You implied that Christians are saying one can commit various sins and say something like "It's okay - just convert on your death bed." Maybe I misunderstood you - but - that is definately NOT what I'm saying. I am saying that if one does truly repent on his death bed then, yes he is a Christian. HOWEVER, I am not condoning a life of sin in the hopes that one will have the opportunity to repent on his death bed. That is reckless and a lifestyle that I would not condone.
Are you really willing to base your entire life on what others think? It really doesn't matter if 90% of the world thinks as you do. Majority rule is not the way we should determine right and wrong thinking. Wasn't there a time when 90% of the world thought the Earth was flat?
