Turn or Burn is All they Hear




"Christian evangelists" screaming Turn or Burn and God Hates Fags seems to be the only interaction todays society has with so called "Christians". So can you blame society for not wanting anything to do with this so called religion? I certainly dont. The example that has been set is that of condemnation, which is ironically preached about so much that those in Christ Jesus recieve no condemnation because Christ has set free those chained down by the law of sin and death (Romans 8:1-2). This generation, myself included; has found it easier to condemn those who do not walk with the Lord rather than condone them and show them the love that we as followers have recieved. As Christians we so often forget the two greatest commandments Jesus spoke of 1. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind and 2. You shall love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22: 37-39). Jesus also commanded us to love another as he has loved us (John 15:12), so with Christ as our roadmap to how we should live should condemning be at all part of our daily lives? Christ never condemned so why should we. We are all sinners and that will never change but what can change is the love shown to those who havent yet found that condoning Christian. Christians are the only bibles some individuals will ever read so therefore we must always seek first the love and grace that was given to us by the one who died so that we may never face condemnation."Turn or Burn" is the of the past now and with our generation growing full of condemners, myself included; let us make steps toward becoming a revived generation of condoners.
