Why should Christians be moral?

RE: Why should Christians be moral?
(November 28, 2014 at 2:11 pm)atheism is illogical Wrote: What differentiates Christianity from every other religion is that Christianity is based on what God has done for us through Jesus Christ—divine accomplishment. Every other world religion is based on what we must do to earn God's favor and forgiveness—human achievement. Every other religion teaches that we must do certain things and stop doing certain other things in order to earn God's love and mercy. Christianity, faith in Christ, teaches that we do certain things and stop doing certain things because of what Christ has done for us.

So, are you actually proud of the fact that your religion's rewards are totally unconnected to the actions of the people involved?

Quote:How could anyone, having been delivered from sin's penalty, eternity in hell, go back to living the same life that had him on the path to hell in the first place? How could anyone, having been cleansed from the defilement of sin, desire to go back to the same cesspool of depravity? How could anyone, knowing what Jesus Christ did on our behalf, go on living as if He were not important? How could anyone, realizing how much Christ suffered for our sins, continue sinning as if those sufferings were meaningless?

Is there a threshold for sin that will discount the sinner from the rewards? Or is faith in christ all that's needed for the reward? Your above statement implies the latter, in which case it's kinda irrelevant whether they go back to sinning or not, isn't it?

By the way, are you ever going to demonstrate your username? Dodgy
