@Pomme843 Also, youngwiseman1, I think your assertion that "lukewarm Christians" are the ones who are self-centered, is an implicit No True Scotsman fallacy. You seem to imply that Christians are non-self-centered by definition - an implication that is deemed as cheating, as in said type of fallacy.
I think it's a bad idea to take pleasure in the world by taking people's money and behaving like a narcisistic psycho. Alos, how do you know what god has said, or even that he exists?

@Youngwiseman1 What is it that I seemingly don't know about god?
"Did you know that not every person who says their a christian is? Those people who say they are are known as luke-warm christians. Their the ones who are self-centered..."
In my experience, the "most religious" people are the most self-absorbed, e.g. the Pope. The act of praying, too, is egoistical. Although one is praying for other people, it is the one who is praying who feels better afterwards. No one else.

@Youngwiseman1 Amen.

@Pomme843 Somebody obviously doesn't know much about god. Did you know that not every person who says their a christian is? Those people who say they are are known as luke-warm christians. Their the ones who are self-centered, and, if you are a true christian, then you don't beleive you'll go to Heaven, you'll know. Also, God never said we can't have happiness while here, in fact, he said that we should take pleasure in the world. But he did say that the happiness has to be through him.

@Pomme843 Its the way most humans are. What these Christians who were raised in Christianity don't realize is that if they had been raised in an extremist Islamic society, they would follow the flock before having read the Koran in its entirety, as they are doing with Christianity and the Bible. Its so sad to see how society indoctrinates children before they are old enough to read it alone, constantly breathing down their backs spoon-feeding them their idiocy.

@Youngwiseman1 I have read Revelation. It arouses more questions than answers them, such as, what is their perception of a star? (A star will come down into the ocean and pollute the waters-????? not a meteor, comet, asteroid.. a star?). As for Mosaic Laws, once again, they contradict the theory of objective morality. The Bible bears the ineradicable mark of primordial minds, who knew little of health, variables to situations, etc... Have you read 1, 2 Infancy?

@andythorn1313 The lens of "me, me, me"? Interesting. In my experience, many Christians are quite self-centered and solipsistic themselves. People (particularly religious ones) are quick to use personal conviction, wishful thinking and voices in their head as "proof" of the alleged truthfulness of various bronze age notions, and although they believe they'll be in Heaven for eternity after death, they're swift to grab more than their share of mundane pleasures. In my experience.

Why do we still debate the existence of God? The sun, love, art, emotion, peace, value of money existences can't be doubted even if they rely on human ideas, behavior, knowledge, social and cultural consensus, yet God has no demonstrable evidence of existence.

@dataDyne6 Read Revelation. It's an eye opener

@dataDyne6 Again, laws no longer followed. Old Testament Laws, that are no longer followed.
All I can say is that this study is one of the most impactful, intellegent studies that I've ever been in. There a lot of people that really, really hate the idea that their post-modern relativism can't be true, and so this study tends to make them upset, that someone has finally said no. Your ideas are completely wrong as long as they aren't supported by Christ. It's beautiful and much needed for this generation to take away the lens of "me, me, me!" and replacing it with the truth of Christ.

@kelwattz7 Points to ponder: The truth has no agenda.
2) Its a 13 week study. We have a belief system, whether we realize it or not, and our lifestyle often contradicts the beliefs we claim to hold
3) no one is lured in, anything anyone does is by choice.
