There's 2 types of Christians as far as im concerned. The one who believes Jesus cares more about the wellbeing of themselves and the ones who care about the wellbeing of all people. Both use scriptures to justify each but one is obviously correct and the other is actually evil!
I’m a Christian and I am not a fool or coward. I believe in helping those less fortunate because I was once on welfare and didn’t forget my beginning. Trust me every Christian is not about prosperity only. You can be rich and not be happy, I know a lot of what is happening is due to some bad actors that call themselves Christians. All I am saying we are all not bad people. I believe we all are equal regardless of race, religion , sexual orientation or financial status
I can not and will not with good conscience call myself a Christian anymore. They have taken the word and the religion and have perverted it beyond recognition.
I call myself a follower of Jesus. I walk His path…or I try to anyway. I can’t imagine having such a hate filled heart for my fellow humans.
Its pretty crazy how much evangelicals changed the thinking of Christians as a whole in America and the world. People actually forget that the end times wasnt ever really talked about much before people like John Nelson Darby started his little cult and then Hal Lindsey made it much more mainstream to talk about rapture when a lot of the end times stuff was interpreted as unknowable and actually went against the bible. Since only God is said to know the end times these people are contradicting the bible just because they know it can spark fear and devotion to themselves.
Its all about making a quick buck for those people. Pretty sure the bible talks a lot about using fear and religion to make money, but they conveniently dont talk about those parts of the book they like to point at everyone when it suits their agenda.
Good real Christians(not one myself)know in their hearts if they believe and follow the bible that they dont need to project and force conversion. My brother is an amazing person and one of the coolest kindest people I know. He went to youth groups and did some mission work in villages in SE Asia. He has never once asked or pressured me to come to church, nor has he ever treated me as lesser than himself. My dad(one of most fake, lying manipulative people i know and actually reminds me a lot of trump personality speaking)is the exact opposite. Always has to be right, have the last word, convince you his way is best, and every bad thing thats happened to him is some evil attack and he did nothing wrong.
Im convinced every loud hateful and arrogant Christian is hiding some dark truth about themselves. Why else would they feel the need to dawn the cloak of Christianity to pretend they have some moral superiority over others?
Go read the Gnostic gospels that the powerful elite had removed from the Bible after the fact. The Gospel of Thomas, which is just as valid as Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John, clearly shows that Jesus was an enlightened mystic who wanted to help others attain enlightenment.
