Is there such a thing as a "Worldly Christian"?

@Blitz Umm, you were very confusing. What verse should I finish? References?

Note, people who fight for freedom don't fight for themselves, but their children and their wives and others. 

Of course. No one ever fights for themselves. Anyone can do anything so long as its under the banner of protecting their wife and children. Ever heard of someone loving Jesus more than his family? #shock. No one DARES to something like that. How utterly ridiculous. Oh no. If I am dragged into the Roman Colosseum and my family is threatened to be torn to pieces by animals unless I deny Christ, I must certainly deny Him, because I HAVE to protect my family. 

Protect your family from what Blitz? Evil? Pain? It's going to come to them either way. It's all part of this world. 

Oh and by the way the Bible also says that he that doesn't care for his family is worse than an infidel.

My Bible tells me that anyone who does not provide for his family's needs is worse than an infidel. I don't see anything about killing others to protect them. Also Jesus says that if you don't obey His commands, you don't love Him. 

So, you choose some bad things, and apply them to "the world."

So if bad things aren't apart of the World, are they apart of God's Kingdom? It's one or the other. 

What if the World suddenly decides that Pacifism is the best thing ever, and everyone decides on this? 

Would they be doing it because they want to, or because Jesus commanded it? #difference

I mean, you do know non-Christians can do good, right (take Kait for an example)?

Umm, this seems like a trick question. I do believe truly good, holy, and righteous things are only done through Christ and His will. Anything outside of that you have someone trying to do good in their own flesh, and it defeats the purpose. Of course anyone can be merciful and compassionate and show kindness to others and those are things that come from God. So it's good. Two ways to look at this, I suppose. 

Or are you too much of a Calvanist to admit that? 

In what ways am I Calvinist?  Shocked 


Maybe the "ways of the flesh" would be a better example or definition.

Maybe so.
