That is the topic of this thread

I agree soldiers kill their enemies but look at the rest that you wrote.

Grace is another topic.

Some times I wonder how people apply Christianity in their lives. It is one thing to have issues with not understanding good. But the Bible will in general tell us what is good to do and what is bad to do. It is not that difficult. We can be very good and live a nearly sinless life. So why did...

Trust me I run into this a lot. You mention perspective. You say be good and do good and people flip out. "NO ONE IS GOOD BUT GOD WE ARE ALL DIRTY RAGS...DUNG IN THE DITCH!" But that is not the understanding and perspective we are talking about. Simply obeying the morals in the New Testament...

The vernation of Mary and the Mother of God title are two different things. Getting a good book on Christian history will help you out with that. Veneration started with the congregations, maybe as early as the end of the first century, not the Church leadership. Correspondence related to...

I might understand where you are coming from but blanket statement "no one lays down their life for anyone" Most do not lay down there lives...Ya know take a bullet for someone is one thing...but then you have the military, police, and firemen, etc

I like your video.

The rat race? I have lived the rat race.... My family has had to live with me talking...they know I am not talking to myself...and don't worry I am not hearing voices. It is my way of walking with Christ....talking to Him.

Good reply. And it is good to keep things in perspective. Perfection is the goal....and that goal is impossible. Everything about Christianity is about setting your sites on that goal, but salvation was tailor made for those that are going to fall and get back up and sight that goal back in...

LOL we are talking about why it is hard to be good.

I understand that. My stepdad shot my mom in the chest at point blank range with a .38 Special. Pacifism can be a difficult concept for some. I am not a pasifist.....my step dad did not work another day in his life. My mom recovered. One of the problems with some of the scriptures is that...

Testimony is good. The Bible is not there to condemn. It is the light...the beacon of truth. Lets discuss truth.

You say the flesh...what do you mean? I don't want to assume....give me examples

Do you think any of that is sin?

The Bible calls Christ's teachings commandments and laws. But Christ's teachings are just that, and we are his followers. He is our example of morality. That ministry of death engraved in stones....we are not part of that ministry. We are part of a better covenant, enacted on better promises...

I understand....but what is hard?

Difficulty. The tread is about "Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?" Why? I am saying it is not hard to be good. Prove me wrong. Now it is impossible to be perfect....I am talking what is hard. It is a worth while discussion because I think people are getting it wrong. So tell me.

That is cool! But I need examples. You do not have to get personal with yourself...just examples.

Bad idea. None compare to God. But there are a lot of good Christians. Got to keep things in perspective. I have little trouble being good. Do you believe it is hard to be good?
