Christianity?

If others write, I may respond. Lee, I want to apologize to you for how Christians have hurt you. I have yet to find someone who is hardcore against Christianity unless they have experienced hypocrite Christians, or a tragedy in their life. Even devout Muslims will reason and discuss.

In the future, will the science now, be irrelevant? You said “what the ancients think is irrelevant.” In the late 19th century, the sick went to the barber to drain some of their blood. That is why the barber pole is red and white. Science now has caught up to what the Bible has always claimed: the life is in the blood. True science is observable and repeatable and does not change.

The stances that you wrote about appear to come from self-proclaimed experts that know one verse and twist it into a different meaning. That expert does not know the Bible, God nor that culture. For example, public prayer. Jesus often prayed in private and in public. Jesus gave thanks before feeding  masses of people.

The culture then, as well as now, has plenty of hypocrites. Pharisees with their prayers, they say they are Christian but do not practice what Jesus said to do. Many just go to church, some say they were baptized with water and do not go to church, and some say they are Christian because their parents went to church 20 years ago.  Many well=respected preachers say that many people go to church, who say they are Christian, but are not. There are preachers of Christian churches that are not Christian.

I will pray for you Lee. I will pray that you can look past the people who may be false Christians that created the anger, or that you can view any tragedy in a different light. If you look past the pain and search for the truth, the truth will set you free. And then you will be free indeed.
