Most importantly, NO, I'm not saying it doesn't matter if someone doesn't even try. Jesus says that some will claim to have done works in His name. There are a number of parables and stories in the New Testament which describe why just claiming to follow Jesus doesn't work. Don't ask me to tell you exactly how it works. There are 66 books in the Bible. Don't ask me to summarise them here.

I'm not saying that I won't read the article. Just that, without reading the article, I agree, there are hypocrites....but NOBODY is a perfect Christian, whether hypocrite or not. I'm not. I don't claim to be.  That's WHY we need Jesus. Again, don't ask me to explain it to you. 27 books in the New Testament are still being studied by biblical scholars. Christ died for you and for me. I DO things BECAUSE of that, not to EARN anything. I can't earn anything. It's already been done FOR me.

If you are receiving bounces then send them to me off-list.  If not please
send me the time of a message you sent which didn't seem to make it along with
the message-id if possible and I'll investigate it.

Why not read the article?

Are you saying that it doesn't matter if someone doesn't even try?
