we left that change somewhere behind

I’m sorry you’re that upset that some people choose to lead mundane lives after spending so long at war, or fighting for the world.

I’m sorry that the world needs people to live those kinds of lives, JUST as much as it needs people who will stand up and fight for what’s right.

What’s wrong with having kids, btw? That’ll just make these certified bad-asses fight HARDER when the time comes, to defend the world they’ve created. Because their kids… kinda… LIVE in that world, you know. And they care about their children?

In reality, you don't "earn" your way to Heaven by doing good things. Ephesians 2:8-9 is pretty clear about it; "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast."

Someone in my life once jokingly said that they'd never go to church because they'd burst into flames the moment they walked through the door.

Church is full of sinners. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". Romans 3:23. Church is not supposed to the gathering of those "worthy" enough to worship God. Christianity is for everyone, no matter who you are or what sins you've done because all of us are the same before God until we accept Jesus' sacrifice and ask repentance.

But this is also a good reminder for us Christians to reflect Jesus to the people in our lives so they understand that He is there for everyone not just people who do enough good deeds.

"There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Galatians 3:28
