Okay, you clowns. Enough already. (Hi, Homey. Love you, my baby)
I think it is quite admirable that a 16 year old is more concerned with his religion than with drugs etc.
Dijon, I personally don’t agree with a previous poster who said that the Bible was written by men. It was written by God. Moses did not part the seas - God did. Nor was it the disciples that raised the dead and healed the sick - it was God.
If you drink a nice milkshake you don’t think: Wow! That straw was nice! You think the milkshake was nice. God uses humans as straws. He lets His power work through us, just the way He did when the Bible was written. But reading the Book means nothing if you don’t know the Author.
You say that you believe in Christ, but you aren’t “Christ-like” and you only worship with your lips. There is nothing easier than being Christian. All you have to do is to have a personal relationship with Him.
Believing in Christ is not enough. As you know Satan believes in Him, and I don’t think its going to do him any good. Talk to God. He is your best friend, your confidante and the One who loves you more than you can fathom.
Be careful of judging others with comments like “I would like Christians to respond, and if you think you’re Christian but believe masturbation is okay you are not a Christian.” There’s enough non-believers judging Christians already. Lol.
