Re: Jesus as a Republican

Good Morning PlainOl!

 

How prey tell,  does a belief in, or "Faith"  in Jesus Christ control people? 

 

What you clearly don't understand or know is Christianity.   Christianity is a loving, forgiving faith PlainOl;  there is no fear, there is no "control".  Unless you "choose"  to subject yourself to it,  that "Fire and Brimstone"  crap died out four or five decades ago.

 

It's quite simple really.   You accept the Holy Trinity, which is a little hard to comprehend, (but not really).  The Father,  The Son, The Holy Ghost,  separately and indiviually.  Period. 

 

There are no judgments,  (despite what many dogmatic indivduals who use their faith to beat folks up with might espouse);  there are no prerequisites;  there are not tests, nor are there any "Penalties";  at least here on Earth. 

 

"Judge Not, Lest Ye Be Judged"; as well as Love Thy Neighbor" come to mind this morning, but in general,  it is obvious that you are clearly misinformed about Christianity.
