Priestley ryuu_chan You know, when Jesus was here, he was all positive messages. Love thy neighbor, go and do good and such. Does anyone else notice how much this whole message has been warped into an entire religion of negativity and sometimes outright cruelty? It's all about pointing out sin and guilting people into behaving, threatening them with fire and brimstone. We need to go back to 'you know you've done wrong, go and sin no more.' Mm. It's necessary to point out sin in the church and a right time to do so. There's a moderate level somewhere between casting your pearls before swine and correcting, rebuking, encouraging.
Also, it's not good to misrepresent Jesus like that. He wasn't just some peace-and-love hippy. wink
Godo reply Priestley. I don't mean to insult you ryuu chan but your post is alittle contridictory. "It's all about pointing out sin and guilting people into behaving" and then after that you say we need to go back, etc,. But the problem is not just with Christians sometimes. If you tell people what they do wrong, even if it's not in a condeming way and they get offended. I've had this happen to me before and it's very frustrating. I think people just don't like to be told they are wrong when they clearly are (even when they ask for my input).
