"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it."
-Matthew 7:13
Right CJ & JP. Jesus spent his time changing sinners, he was a doctor to the sick. What we get today is the mingling without the saltiness, the sick hanging with the sick. Christians should NOT be like the world, and yes, I saw Matt’s post, the hipster pastors are part of the problem. Churches are “successful” when they are “popular” but Jesus is never “popular” and never will be. A fake “Jesus Christ Superstar” version of him is very popular, but that impostor carries no cross and imposes on no one.
“If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.” – John 15:19
I’m not going to pretend that I know for sure that we shouldn’t walk with non-believers. However, I will proclaim for sure we shouldn’t be like the world.
I get that. Jesus did not fellowship with unbelievers the way Christians try to today. Like Matt Walsh said in his latest post. I agree, tolerance is usually just lukewarmness and its rationalization.
Ok, so I thought this was good, but here are some thoughts:
-Your last statement was strange: “I don’t know for sure that we should be just like the world.” I do, we shouldn’t! But I think you were saying that we should be distinct, but nowadays we are not.
-I like where you are going with this, but honestly, I don’t hold Paul’s comments in as high esteem as Jesus’s. (Gasp!) And Jesus spent time with sinners. How do we reconcile Paul’s comments about not even walking with unbelievers, while Jesus spent so much time with them? Not disagreeing, just trying to work it out.
The terminonlogy was interesting and I think I see where you were going with this but I don’t know that you made your point in the end. Are you saying that scientists that are Christians should not work with or even interact with those that are not? Does that extend to non-scientists?
“I don’t know if you’d be able to tell if a chicken is autistic…” – Had me laughing.
I like this brother. I may be posting again tomorrow, you really got me thinking about tolerance.
