I always feel that they would be thinking bad about me behind their back. I'm sure some gaming friends do that too but we will always have something in common to talk about.
For Christians, ideally that should be about God and Spiritual life, but most of the time talking about religion turns into a nargumentive/defensive mode discussion.
Ony of my friend's childgood friend turned into a Pharisee. Everything also kutuk, everything also say we wrong. Someone meet a female colleage without any real dating relationship (just acquaintances). She accused him of adultery and told every friend of his that he's doing that.
Those people I'm really not keen to meet.
That is happens to Christian who look to the old Testament Law as measuring tape for righteousness.
The Law of God cannot bring righteousness to anyone.
It wasn't designed for that. Anyone who put themselves under the law of God will become very
legalistic Christian and this isn't what Jesus want for the Church. The New Testament took so much effort to explain, the Law of God has been done with, it's obsolete. And yet we have Christian trying to go back to the Law again.
Even today I've seen preachers who preaches erroneous doctrine as indicated above, putting burden of guilt unto people, for example they'll say you must walk righteously before God (duh we are already righteous before God by Faith), Salvation is free but stress so much that it's costly (Duh If Salvation is free, it's free, we can't pay for it).
