In a recent survey of 18-29yrs olds – First word descriptors for Christians:
91% Anti-Homosexual
87% Judgemental
85% Hypocritical
47% of Americans see no difference in the Bible, Koran, and Book of Mormon
52% of Adults consider that Christianity can not be considered the religion of the people
20-30% no longer associate with any religion
When Jesus came to the earth, he DID not say “you shall be known as anti-homosexual”. “you shall judge all non-believers and not live the way you preach.”
Matthew 5:13 “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet. 14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
BUT At what point does a conversation happen?
