Christians: Do you really love your neighbor as yourself?

Are you sinning, if you do not?

Aren't you contradicting your own belief? And is this sin okayed by God? Why is it okay for you to sin, though everyone else that sins "must repent"?

Do you, yourself repent every night, just to be sure that God accepts you into his kingdom?

I'm being serious. How does this work?

    Answer: they don't.

    And, quite honestly, the best criteria to judge christians by, is to see if they live their values every day and follow the teachings and expectations of the mythical jesus creature. Problem is -- NO CHRISTIANS DO THAT. EVER. None of them ever TRY to meet his expectations -- especially if doing so would make their lives inconvenient. All they do is make excuses - they blab about being saved and forgiven, as if that's all that counts, and they can slack on the rest; they cherry pick scriptures they want to do and purposely ignore the rest.

    One example of many: Clearly, the teachings of the mythical jesus creature demand his True Followers to NOT hoard wealth and to NOT amass worldly goods, but to give all your excess to those in need.

    Of course, that would make the lives of christians inconvenient -- so it's just another one of the MANY jesus tenets and expectations that they completely ignore.

    They are cowards and they are traitors to their values and they are TRAITORS to their mythical jesus creature.

    LUKE 6:24 But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.

    LUKE 14:33 Whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

    LUKE 18:18-22 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up. ...thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

    LUKE 16:19-25 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

    MATTHEW 19:23-24 & MARK 10:23-25 ---- they say the same thing -----

    Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

    YOU COWARDLY HYPOCRITES CAN EITHER: LIVE YOUR VALUES AND DO WHAT YOUR JESUS CREATURE DEMANDS, OR YOU CAN GO TO HELL AND BURN. Sound familiar?

    Do you REALLY think you will be saved when, day after day, you deliberately and consciously refuse to live by his expectations and teachings?? EVERY DAY you deliberately ignore his tenets.

    You are nothing but cowards and frauds, making excuses, if you really think that.

    God asked us to really live with each other in two ways.....With Honor and love for our neighbor.....Your concept of Sin is what many Preachers are Preaching trying to teach that you must earn your way into heaven which you cannot do.... We cannot make ourselves perfect so we do as Jesus ask us to do.... Place our hand in his for he said, "Nothing can take you out of my hand." Preachers that teach this view of Sin have no idea who they worship......so my friend trust Jesus and live and he will not let temptation last to long around you but a word of warning "All children of God will be asked by Satan to come over onto his side"

    They love their neighbor as long as the neighbor is a christian. If not they take perverse pleasure in damning them to an eternity of brutal suffering

    "Who is my neighbor?"

    Any person... if they need help...

    Those who ignore the poor will have their fill of poverty.
