I grew up going to church but I’m not religious now and I never really understood this part.
Please, no answers along the lines of “aha, that’s why Christianity is a sham” or “religions aren’t logical”. I don’t want to debate whether it’s right or wrong, I just want to understand the logic and reasoning that Christians use to explain this.
i think @10A generally does describe what I learned in my past growing up in a Christian household - although I’m not religious anymore. It’s not about doing bad stuff and then being saved, but just doing good things as a result of believing in God and striving to be like Jesus and whatnot.
Now, whether people who claim to be Christians act in that way is another story - in my experience Christianity that I witness in the world today is very contradictory from whatever the Bible says lol
What do you mean “claim to be christians”? They are christians.
Bible tells you to stone adulterers and kill homosexuals.
You’re confusing two covenants.
