First, her thought process as she embraced Christianity and, second, the comments that it has generated - some welcoming and others almost hostile.

I don't understand -- Christianity is an extremely liberal religion. There's absolutely nothing remarkable about a liberal professing Christian faith.[/quote]

Christianity is based on the premise that nobody is good but God.  It is entirely personal.  The proof is how much time and effort we spend personally helping and thinking of others (not family members) compared to ourselves.  That is a embarrassing ratio for me and everybody I know of.  I'm sure it will be brought up at the judgement.[/quote]

I don't think you understand Christianity at all. You certainly haven't demonstrated an understanding of the tenets here. Why are you commenting at all about things you know nothing about? If you wish to learn more, you're welcome on Sunday morning. But you're embarrassing yourself with this post.[/quote]

Matthew 19:16-22New King James Version (NKJV)

Jesus Counsels the Rich Young Ruler

16 Now behold, one came and said to Him, “Good[a] Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?”

17 So He said to him, “Why do you call Me good?[b] No one is good but One, that is, God.[c] But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

18 He said to Him, “Which ones?”

Jesus said, “‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not bear false witness,’  19 ‘Honor your father and your mother,’[d] and, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ ”[e]

20 The young man said to Him, “All these things I have kept from my youth.[f] What do I still lack?”

21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
