The View From Ninety-Two

For those who claim Christ, disregarding the Bible as merely a collection of fictional stories most certainly facilitates a shallow "faith" characterized, at best, as merely ceremonial. This position allows the individual to embrace stories that support their brand of self-righteousness while discarding those that offer challenges to that position. Their motive is highly selfish in that personal image is of highest concern, not realizing (or caring) that their brand of Christianity turns non-believers further from God and prepares the way for believers to stumble, or even fall away. They have an appearance of righteousness, but deny the power of Christ that could produce true holiness in their lives.
