São alguns cristãos ateus na sua vida prática ?

" Away with the Atheists!

The Romans accused the early Christians of many crimes, including cannibalism (because of a misinterpretation of the Eucharist), incest, (because Christians called each other "brother" and "sister"), causing natural disasters by angering the gods, disloyalty to family, and a lack of patriotism. One accusation that sounds surprising today is the charge of atheism. The Roman world believed in many gods, who were represented by statues. The Christians believed in one invisible God and refused to worship the Roman gods, so the Romans considered them "athiests."

This confusion led to an ironic moment when Polycarp, the elderly bishop of Smyrna, was brought into the arena for questioning. The proconsul commanded him to say, "Away with the atheists"—referring to the Christians. Turning the command on its head, Polycarp pointed at the jeering mom and cried out as instructed, "Away with the atheists!"

EM COMEMORAÇÃO DOS 120 DOS BAPTISTA EM PORTUGAL

Recentemente um lider baptista, em Portugal, disse o seguinte: " Em termos prácticos, até temos vergonha das nossas igrejas.
A maioria das pessoas hesita em trazer um amigo a um culto aos domingos pois sabe bem que o tal amigo não achará relevante a experiência. "

Será verdade ? se assim for temos de nos envergonhar é do nosso estilo de vida e arrepiar caminho...qd não é JESUS CRISTO que terá de se envergonhar de nós qd vier á terra pela 2ª e última vez
