| Worldly Christians. | |

| They are not interested in being faithful to Jesus' teachings. | |
| They don't even know what Jesus teaches. | |
| They like to pretend they are true and saved Christians. | |
| They like their elitism doctrines to differentiate others who | |
| don't agree with them, and argue about it. | |
| Their behavior is the same as the world even though Jesus says | |
| they are salt and light of the world. | |
| Above all, they spread hate spirit to the world by approving to | |
| join the military and practice being the police of the world | |
| even though Jesus says to love your enemy. | |

| There are too many ugly truth that most churches don't like to | |
| address, and doing their best to hide under the rugs. | |

| [quote]Meshak: They are not interested in being faithful to | |
| Jesus' teachings.[/quote] | |
| [font=courier]The difficulty for a person, who does not know all | |
| of Jesus' teachings and doesn't know what is wrong with what he | |
| believes he knows, is criticizing specifics too harshly when the | |
| "beam" may be in their own eye. If the person really has a lack | |
| of interest (love of the truth) in the truth which Jesus is, | |
| then he does have a problem. Some people, I believe, have a | |
| 'love of truth' but are in error in some the truth that they | |
| believe that they have. [/font] | |
| [quote]Meshak: They don't even know what Jesus teaches.[/quote] | |
| [font=courier]Ignorance can be a problem for every one of us, | |
| but we are sincerely searching regularly to improve ourselves, | |
| our ignorance is better than the ignorance of a person who | |
| doesn't bother to search for anything or to ask for help as | |
| needed.[/font] | |
| [quote]Meshak: They like to pretend they are true and saved | |
| Christians.[/quote] | |
| [font=courier]Likely this is so for some people, but I would be | |
| very slow to point a finger at an individual or a group without | |
| something definite from God on it. [/font] | |
| [quote]Meshak: They like their elitism doctrines to | |
| differentiate others who don't agree with them, and argue about | |
| it.[/quote] | |
| [font=courier]Again, very likely there are some or even many who | |
| fall into the category you describe, but I would move slowly | |
| toward any complete condemnation.[/font] | |
| [quote]Meshak: Their behavior is the same as the world even | |
| though Jesus says they are salt and light of the world.[/quote] | |
| [font=courier]Yes, for too many this is likely so, but again be | |
| very careful about pointing too quickly.[/font] | |

| They don't even know what Jesus teaches.[/quote]They know | |
| enough. They surely know the Golden Rule, that we should treat | |
| others the way we would like them to treat us. Even if people | |
| haven't read the Bible or even heard of Jesus, they should know | |
| this. There are non-Christians who know and teach this rule. | |
| People who have Bibles and know Jesus said this really can't be | |
| let off the hook then if they aren't obeying the Golden Rule. | |
| They need to take a look at themselves and see if they like | |
| themselves. Sometimes I think some people who go to church | |
| don't like themselves that much. They know how they are, and | |
| they know they don't like it; but they seem to think if they go | |
| to church and others see them as "good," that will make them | |
| feel better. I don't think that works, not really. It makes | |
| them feel a little better; but it's not fixing anything. It's | |
| like taking pills when you have a thorn stuck in your foot -- | |
| sure the pills may make the pain less, but it will return unless | |
| you do something about the thorn. You could take pills and | |
| pills and more pills and never get around to getting the thorn | |
| out. You could get addicted to the pills; and people can get | |
| addicted to religion too since it makes them feel "better" about | |
| themselves; and if it isn't really making them into better | |
| people, it's an addiction. | |
| It's also sad that some people start attending church because | |
| they know they could be better people and want to be; but when | |
| they get to church, they aren't told how to live lives that | |
| would make them into better people. Indeed sometimes the people | |
| in the pews are better people than the people in the pulpits. | |
| How sad then for the the people in the pews who want to become | |
| better but are following people who are crooks, liars, and | |
| perverts People need to wake up and stop following religious | |
| leaders who don't care about other people but who care about | |
| money, sex, and power. | |

| They know enough. [/quote] | |
| they may know but they don't love Him enough to honor His word. | |
| IOW, they are giving Him a lip service. | |

| You may not see it clearly but I see it clearly. | |
| If you are not certain about it, you should not say about it. | |
| What they are producing is not true Christianity. | |

| What a bunch of terrible, flesh and blood people! | |
| Sounds like they belong in Hell, Meshak! | |
| Should we attack them for their evil deeds? | |
| Or is there another way to help them? | |

| They are not interested in being true to Jesus. Jesus' | |
| teachings are not complicated at all. | |
| My mission for my Lord is to inform the world that what we see | |
| in the world is not true Christianity. | |
| All they have to do is to read Jesus' word. All church people | |
| own the Bible, don't they? Jesus teaches simply and clearly. I | |
| nor anyone else can teach like Jesus. | |

| Some things are simple and clear... | |
| Some are not... | |
| The Church did not start with a Book... | |
| The Apostles preached out of the Old Testament... | |
| Of its fulfillment in Christ... | |
| Christ commanded the Apostles to DISCIPLE all the Nations... | |
| He did not command them to read the New Testament... | |
| Christ's Church is still upon the earth... | |
| The Gates of Hell shall not prevail over it... | |
| And yes, Christianity is in grave decline... :'( | |

| If informing the world that what they see is not true | |

| You just don't seem to realize there are some faithful and true | |

| disgracing Jesus with their wicked and corrupt faith. And you | |
| are one of enablers of wicked churches. | |
| shame on you. | |
| You are redundant, I will skip the rest. | |
| BTW, I don't worry your slandering my mission for the Lord. You | |
