Amazing how unchristian christian friends can be isn't it.
Its also totally against the teachings - they adore repentant sinners - Jesus is all over them. The concept that you have to be sin free to get to Jesus is just rubbish.
I don't know - sometimes its enough to make you think there's no God at all........oh!
The Biblical Jesus did not turn his back on sinners. He ate and drank with tax collectors and other lowlifes. He even healed a Roman officer's servant. If a bad child goes to his parents, usually they don't forsake him just because he's bad.
My friend tells me I shouldn't lust after women and it's a sin. I want to stop, but how do you turn off being attracted to hot females?
