Reason for converting Good Christians

[DD_8630]

Gay marriage rights is the main thing you are talking about right? it is indeed a con then but you have to weight it againt the increase of bad deeds and decrease of good deeds if christianity is to decline much straightaway. Further, put it in consideration that in the past thousands of years of history of modern Mankind society Gay marriages did not formally exist anyways till the past..20 years?

Err... gay marriage has existed since antiquity. It is the spread of the fervent homophobia of Abrahamic religions that turned it into the 'great sin' we have in Western culture today. Indeed, the greatest empires on Earth celebrated same-sex love.

To 8630:

Those who believe in God SHOULD follow his words. And I believe there is specifically a verse:

Faith, without works, is dead.

I do not know what verse it is I just know there is such a verse.

It's James 2:20, and he is referring to the "Ye shall know them by their fruits" thing. First, you don't need to do specific actions to be saved: you are saved regardless of what you do. Second, you can tell if someone else has been saved by the actions they do: their actions don't make them saved, but they are evidence of their salvation.

If one's works really did get one saved, then Heaven would be dominated by atheists.
