Why Are Most People Not Christians? by Depsui(m): 12:47pm On Mar 12, 2023
I believe it's majorly the fault of Christians. We have attached too much wrong doctrines to the message of salvation and turned the good news to bad news for a lot of people.

The requirement for salvation is simple: believe in Jesus Christ and confess Him as your Lord and saviour.

But we've added church attendance, live a holy life, pay tithes and offerings (which are all good things). And we've diluted the gospel and rendered it powerless.

Church attendance, reading the Bible loving holy are all good and important for spiritual growth but it has nothing to do with salvation or making heaven. They will help you to live a good life on earth but they can't get you saved or take you to heaven.

Please, let's preach salvation as a free gift of God and not something that has to be attained by works or loving holy.

1. You forgot the major requirement which is that one has to be of the blood of Jacob in order to even qualify to have Jesus Christ- Matthew 15 vs 22 - 24 & Matthew 10 vs 3 - 6 & Matthew 7 vs 6. According to Jesus Christ, you sin against Him when you offer the Gospel -- that which which Holy--- to the non-Israelites out there. undecided

2. Your churchians and your numerous churches, along your many religious rituals, have absolutely nothing to do with Jesus Christ. undecided

3. Also, the lies you preach, the doctrines and traditions of men which Jesus Christ instead warned His followers to steer clear of, equaly have nothing to do with the Truth of God. undecided
