their lives (?)
I've often wondered this question
It's like people don't make the most of what they have while they're alive because they think they're going to a better place
I would have a more fun life if I was not Church of Christ. I would be partying and sleeping around a lot and maybe even making more money if I was not Church of Christ. i would be going to bars a lot if I was not a Christian. I would of gotten a higher paying college degree if I was not Church of Christ.
Apart from the sleeping around, I think there are loopholes in scripture for those things. But I suppose the denomination leaders lay their own interpretations on the flock. Still, they could be wrong. Christian opinion is divided on wealth and alcohol, and even partying if it's not too naughty. There's that water-to-wine thing that was done at a wedding party. If your ethos doesn't match the C of C's, why not shop around? Scripture doesn't specify which brand of Christianity is the right one. As for sleeping around, I think there are some strong logical and psychological reasons to avoid that, especially as you get older, so you're not missing much. Well, you are, but I think you'd regret it in the long term.
What loopholes are you referring to? Well I agree with most of the Church of Christ theology so I dont think leaving it for another denomination would be the right thing to do.
