Easter and Christmas Christians?



Christmas and Easter, Easter and Christmas, whatever. I went with Easter and Christmas since Easter comes earlier in the year.


...okay , was it really that hard to actually type it out ? :bonk:

On topic...like just about everyone else on this forum you continue to employ a corrupt understanding of what it means to be Christian...in fact the standards used by those same " everyone's " is more applicable to Judaism than it ever will be to Christianity .

Even though I doubt this threads having any impact on bringing people to Christ I'm glad frodo is still putting in the effort and doing what's asked of every Christian.
Who knows maybe a seed will sprout as a result of this thread. 👍

It's much more likely to turn people away. Just like brother Jed who comes to my campus every semester and yells at girls saying they're harlots for wearing shorts.

Possibly.

Unlike brother Jed though he isn't being judgy or condemning others. He is simply announcing the gospel( good news). Every person that's offended or bothered by this thread has already a negative predisposition to Christianity. This thread surfaces like once a week and if people are really that bothered they don't have to click and read, just move on it's that simple.

Heaven is the creation of the human brain.

Why would you believe in it?

It's spam. Whens the last time you clicked on a flashing ad that said free car?

The point is not their church attendance. The point is that many people do not actively pursue faith or a relationship with God on a regular basis, yet still identify as Christian because of cultural values or because it's "how they were raised" without actually dedicating the time to foster a relationship in Christ. I've spoken with multiple pastors who bring this up as a concern for the faith going forward.

Of course it is impossible to know the hearts and minds of the public, since I'm not a triple-O being, but from those whom I have spoken with, that seems to be the consensus about many who identify as Christian when we're talking about large-scale polling of the American population. There is, of course, a healthy population that also very much lives a life that is guided by their faith every day, and I'm not trying to diminish those people or deny that they exist. But a very large chunk of Americans who do call themselves Christians are really Christians in name only.

It's been a while since i clicked one of those. Spam or not the irony is the people that are constantly annoyed or bothered are the same ones keeping this thread up top on the first page. Most of the comments are either bashing frodo or Christianity or other snide remarks.

If it slips down he makes another. It's really not ironic since the result is the same.
