Questions

why is it so hard to express love?

why is it so easy to default to anger?

why do the ones we love the most end up being hurt the worst by us?

why do most people think that the world revolves around them?

why is a nation founded on Godly principles so bent on removing God from all public views?

why do we as christians not stand up for what is right to someone besides those in our church?

why do we not proclaim the goodness and grace of God to everyone we meet?

why is it easier to talk to someone you have never met on the internet about Jesus than those we see and work with every day?

why, if we are not ashamed of the gospel(romans 1:16), do we tend to act like it?

when did it become so wrong to have judeo-christian morals as a foundation of living?



just some thoughts
answers?

1. To express love you have to leave yourself wide open, and a lot of times you get kicked in the teeth.
2. It doesn't take any thought or practice to just let it go, any infant can do it.
3. They trust us and have let down all their defenses, so when we hurt them, it hits their heart first with no buffer.
4. SELFISHNESS, the root of all sin in my opinion. Some don't consider that other people are living a life just like I am, with cares and needs.(and they just don't care)
5. In an effort to be politically correct, we have given the minority their way, it doesn't matter what the majority wants any more as long as that one person is taken care of.
6. God give us all free-will to chose what they want to believe, that is a right that don't have the right to dismiss, but that doesn't mean we can't care about everyone and listen and share the good news when we get the opportunity.
7. A lot of people think we are full of it, they don't have faith, it's doesn't just unfold like they want to see it. It takes faith, they can't see or feel anything so it doesn't exist. We don't want for people to think of us like the Jehovah's Witness. 
8. On the internet you can finish a thought without being interrupted or being stopped a told your wrong.
9. For me it's the fact that I don't understand enough of it to truly talk about it. If someone has a question or brings up something, I can't find verses when I need them or I don't know what there talking about.
10. It's not wrong, most of our laws are based on those morals even if some don't want to admit it. Where did you hear it was wrong to kill someone or steal something, first? The Bible.

It's not that i think that they save me or anyone else.  They do, however, establish a golden rule type of thinking when dealing with people outside of my own self.  Many of the people I come in contact with are only looking out for themself and will do anything that they can to achieve thier own purpose.  Maybe wrong was the incorrect word to use.  Perhaps backward is more in the direction I was thinking.  Thanks for the comment all the same.  Bless You
