I have no idea what the percentage is.  I don't think it's that high. \n\nI certainly hope it isn't.

Its not. The thing is that Jesus Christ set a particular lifestyle one that many find hard to live. They love their sins and refuse to give them up. For this reason they resent and hate those that "preach" this. \n\nAlso some people feel that due to the way Jesus died that we are going to hate Jewish people. That's silly its completely opposite of his teachings of brotherly love. Jesus forgave those that were hurting him at that time. So I must do the same. Besides I can't hold an entire race or faith resposible for things done by specific few over 2000 years ago.

I didn't see the question, But yes, the youth, (and mind you I come in at the border line of youth, at 26, ) will believe pretty much anything that is told to them, especially when they are asked in any way shape or form to question authority. Whoever posted that BS question needs to have there head examined.

Jesus said the way  was to follow the narrow road and few will find it.  I guess the attitudes that are received on yahoo and generally in the world from some people are a reflection of this.  Jesus was persecuted and we as his followers should expect some as well\n\nConsider it pure joy if you are being persecuted for the sake of Christ!  The truth will always face opposition.  Stand strong in the Lord and don't be discouraged.

I don't think you're missing anything at all.  I'm a Christian and I think the mixture of religions is what makes America, America!  I don't know what you were watching on TV, but I agree that they are hypocrites.

probably. I'm from the UK but I don't go to church. But I would have thought so.

I think that verse reveals a lot of modern evanglicalism to be out of step with Scripture. We have a very friendly, easy gospel preached in America where salvation is all up to us. John 6 teaches its not up to us at all in fact we contribute nothing to our own salvation including the will to believe. We are so totally depraved in our sin that we cannot even worship God unless he makes us worshippers. Very humbling.

There are 80 year old baby Christians. All they have been fed is the milk of the Word, salvation and baptism. They hardly get into the meat of the Word.\n\nI guess you are grown up when you realize that there are numerous other lessons to be learned from God's Word and are seeking them out.

Look, all those "christians" are full of $hit because when I went to sunday school, I was taught that Jesus died for your sins.  That means that, should homosexuality be a sin, it is forgiven.  Also guess what, i'm gay and taken communion and also been baptized and through confirmation (lutheran).  That being said, some people will believe what the media will tell them.  That means that if the president constantly spams anti-gay propaganda on the news and in his addresses, then most of the public will agree... sorry to say but at least 20% of Americans have to be told what to think.  In the 90's how many people did you see actively voicing their opposition against homosexuality, aside from places like tennessee, and extreme rural closeminded "everyone knows everyone else so you best be on yo' best behavior" type communities?  Some people just aren't open to change, and others just like to make sure that they are happier than others, while there are those that like to MAKE DA.MN SURE that no one can be happier than they.  Then there are those unfortunate people that were brought up in those unhealthy prejudice households.  Those are also the people that are still stuck in the 60's in the black rights movement... Please... we've gotten past that.  You just have to realize that this is the civil rights movement of our time and that the gays will prevail, just because that's how America is.  Some of you won't like that comment, but just wait until you're much older... say thirty years from now and read about it in the history textbooks.  Other than that, I still love the people that hate me for being gay, and if I were to come across them when they were involved in a car accident I would still call 911 for them and offer any assistance that I could... I'm just nice like that.  I'll quit now before i get myself all worked up over the subject.

I believe this, but it's hard in a world where the jewish peoples don't believe in the new testament."But believe what you want to, that's what freedom is all about".They only believe the old where moses said basically an eye for an eye.The new testament, Jesus fulfilling the prophecies of the old is about love and forgiveness, and we need alot more of it.So much of our country reminds me of Rome just before it fell,the rich senators, our global reach (not to spread piece either) if our leader and lawmakers practiced this we wouldn't be hated so.We need to spend some of our money on peace,it would go alot further to help the world.THOU SHALT LOVE THY LORDTHY GOD WITH ALL THY HEART,AND WITH ALLTHEY SOUL AND WITH ALL THY STRENGTH: THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF.THERE IS NONE OTHER COMMANDMENT GREATER THAN THESE. Mark 12:30-31. Peace

To answer your last question, yes, I feel this way too. Jesus did not condone hypocrites- like some people in our government, and he does not condone the rest of us blindly following them. I am not a libertarian, as you suggest you might be, but I definitely agree that the current people running things are not promoting  the best interests of the people. You should not be reported for speaking your mind, you should be commended. To answer your first question, Yes- I am going to vote.

Jesus is not walking around today, He has not returned for his people.  If he were we would not be here on earth today.  As for the Anti-christ, who knows, they could be.  I agree that Jesus is disappointed with our world today, but as the end times come closer than things will get worse.
