We don't enjoy having our own irresponsible choices or sins spoken of by Pastors, etc.

Most of us have been there, sitting in Church, listening to a good sermon concerning people and life. We all enjoy the sermon until it hits too close to home and touches on some personal sin that we may have battled with.
That enjoyable sermon is now speaking to things in our own lives that we are not proud of and would rather not think about.
We squirm in our seats and hope that he quickly moves on to another topic.

You all know what I'm talking about. It's hard to come face to face with our own shortcomings, but for any honest Christian, he is capabe of admitting his sins rather then excusing his sin. He will make an effort to improve himself and refrain from what he knows in his heart to be wrong.

When I read the responses from the many anti Christian bigots on this site, I see people sitting in those pews, listening to our debates and arguments (kind of like Sermons),  squirming at their keyboard, no longer enjoying the debate because all of a sudden it hits home. All of  sudden the debate is speaking to your sin! That is when the insecure judgemental anger explodes.

You see, one of the huge differences between Christians and non believers, is the ability of Christians to admit our sins and improve on those sins, verses the non believer's who spend their lives trying to condone and sanction their sins. In the non believer's world, there is no such thing as sin. This is why our culture is falling apart.

When we speak about how the Democrat Party supports No Restriction abortions of viable babies for any reason up to birth, one would think that Democrats would admit how extreme their Party has become, and work to change this extremism by refusing to vote for those who keep the inhumanity legal. They refuse to speak out and spend all their times trying to excuse the inexcusable. They are too insecure and deceptive to admit their sins, and this is what has become of our new political correct no fault culture.

But you see, most non Christians have rejected God's wisdom when it comes to life and sin. They have given themselves over to a humanistic no fault anything goes mentality whose value system shifts with the times. What was once common sense inhumanity is now called "Choice".

What was once the obvious biological union between a man and woman, has become this fixation on a meriad of unnatural sexual orientations, whether gender neutral, Transgender, Transsexual, Homosexual, bisexual, Pedophilia, Necrophilia, etc. etc. etc.
To most non believers, many of these unnatural orientations have become something to sanction as natural and normal because you are too afraid of being labeled phobic for disagreeing. Big Brother is watching don't you know.

The next time you listen to the intolerance from these anti Christians bigots ( who hardy ever create a debate against Islam or Muslims), understand why they are so angry against Christians. The Christian faith makes them squirm when shining a light on their sins or inhumanity.

I think it would do plenty of Christians well to understand what John the Baptist said... "I must become less, so that He becomes more.".

OR what about dying daily to the flesh?

Too many people make it about themselves. It isn't about the self. The first thing people will do when you tell the truth is attack you as a human being. Stand firm that it isn't about you. You are not important. What is important is The Word of God, and that is where you find the faith.

Ask yourselves why Christians are the ones having the character to speak to sin and our own shortcomings.

Ask yourselves why non believers lack the integrity to admit their sins rather than so often excusing their sins.

I don't enjoy sermons in the least. It really does bother me to watch even the most skillful manipulation of people's emotions through hypnotic technique, when I realize what damage it does to society. A good lecture is different, whether scientific or philosophical, or just for learning something new. Speeches can vary considerably.

Have you ever noticed that something very common in sermons is projection? A significant number of evangelists have made it into a business model: I know what you do, because I was the worst...

It always amazes me how many were the worst.

You know what I do? Yeh, people like me have the nerve to speak out against inhumanity!

We have the nerve to defend Special need's children and their right to life. HOW DARE WE SPEAK OUT!

People like you defend the inhumanity of No Restriction abortions.

If you do not see the constant sermons from the Left when it comes to their political correct humanism, you are totally blind!

I would suggest you are still the worst.... your sermons have simply changed to preaching political correct sermons against our most innocent, and their right to life.

You keep prattling on as if it's the only thing you know...even though I've taken you to task multiple times. Not only do I not vote democratic, I have a very specific stance of restriction on abortion - third trimester, or about that time when a fetus can reasonably be defined as a being on its own right - based on viability.

I don't preach sermons. Oh, and I've defended all people's right to life...and quality of life...I speak out against war, and for social programs that help those less fortunate - something the right has regularly opposed me on.

I think you've hit the nail on the end: The reason your debates aren't enjoyable, other than to laugh at you, is because they're not debates but rather sermons.
