[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People are born bad.  We are not good and don't let your feelings cloud the fact that we are all "me first". Could you imagine a child raised with absolutely no parent contact to teach right and wrong?  Most of right and wrong we believe is based on having a civil society and making us comfortable not being moral . It's like loving your children... We love them because we get a reward too... We don't love others children. 
Once you understand that we all are bad you can understand why Christ was sacrificed . We are in a dire situation but God has given us a free gift.  We just have to admit we are bad and accept the gift ... We don't have to do anything else. Most people don't think they need the gift because they think they are "good people ", lol ... Like " I'm good .. I recycle ". Once you come to grips with the fact that you and everybody else is bad it all comes together. Btw .. If your church is pushing you away just find a small group to read the bible and discuss deep matters made up of people you can trust. Even just one other is fine and quit that other church.

That sounds so depressing!

It's actually liberating. The whole myth that people are inherently good is exhausting. It's not like we are monsters we have good qualities but we are most definately "me first" at the root of everything.[/quote]
