Hmm are you sure it wasn't a misunderstanding?
Though I admit many if not most professed Christians are not
true Christians.
Donning the priest robe or going to churches doesn't make you a
Christians. It's all in the heart(genuine faith). And only God,
satan and men whom God and satan(and some say dead people spirit
LOL) share that really could see into the hearts of people.
I agree with you regarding its all in the heart. Its all about
sincerity too. We are not trying to degrade anybody here. But as i
see nowadays, people are far more excited to go to church then
anything else. And when they go to church, its not really learning
more about the bible or religion although people claim that they
love god and so on. They just want to hang around with their
friends, chill out like normal sundays and so on. How do we really
know if these people are really into religion? If we want to find
out, we must get the church out of the picture. If these people are
able to practice their love for god religiously WITHOUT going to
church, then i guess they made it. Same goes for temples. Devotees
only feel the prescene of their god/deities when they visit temple,
which should not be the way. It should be in the heart, an internal
thing rather than an external thing, you get what i mean?
I consider true christians to live humble lives, have a gentle
and compassionate nature and a forgiving attitude towards others.
They can live without churches. And thats what i admire them most
