Quote:Luke 6:29 and 30 - If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back.If you can be bothered to go above and beyond for those in need then maybe Christianity is not for you.
Quote:My personal definition of worship comes from those who say they worship Jesus. They excuse everything he does that would be considered evil if it was anyone else who does it, and they credit all good things to him. Like you said in your recent post: Pray to god, and if things work out it's because of him. Presumably if things don't work out, it's your fault? Loggic's a bit faulty there.
