With that, we cannot bring it to ourselves that becoming a Christian can be that simple. We feel yes, everyone needs to be saved, but we also feel the Churches have made this WAY to simple! Maybe this is for numbers, maybe for members, maybe for money, maybe because they honestly think that's the way it is....
We simply cannot bring it to ourselves to give respect to someone claiming Christian who cannot support it.... This is why we equally feel we must change ourselves inward & outward before claiming such a commitment to God.
So then maybe we are being judgmental?
