I'm not sure I would.
I like diversity.

i dunno. If Jesus -saved- the whole, wide world today (or...tomorrow, I'm patient...), then things would be -awesome- . thing is...
"becoming a Christian" is no guarantee of any positive changes. religion makes good people better, and bad people worse.
Somehow, "Christian" has become synonymous with authoritarian, dogmatic, and potentially fascist. true in the US (shudder), true in Brazil and some other nations, too. :-(
so, I dunno. lol. THE END.

Yes, I would like to see a converted world!
By diversity from Christianity...you mean evil.
That is not something to "like".

Becoming Christian IS a guarantee of change for the better.
Walking after the Spirit, instead of after the flesh, guarantees a life focused on the giver of the ways to an eventual perfect paradise.
Those still walking after the flesh are not Christians.
Only if there is no more religion that divides us.
Guess I meant Christian in name. Not necessarily in virtue or behaviour.
Exactly right. There still would be huge division. Think of all the anti Catholicism there is for a start.
Not sure exactly what that means. If it means sinners, we all remain sinners until we die. Whether we are Christian or not.
So all Buddhists and Muslims are evil?
That kind of thinking causes war.
Because there is some truth in it. The people who are only Christian in name.
I would add "tunnel vision" to that list
How does one determine that they are Christians?
Doesn't coming to an agreement on issues of difference prove love of/for God? Like Paul and the council at Jerusalem?

Thank God that after our death with Jesus Christ, and our burial with Him, that we can be raised with Christ to walk in newness of life. (Rom 6:4)
Rebirth!!!
Those reborn of God's seed do not commit sin. (1 John 3:9-10)
I agree, but it is their war against God that really matters.
Christians don't war with anybody, as we are told to pray for our enemies. (Matt 5:43-48)
Belief without obedience is the ultimate in unChristian behavior.

If i could obey God i would, but i need Gods grace and mercy through Christ. I cannot live up to Gods expectations. I accept and thank Christ for what he has done for me. That does not mean i dont care about sin, just i cannot live up to Gods standard. If i could then i would not need his grace and mercy. I still need it.
Spiritual battle, i always do what i do not want to do.

I get you. Sometimes I think he is a tough task master. The benchmark is too high.
But on the other hand, maybe I look at God the wrong way. Maybe he appreciates small steps. Small efforts. Humble attitude.
Your post reveals a humble attitude. You aren't always humble but neither am I. But both of us show occasional glimpses of real humility.
It's not a contest. To see who scores the least sins. It's about attitude, not results.
Give others a break. Give ourselves a break. And just hang in there.
