Should hypocritical Christians keep us from seeking the truth?

Seek first the kingdom of heaven and then all things will follow. You need to know what God says about you that way you can distinguish a lie from the truth. There's alot of distractions out there let his word be your guide and navigate the lies by his spirit.

How do you know?

Frank, love you! One suggestion to add to your message: We should want to be Christians bc God can help us become the people He truly intended us to be. He can do great healing in our lives so that we can flourish.

Will you recognize the truth if you find it?

Valuable until the afterlife….. Then garbage.

Jesus is the Vine and we are the branches. John 15:1-11

America took God out of schools that was the first mistake now we took God out of everything and the devil swept right on in that’s what started America down fall

If the wages of sin is death, how can sinners live eternally. Furthermore, if the gift of God is eternal life, does this mean that sinners are also receiving this gift from God when they live eternally in hell?

This is good answer, but one thing raises questions. "All people live eternally". How? Only God gives life and bible says: "For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing." And if they are separated from source of life - God, how they can live eternally?

Hypocritical or Bereans?

Frank, you are gonna love yanking and banking in prison.

You must repent from sin if you want eternal life with Jesus. Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior out loud and for God sake repent. Turn from sin and ask forgiveness. It’s not enough to just say I’m a Christian. You must repent.

When people worry about what other people think that’s of the Devil he wants people to judge because he knows the Bible says not to judge

I wish you would seek truth starting from zero. Assume there is nothing. Then examine your beliefs through that framework. Does this world make more sense if there was a god, or if there was no god. Critical thinking will lead you to the latter.

It's sad, very sad, that for many people, the top reason they do become a Christian is because of other Christians. Too many of us (I'm included, unfortunately), do not represent Christ well.

The wages of sin is death eternal life is only for the righteous

Even Pharisees are made in the image of God. We are all flawed. Getting to know God is a lifelong process, full of mistakes, like judging others. Resist the temptation to judge those who you think are judging you. The only judge who matters is Jesus.

Amen

Never- keep your eyes on Jesus
