Bad News For Evangelicals

[GrandizerII]

silverspine, loving the Lord with all your heart, mind, soul, etc means putting God first in your life; it doesn't mean devoting yourself to full knowledge of scripture or doctrines that were formulated decades after Jesus' supposed utterance of these words. As a former Evangelical myself, I knew many Christians IRL who aren't well read when it comes to the Bible, who don't know much about the history of the church, who don't really understand the doctrine of the Trinity (hell, even learned Christians get this one wrong) but nevertheless believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and clearly live a life devoted to him, perhaps even more obviously and modestly than you do.
