Ha, made me chuckled near the end there Swervo! Yes I was upset, but setting an annoying punk like me straight definitely should NOT result in you landing in hell! Maybe God would actually reward you for helping to set me straight!
Anyway, criticizing my faults is totally understandable, but I really don’t understand your other position of not wanting to share your opinion of what’s better. Isn’t that the whole point of discussions?
You have a favorite way of cooking steak. There can be discussions of different methods of cooking, I can understand there’s no point bragging about your way, but please do share! Sure, I may not agree your way is better, but I just might end up adopting your way. Who knows until it’s out in the open and until I give it a try, right? Of course it’s also fine if it’s your secret recipe and not wanting to share. However, usually discussions involve exchange of ideas, right? Not just about criticizing my steak sucks?
Anyway, I also think you’re misunderstanding what following Christ is all about. We’re not asked to become lawyers of Gods laws and to strictly live according to those strict laws. That’s the Old Testament, Jewish way. I follow Jesus because he can take me to a whole new level! He offers me better alternatives in life, but of course I also have to choose to take it.
Anyway, I personally just think Bible is like the greatest self help book ever written, and you also have Jesus as your life coach… and all that is free of charge! Well, I suppose there will be some expenses…, you have to put in some effort, donate money to church and the needy, but point is God himself is not receiving any of my money.
If you think your life is just fine, the of course just continue on cooking your steak in your same favorite way and refuse to listen and try other recommendations.
However, if you think perhaps there are areas in your life that you are struggling with and don’t know how to… get rid of your stupid imposter syndrome for example. Perhaps it won’t kill you to give Jesus a chance?
