I disagree with you . What's turning people away is that they don't want to live by God's Word and do what is required to make heaven their home . They want a religion that will allow them to keep on doing what they please and God doesn't work that way . Being a Christian requires sacrifice and commitment , which is a reasonable request after all Christ did for us .

Steven performed at this church as a favor to his friend , Marianne Williamson , the pastor at the church at that time . Not sure if you're familiar with her ministry , but it does not go along with the bible .

Sorry for the misunderstanding . It does matter though what church a person is in . If they go to a church that teaches something contrary to God's Word , they are hurting themselves more than helping .

Not sure if you're aware , but Karma comes from the Buddhists belief . Christians believe in the Golden Rule , Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you . Everything we do , good or bad , will come back to us 10 fold .

The saying what goes around comes around is very true. Treat others as you would be treated. Therefore, karma.

You misunderstood me. I meant if he is in church praising the Lord, what does it matter where the church is. Plant a seed, watch it grow.

Amen. Organized religion is what has got our churches turning away the very people it needs to have in it.

Thank you for that info. I had tried to make a point as to whether it mattered where the church is or not, so long as he is there praising the LORD.

We can only hope that God will reach Steven and the other band members of Aerosmith and bring them to repentance before it is too late .

Just because Steven said , thank God for this or that or said , God bless you to his audience does NOT make him a Christian . The bible tells you that even the devil believes in God and knows the bible and trembles , but what good does it do him ? |
