Bible Question: Ok, my question is more about Church than the Bible: Why is it that the overwhelming majority of born again Christians come across as strange and brainwashed? This is not definately not always true and it is very refreshing and apprieciated when you meet a born-again Christian who comes across as a normal person. I think that many non-Christians in the world would without question consider converting if it wasn't for these slightly wierd people. I think that there are many people who are interested in learning more but get put off by these people. Sorry if I have offended anyone, can anyone help? |
Bible Answer: 1 Peter 2:9 (NASB) But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; (ESV) But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, A PEOPLE FOR HIS OWN POSSESSION, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. (NIV) But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, A PEOPLE BELONGING TO GOD, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Holman Christian Standard Bible But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, A PEOPLE FOR HIS POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the praises of the One who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
