Red Letter Christians

What I 'like' is an interesting observation. That that is all you chose to respond to - and in such a negative fashion - speaks volumes.

They should not. Christians should enjoy living righteously not for eternal life but becuase it is the right thing to do.

Like TW said .. would the passages I quote from Christ read any differently if I answered your personal questions? This is why many Christians are an embarrassment .. they ask such foolish questions.

C'mon. For as long as I can remember, the thrust of rajk999's posts has been "This is what Jesus says. This is what the apostles say. Follow what Jesus and the apostles say. God will judge." It hasn't been, "Follow my example".

Seems like you and others keep trying to attack him personally since you can't validly refute the scripture that he puts before you. Scripture that you and others purport to believe.

You who thinks you must earn your salvation by working actually thinks you know how
and why Christians should live?

They should have God's Spirit in them and if they don't, they don't belong to the Lord.
The joy of the Lord is our strength.

Your grave error is that you think you know who has Gods spirit and who does not. Christians do not have a monopoly on Gods spirit. God can and will give his spirit and power to anyone that he so desires. We are not privy to that information

That about sums up the attitude of many Christians here unfortunately .. its sad.

What does my knowledge have to do with anything?
It is the scripture and the promises of God you are dealing with not what I do or do not know.

I promise you if you had God's Spirit you'd know so when someone asks if you belong
to God you would not have to say, we will see.
