: : I thought this was a pretty clever post from another website regarding christianity (of course I'm going to hell just for having noticed it. Ah well.) :: : "Fundamentalist (legalist) Christians are working on getting laws passed to "return" the U.S. to "Christian morality". If they succeed to the degree they desire, they will, in effect, BE the government. On the other hand, we are hearing how the End-times will have the government forcing people to "accept the mark of the beast" in order to get food, fuel, etc... If both of these scenarios do come into being, would that not make the legalistic Christians into "the beast" they so adamantly warn against?"
: Actually, people go the Hell because they refuse to accept Christ as their personal Savior. Those who repent of their sin and accept Christ receive the gift of eternal life. Nothing else makes a difference either way.
: Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
: Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Piper: Tell me gotch, what right do christians have to legislate morality (or anything else for that matter) for non-christians?
