so sad coming from someone whose church adds popes, priests, saints, angels, Mary, sacraments, holy water, rosaries, etc to the mix.

Our focus is on Jesus and Him alone and for that we're criticized and condemned.

We say we confess to Jesus and are told that that's not good enough, we have to go through a priest.

We say we trust in Him alone for our salvation, and are told that that's not good enough, we have to trust in our own good works added to His death.

We pray right to Jesus and not to saints and angels and Mary and whoever, and we're told there's precious little Christ in our Christianity?

Christ is all and in all. In Him I live and move and have my being, and that's precious little Christ in my Christianity?

Precious little Christ is found buried under all the religious trappings of any organization which adds anything to Christ.

Who would have thought that focusing on Jesus wasn't good enough?

I guess there is another guy named Jesus somewhere, because the one we are following is the one spoken of in the Scriptures - the REAL one, the ONLY one who saves.

So WELL SAID, metmom. You certainly point out the hypocrisy in the statement There is precious little Christ in your Christianity.

It Is ALL about JESUS.
JESUS is The WORD!
