re tuff to be a christian in article apr geneva rutgers edu mdbs ms uky edu no name writes bissda saturn wwc edu dan lawrence bissell writes i don t think most people understand what a christian is it is certainly not what i see a lot in churches rather i think it should be a way of life and a total sacrafice of everything for god s sake he loved us enough to die and save us so we should do the typical statement from an irrational and brainwashed person the bible was written by some male chavnist thousands of years ago as were all of the holy books follow the parts that you think are suitable for modern life ignore the others for heaven s sake don t take it literally please leave heaven out of it for his own sake i pray that dan does take it literally because that s how god intended it to be taken dan your view of many groups appears correct from my point of view however i have found a group which is truly meeting requirements laid down by the bible on what it means to be a disciple of jesus i have no clue where wwc is but please mail me i d really like to get you in touch with them same hey we can t do it god himself inspires us to turn our lives over to him that s tuff and most people don t want to do it to be a real christian would be something for the strong to persevere at but insert deletion of ranting about other religions which obviously has gone off center of dan s original context dan i m familiar with this one you ve got a point though there are some who don t want to turn over everything and be a disciple some have no clue about it because they ve not been taught some have done exactly that and turned over everything to follow jesus some are blocked by difficult doctrine taught by uncaring pharisees and teachers of the law however jesus pointed out what it takes to follow him and to be his disciple in luke and luke my question is why do people ignore the command and treat it as optional i certainly don t have an answer to this insert deletion parting question would you have become a christian if you had not been indoctrinated by your parents you probably never learned about any other religion to make a comparative study and therefore i claim you are brain washed my parents had nothing to do with it god had and has everything to do with it as for these attacking responses i must say that i disagree with your tone and what appears to be some very judgmental statements possibly to the point of slander when talking about people not what they do please if you have a response state it instead of flying off the handle on some discourse which may have nothing truly to do with what is being discussed i m sure both dan and i would have a much happier time with your responses joe
