Are Christians becoming so obsessed with morality that they are ignoring compassion?

A few examples of this are the recent controversies involving nude pictures of children as opposed to the children in our society who don't have sufficient warm clothing. (A comment I put on another post).

I hear Christians saying how dreadful it is to have the Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras, but I see little compassion from Christians in regards to gay bashings and AIDS.

Then we have all sorts of scandals in the church involving people in positions of leadership committing adultery and abusing children.

Have Christians got their priorities wrong?

Dear Steel Mann,

I can only speak from my observances of
the Catholic Church. It unfortunately
does not display much compassion. It
excludes...

It's leaders speak about morality. But
this modern world needs more than just
words.

As I wrote in another post, it's all very well
to espouse the importance of God. But it's
exclusion to talk only about
the "One True God."

The same goes for carrying on traditions of caring,
love, honesty, decency, justice, a fair go.
Speaking about these things,is not enough,
especially when the Church
chooses to exclude those that may really need them.

Talking about morality, and not living it -
is something that the Church needs to address,
and quickly, if it wants to keep the hundreds of
thousands of young adults that it is attracting
to World Youth Day in Sydney.

These young adults will not stay long term -
if words don't lead to actions by the Church.

All the way through the Holy Bible we are told not to engage homosexual behaviour, magic, drunkenness, etc right up to the very end of John's Revelation e.g. verse 21:8.
Obeying Gods Commandments is not at all showing a lack of compassion. Our compassion is to point all men and women, lead them in prayer, to Jesus as their Saviour and to repentence of their sin so they dont get the adverse Judgment after death.

Compassion yes...but obey just the same.
Good Bible-believing christians hate watered down doctrine.

In the last couple of years there was an incident in Saudi Arabia where a girl's school was on fire, and many of the girls were killed when they were ordered back into the burning building because they weren't appropriately dressed according to Muslim custom. This incident horrified the Western world, and probably a lot of Muslims as well. My concern is that there are Christians who are just as bad.

Gibo, Christian morals are for Christians to adhere to. Christ never commanded us to force our moral standards on anyone. He commanded us to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. My attitude is that when my life is perfect, without sin, then I can throw stones.
It was religious people that had the most problems with Jesus. The Pharasees in the Bible were not intentionally evil people. They actually had a desire to serve God. They could be compared to today's fundamentalist Christians such as Fred Nile.

I liked the way the apostle Paul spoke to the Corintians about their many false Gods. They even had an alter to an unknown god. Paul used wisdon here and decided the unknown God was the one he needed to tell them about.

christ would be crying

well
we could nationalise 'big oil [and big pharma
to free up our childrens minds
[then join the suppressed research to gether [AND HEAL THE WORLD}

but we wont [cause we cant]
because we arnt allowed to see the big picture
[because of privatised proffit's]

we are spending billions subsidising these multinationals with our taxes [every week ]

billions spent pills and potions that dont cure us
clearly big BUISNESS lobby is paid to stay on top of this info
to ridicule it where they can
or suppress it where they cant

but for the alternative of [free] energy
that is based on science

that your regular scientists are forbidden to explore
that of which you speak is thus unspeakable
so

[why are they controlled and owned by the same cartel's"]

[and are making us sicker ,by treating the symptom
[BUT NEVER actually even allowed to cure THE DISEASE]
why
because they have an active lobby
YOU have LET special decievers buy out govt AND MEDIA

Youre lukewarm Steel Mann.
Youre happy to love thy neighbour but not obey The Lords Commandments not to sin.
I'll talk to you again when youre on fire... fully... for The Lord and His Holy Bible and all it says...and have taken youre willy out of the wind.
Nudist christians count for nothing.
Dont pick on Fred Nile either...he's the best politician we've had in decades.
About the only one who stands up for holiness...anywhere.
