fundamentalist

I always believe that Christianity should be fun. It should be joyful and contagious like a child's laugh but when you mix it with fundamentalism it starts to lose its joy. Fundamentalists in the whole keep to the word of God but they tend to add a rule here and a rule there until you are carrying a heavy burden. Most of them have a tattoo of St Paul on their backs and he has become their inspiration, not Christ. I am sure most of them would deny and want nothing to do with Christ if they saw him today eating and drinking with the sinners of this modern world. Yet that is were we see Christ. We see Christ in places that most of us would not enter but again that is were the lost are. In the very places we dare not enter. Sure some may say "only a fool goes where angels fear to dread" but we can all use the Bible to hide away in our safe places.

We see Christ at a well talking to a lone female. I wonder how many would frown upon that. "What a single man talking to a female alone"
Fundamentalist churches invite you in and then start to change you. Tell you what to wear, what to read, how to behave etc etc. They pour Scripture on you like hot coals but they forget that they have feet of clay.

There are many in this world who will say you are not a "good" Christian because you don't follow their ways but the truth is Christ said a Christian is someone that follows Him.
Paul has his place but not above Christ
