[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 70470, member: 704"] I think the church one goes to makes a difference in how one thinks of religion later on in life. As I read more and more it becomes clear that the proper way to talk to people about Christianity is to tell them about law and gospel. The law of the old testament should convict you as a sinner if you are honest with yourself. The gospel rescues you. To many of the old churches preached hell,fire, and brimstone. I guess they thought they could literally scare the hell out of people. Today the liberal churches are just as wrong because they preach universalism, and that everyone is going to heaven no matter which religeon, and no matter your actions. As I said the church makes a difference. I switched a few years ago from a church that was very clique to one where all care about one another. In the first month I had more real friends than I did in 38 years in the very liberal church I had attended. Their kindness is much more genuine. Some like to portray Christians as killers, but what does the Bible say about killing? [/QUOTE]
