<<<I know from personal experience that there are a few Christian individuals (almost always men) who are apt to use God, the scriptures, and religious doctrine as a tool to cut down others and implicitly elevate themselves into a superior position over those others.>>>> Your right, there are some that do that for their own personal gain and I constantly have to examine my own motives before I say anything to make sure I don't fall into that trap. So in that sense I have no problem with you doubting my integrity but please don't reject the message. The man you mentioned may have been true and he may have been false I only have your testimony to rely on. But are you a faithful witness in the eyes of the Lord? Is your judgement true? Listen to the words of Jesus: For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:20 Are you more righteous than those who spent their entire lives trying to fulfill every bit of the law? (They all failed). If not then your not going to heaven to be with God. You break one law and the law condemns you because it is merciless. This is a very, very hard saying to anyone who trusts in their own merits and good deeds. Those on the other hand who have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour have inherited his righteousness and because of that can boldly come before God knowing that their sins are not imputed to them and they have obtained a righteousness acceptable to God. That righteousness that Jesus Christ offers should be greatly desired by men, but sad to say most reject it because they don't understand it's value. Do you know it's value? I implore you to search the scriptures for yourself to see if these things are true even if in your eyes I am not. Chris
