Let's go back to the "good old days."
I feel as if God has been stirring me in powerful ways lately. I love Christ, and believe in him with all my heart. I am part of a forum that has one select what faith they are, and by that you get to post in certain sections and are disallowed from posting in others. Yet it says that the purpose is to unite all Christians as one body. How does seperating us make us united? I am thinking of declaring myself "other religion" in protest. If what I see there is what Christianity is becoming, then I do not want any part of this movement.
I want to go back to what Christianity used to be. I want to go back to the home churches, where people met simply out of joy and love for discussing and studying Christ. I want to go back to the days where we didn't believe that God could both be loving and send people to eternal torment for one sin. I want to go back to the time where we as Christians would live the love of Christ and "They [would] know we are Christians by our love," not because we are trying to force our beliefs on them by telling them they're on a one-way train to hell. I want to go back to the days where our main concerns were helping the "least of these" and being peacemakers and loving our neighbors as ourselves.
I want to make a change. But how do I go about it? Where do I start?

As a former church-goer, I can say that you will find answers to your questions by living with people who are not christians.
It's a long process but it's worth it.

Well, I'm starting that now.

I found a quote by Mark Twain that expresses perfectly how I feel.
"If Jesus came back today, the last thing he would be is a Christian."
