Stupid Is As Stupid Does

I have to comment on the article from World News Daily. I hope you follow the link and read the entire article. The Barna Group conducted the poll and latter in the article defined the people who called themselves Born Again Christians. "For the study, "born-again Christians" were defined as people who said they had made a personal commitment to Jesus Christ that was still important in their life today and who also indicated they believed that when they die they will go to heaven because they had confessed their sins and had accepted Jesus Christ as their savior."

This definition is important because it reveals how biblically ignorant most people who call themselves Christians really are. 50 percent of these so-called Christians don't believe Satan exists, and 33 percent believe that Jesus sinned while he was on earth. How can a person say they believe Jesus is their Savior and yet not believe that Satan, the devil exists? Jesus talked about the devil, he cast out demons, what do they think Jesus meant when he talked about the existence of the devil? One third of these people think Jesus sinned this is a clear cut give away that they don't understand the gospel at all.

What polls like this reveal is that there are many religious people who claim Christianity but have no clue what it is about. It also reveals that biblical ignorance is at an all time high, not only in the pew but also in the pulpit. Barna noted the millions of people who describe themselves as Christian and believe Jesus sinned, or those who say they will experience eternal salvation because they confessed their sins and accepted Christ as their savior, "but also believe that a person can do enough good works to earn eternal salvation."

There is a religious version of Christianity that is a" self-help, pull yourself up spiritually, earn your way into heaven and with a little help from God you can make if you try, because your a good person and if anybody deserves to be there you do"; this is a false spirituality that is no more than a load of spiritual crap. Get into the bible and read it yourself and attend a Church that faithfully preaches the true gospel. There is a cure for this kind of ignorance.
