» Brian Tubbs - Displays The Point

Pink, you are wrong yet again. I can't speak for all the other evangelicals out there, but I preach about Jesus coming against the status quo - and I preach that frequently!

And you're wrong that evangelicals teach that people are worthless! I teach that our DEEDS are worthless in the sight of God, but then again that's what PAUL wrote: "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23) And it's what Isaiah said: "All our righteousness are as filthy rags" (Isa 64:6) So...these teachings about our sins causing us to fall short of God's glory are CONSISTENT with Scripture.

However, this does not mean that WE as PEOPLE are worthless. God forbid that ANY preacher would EVER say that!!!!!!!!!!!!! If the Bible is clear on anything, it's clear that God LOVES us! Paul writes that God loved us "while we were yet sinners" (Romans 5:8) and Jesus told Nicodemus that "God so loved the world" which is why he (Jesus) was sent. (John 3:16)

So....we ARE valuable in the sight of God, but we are still sinners. And that's why Jesus was sent!
