my beliefs are broader deeper than I can communcate in a thread, ive never even commented my personal beliefs on social media before, so i dont know the fruit of my comments here, but here's my 2 cents. i think the title "christian" or "evangelical christian" gets muddied because people wear it when the really dont have faith in christ, just faith in themselves. Pretty much just posers. Jesus even said that there are many who might wear a badge or call themselves a christian, but in the end he will say to them "I never knew you, depart from me." (Matt 7:22-23) There are many examples of this. Just look up the "reawaken america" tour; clear example of those who say they are X but deny it with their actions. Trump is an example too; he says he is a christian but also says he is not a sinner. But hear this from the Bible. "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us." (1 John 1:8-10)
The problem is that we are sinful, and are guilty, but to me there is hope because Jesus took the wrath we deserve for our sin on the cross, and rose again, so that any who confess their sin and cry out for mercy may stand as righteous before God. Some people hate that idea, and I get it, but others find it as the best news, and want to share it with others because there is hope and redemption. I am weak, and thats exacly why I need my church community and the bible.
Downvote all you want, i dig the sillyness. sorry for all the "church hurt" youv'e recieved, some are posers who dont actually submit to jesus as lord, but even good people can be hurtful, ive expereinced my fair share of that.
Jesus definetly would have repped saga and been pressed at TGRevenueSearch and Unofficial Networks: pretty much the greedy, pharasee elites of the ski world lol.
