Not pertaining to any individual person or persons here on this board specifically, I believe you make a very good point above sir. Some followers of Jesus choose not to ‘belong’ to a hostile and quarrelsome, disputatious and deservedly infamous group.
A lotta people have quit being a ‘Christian.’ They’re out. They remain committed to Jesus but not to being ‘Christian’ or to being part of organized Christianity. Their faith in Jesus is still central to their lives, and being an optimistic believer in a universe created and sustained by a loving God is crucial to them. But following Jesus does not mean following His followers. Jesus is infinitely more important than Christianity and always will be, no matter what Christianity is, has been, or might become. Their commitment to Jesus remains at the heart and center of their lives, and transformation in Him is ongoing and radical. Some simply feel called to be an outsider for Him, to step away from the words “Christian” and “Christianity,” it’s something that their conscience pretty much demands of them.
You got it………others don’t/won’t see it.
