One hour a week is all it takes?

I just read a few answers from Christinans, and the general theme of most of them was 'it's only an hour.' Is that seriously all the time some people spend believing in their faith? Or did I just encounter a high number of the people who sin till Sunday and then restart once service ends?

MK, you weren't the only one that I have heard that from recently.

here is a story I heard once.
A grocer died and got to the pearly gates where St Peter told him he was going to hell. The grocer Complained saying all the Sundays spent in church and all the time he had helped the church, peter asked his name again and looked at his list once more, then said you aren't going to hell because of lack of faith, but because you weren't a good grocer.

If you commit to a practice follow it through in every aspect of your life not just 1 hour a week.

((((((May All Be Safe, And Well))))))

sadly it is a little of both.... that is why the church is in such poor shape it is in now.... i hate to say it but the only way to get the church back like it is supposed to is if Christians all over the world and not just in a few select countries started to get beat, tortured, and killed for their faith, as right now in general people treat Christianity as a comfort then a lifestyle....

I find it very sad that alot of Christians will sin, then go to church thinking it's all okay.

I think it's quite alright to be a good Christian to simply lead a good life, help others when you can, and be a decent person; and not neccesarily go to Church for an hour each Sunday.

You're taking their words out of context.

That was a question where someone asked which would rather do: Communion, Surfing. etc.

One user was saying that "it's only a hour a week" because she wanted to point out that you could surf or do anything like that at another time.

She wasn't saying that just remember Jesus one hour a week.

i do believe the latter. I as a believer see and understand the hypocracy you see as I assume a non believer. Forgive me if I assume incorrectly please. Christ says he will turn away more that claim to know Him than enter into heaven. You're right to assume it's more than a thing to check off of the grocery list for the week.

Be blessed

You have unfortunately encountered "Sunday morning Christians" who are only Christians for that one hour and then live anyway they want the rest of the time. This is not how a true Christian acts. It is a lifelong 24/7 relationship with God.

I don't know about the others, I try my darnedest to not sin, but don't always succeed. I was ranting on how people don't even want to give 1 hour a week to God. They'd rather ignore Him, than spend 1 hour with Him. Sad, isn't it?

that is very sad even an hour a day is not enough it is a full life commitment. if you are putting God in one department like church you do not know him. I think they were a bunch of semi Christians is that.

Faith in Christ is a lifelong committment that changes every aspect of your mind and behaviors.

If you believe anything on yahoo answers you are an idiot ..

Sunday service is just the axis of the week. Worship never stops.

I'll endorse option B.......

This is a question that a lot of us are wondering.
