The Scriptures are acknowledged, but it's still 'up to God,' because he is merciful, is the general statement. The contradictory nature of the Bible, is why we see so many Christians one minute, preaching about Jesus, etc and in the next breath, condeming people who don't think like them. The recent hostile political debate against homosexuals marrying has been spearheaded by Christian Fundamentalists, mainly. And why is that? Because in the Bible, homosexuality is condemned by God. So, Christians who follow the Bible, think it's their right to shun homosexuals.
There are good Christians in the world, but it has nothing to do with Christianity. lol It has to do with some people just try to be good people, and some people don't. And that's life. Crediting a Deity for being a decent human being has never really made any sense to me.
We can even see it on this site. Christians who deliberately offend others rather effortlessly, and then post Bible verses. lol If it weren't so sad, it might be funny.
