Now the mere fact that you have chosen as your Alpha & Omega of C/A as being Jezuzfreak777 & the Amazing Atheist, we can easily gage the earnestness of your experiment. JF777 represents the evangelical far right & the Amazing Atheist saw William Hung on American Idol an figured, if he can make money at it so can a redneck from the south. Now if under the slimmest chance that you are in earnest, watch this vid, this is an example of honest faith

i have not chosen my alpha and omega as JF and TAA... they are just debating the nature of my challenge. and i thought i would chime in with my actual opinon.

[cjunk351]

Are you really 36 years old?

[msnomer71]

ha, yes... why does everyone keep asking this.

[anewworldman]

On the accountability issue, I would look to two Scriptural passages. First to Matthew 5:23-24, which admonishes us to first be reconciled with our brother before we make any offering to God. And secondly to James 5:16, which instructs us to confess our sins and faults to one another and to pray for healing and forgiveness. This is absolutely essential in achieving the unity in love that Christ wishes for His people.

No masturbating?! Oh noes!

Eph 4:32 And be ye kind one to another , tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

you are not following all the tenents of christianity a true christian is totally devoted to God for life, not one month, There is nothing wrong with what your doing reading the bible, going to church etc. however it is not possible to be a christian for a month.To be a christian one must understand that Jesus is God and accept his sacrifice to save them from their sin.

3) Christianity is not something you can just jump in and jump out of in a month.

By the way, any sin is a sin against God no matter who it's against.

2) You may notice I asteriked religion above, b/c it is different than *faith*.... If you dont have [sincere] faith & love in Christ you will not get a sincere(real) result in your "experiment."  You praying for strength b/c of idle chatter would be like a regular joe deciding to try out for the major leagues and attempting to hit a pitch from Roy Halladay, not going work..

[mytuber81]

1) I think your experiment is ... .. Interesting, from the stand point of it possibly leading to a better understanding of the Christian *religion*. BUT, on the other hand you commented about JF777 telling you that you need love of God. He is absolutely right...

[CapnnOrdinary]

so what is the end result?

[BloodStainedLamb]

God is very happy that you are going through this experiment. so am I . I have been a Christian for seven years and I've had a major crisis in that time with faith. I continued to be a Christian and the Lord continue to love me. In the end, that doubting experience simply brought me closer to God and strengthened my relationship with Him. test everything, (1 Thessalonians 5:21)

[angelcollector22]

Being a Christian is not about trying to be perfect. It is about being covered by Christ when you cannot be perfect. I do believe the Ten Commandments is EXTREMELY important, and having a moral code that Jesus would have. Those of us who truly believe and are born again WANT even feel an EXTREME need to do what is right because we want to please Him. When we fall short, Christ's perfectness covers us. accountabilty? Examples of how We try to live it.

He probably accused you of mocking him because he was uncomfortable with you doing a better job at his religion than he was.
