Sadly we don't fight back with the appropriate enemy, Dordt. We are too busy fighting each other.
Yes, it seems like it!
Thinking that we are doing God's will,
that we are "sharing the Gospel" we have
become deluded into thinking that we are having an impact.
All of the while, we are playing the role that secular,
God-hating America has spelled out for us.
Sharing Jesus, with the already converted,
in the safety of our stained-glass fortresses,
reducing the birth of Jesus to nothing
more that a month-long birthday party.

There is more truth in your words than many of us Christians would care to admit Dordt.
And we don't even share Jesus. We argue over who has the correct interpretation of God's Word.

Many different groups of "Christendom" use
the Bible to prove contradictory teachings.
In the book Literal Interpretation of the Bible it says,
"Apparently the Bible can be made to prove almost anything."
Considering all the contradictions in the various
teachings all supposedly based on the Bible,
one must ask the question, "Who is right?"
Surely, God is not teaching, for example, that one
is saved by earning salvation by good works
and also teaching man is saved by God's Grace without works.
God cannot contradict Himself nor can He lie.
The question is then can God's truth be determined with absolute certainty?
Hanging in the balance is the very souls of men and their eternal destiny.

Except for the last line, I could have written this!

When I first became a Christian and was baptized in Jesus Name, the simplicity of the gospel made me feel so clean..so special with God. Then came all the little 'you gottas' creeping it's way into my life with various people telling me I gotta do this and I gotta do that.
You are so right when you say that there are no contradictions with God. When life gets too heavy for me, I have to go back to Matthew 11:28-30 for proper perspective to be returned to me.
I feel your heart in your posts here. We have so many of satan's minions attacking the Christian people that we just strike out trying to knock them away instead of being focused on Christ and His message.
