  • Christianity isn’t about doing what you want- it’s about how Christ needed to die because we cannot follow these rules. I think someone who thinks they are a “good Christian” is already making the mistake in thinking that.

    Luke 18:19

    And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.

    1 John 1:8

    If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.


  • Depends on the flavour of conservativism. In some ways Christianity is pretty conservative (Like sexual abd gender dynamics: Women cannot be in ecclesial authority over men, sex is between a married man and a woman, remarriage isn’t allowed, divorce is frowned upon) but can also be pretty socialist (You shouldn’t be rich, give money to the poor, the Church should be collectively helping each other, literally forgive everyone and give all you have to the poor).

    Although, the fact that nobody seems to be able to follow this perfectly illustrates the entire point on why Jesus had to die. I don’t see how people don’t realise this.
