what is the point of being a “Christian” if you don’t follow Christian ethics?
the original Christian thought of being Christian as a way of life…
it wasn’t meant and wasn’t thought of as an intellectual or theoretical
exercise, it was meant to be a complete and total way of life…
you didn’t just show how Christian you were by occasionally attending
church for one hour a week…no, you vowed to live your life in
accordance to the teachings of Christ…
it is the same for philosophy… Plato and Aristotle thought of philosophy
as a way of life, not as a theoretical devise to create philosophy but to live
philosophy… as a way of life…
this understanding is lost in today’s world…
why don’t use theories or ism’s as a way of life…
capitalism today is not a way of life, but a tool to
enslave millions of people, but it is not a way of life…
communism of stalin/lenin was used to enslave millions of lives,
but it was a false and failed understanding of Marx’s communism
that drove this version of communism… but it wasn’t meant
to be a way of life…
and that is the failure of today… we hold theoretical views,
though shall not lie… though shall not kill… but
we don’t practice what we preach, we don’t want to
have a way of life… we want easy answers to the question,
how shall we live our lives? certainly no one today, even suggests
that we turn believe into a way of life… if you are truly an
Christian, then make that a way of life…
be what you believe in…
become that person…
oh no, that is way too hard to even suggest…
most people would rather have simple, answers that require no
commitment… why work to be a Christian? it is easier to
just pretend… be a CINO…Christian in name only…
and you CINO who approve of IQ45 depriving the poor and working poor
of much needed aid and assistance… you hold your Christianity lightly
and in name only if you don’t work to improve the lot of the poor…
for didn’t Christ himself work to help and aid the poor and needy…
it is an easy thing to proclaim one Christianity if it means you don’t have to do
anything… a Cino would say, let the poor suffer because they brought it on themselves…
we, we work for everything we have and so should they…
it is easy to proclaim ones superiority when there is food on the table and a roof
over one’s head…it is easy to think the world is alright when you
know where your next meal is coming from…
Millionaire congressmen think the world has no problem because they
are millionaires and they have food on the table and a roof over their head…
it is easy to dismiss the poor and needy if you have no want…
if I am fine… the rest of the world can go to hell… I have mine…
the thoughts of Christians? no, the thought of CINO’s…
It is easy to be a Christian if one doesn’t actually have to practice Christianity…
if one doesn’t actually use Christianity as a way of life… just occasionally and
whenever it is convenient to be a Christian…that is the CINO way…
call yourself Christian when it suits you and when it is convenient…
but don’t use it as a way of life… just once a week for an hour a day…
