GQS--Im just a random reader but, you, take religon way to seriously and obviously try to live up to a book, not meant to be lived by, but meant to guide you. I know plenty of catholics and christians, and ive never seen someone so pathetic as to respond with quotes. Do you not have your OWN voice? Are you so obsessed with religon that you cannot even speak your own opinion and must use bible quotes as self expression?
...Most importantly, you seem to have spent a lot of time with this...And, I am positive you have commited sins, that you have done something wrong that goes aganist the words you preach... HA, she took a quiz that had sexual references...I take what you left as a quote to mean that YOU have never had done sexual acts, had sexual fantasies or *gasp* made a sexual reference. You have no right to tell people they arent religious enough, YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO TAKE THE BIBLE WORD FOR WORD. and everyone who believes in god, each have their own ways of showing it.....
Personally, id rather be a lukewarm christian than a fanatic that is to busy trying to live out perfection that will never be reached, and in the meantime is wasting their lives and are just a sheep among the herd of mindless religon nuts.

First of all, The word of God is what I and all Christians live by. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 "All Scripture is Godbreathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." Notice the word ALL. I judge everything in life by the word of God and not MY own opinion for He is FAR more holy, and perfect in knowledge than I will ever be. Secondly did you miss the part where I quoted 1 John 1:8-10 "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives." I never claimed to be without sin, rather the opposite, but I am in Christ and I am covered by His blood, my sins are forgiven, I am a child of God! I do not claim to be able to live up to the law, because I know I can't. Romans 3:23 "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," And since I am in Christ Romans 3:24 "and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." I am a new creation in Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And because I am a new creation I do my best to live by the word of God. I do not expect someone like you to be able to live up to this standard because you are not a Christian. On the other hand I do expect others who claim to be followers of my Lord and Savior to do their best to obey the commands He has given us. No one is perfect, and no one can live up to the law, but that's why Christ died for us. I will end this with one last thing. The gospel is for everyone to hear. The one thing Paul never stopped preaching was the gospel of Jesus Christ, to all everywhere. So here it is. He who has ears let Him hear....
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
John 3:3 I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.
John 14:6 I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Romans 10:9-11 that if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your ehart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart you believe and are JUSTIFIED, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says "anyone who trusts in Him will never be put to shame."
Revelation 3:20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will come in and eat with him and he with me."
If you hear His voice today, listen. Believe in Him and receive forgiveness of sin. Be free from th yoke of the law that you can never live up to! It doesnt at all mean that you can throw the law away, but if the burden is removed, and you fail to live according to the law of God, we have forgiveness, and can pick up and try again.
I am glad, and will sing praise before my God, that he chose to rescue me, a SHEEP gone astray. If you choose to go the other way, and not heed the word He has given us that is your choice. We will all sit before the judgement seat of God, and give an account of everything in our lives. Will you have the blood of Jesus Christ covering you, or will you be condemned before a holy God?
