Ok, first of all, it's pretty unfair to lump all Christians into one big pile by saying "oh, they all do this" or "they're all like that". That's just as wrong as saying that all black people are thugs, or all white people lack rhythm. Yes, there are some people who claim to be Christian, but who really have the wrong idea. Do you want to know how to really tell if someone's really a Christian? Look at how they live when no one's watching. A real Christian will want to make sure that he's living his life as an active demonstration of worship to his God. If someone who claims to be a Christian and lives that way, then you've just witnessed the real thing. Some zealot who walks around, throwing Scripture in everybody's face, but lives a life contrary to God's standards isn't the best example of Christianity. I'm not saying that somebody who tries to live that life but can't isn't a Christian, because no human being can do it on their own. I'm saying that someone who claims to be a Christian, but doesn't even try to live remotely in the same direction calls down some serious doubt on their testimony.
Oh. In case you haven't figured it out, yes I am a Christian and I am trying desperately to live that way.

Hence my first post describing hypocrites. Besides that, do you really know what makes a real Christian? Before you can judge us do you know any of the Christian merits? What do you really percieve a CHristian to be? Please don't refer to the tele evangelist or Benny Hinn. I'm talking a Christian that you see on a daily basis. Really, if you want to find a real Christian listen to them talk. The abundance of the heart will flow out of the mouth. If they say weird things, you shouldn't even take them seriously as a real Christian.

Here's a tip: If they go around killing people to bring back/redeem a dead relative, they're probably not a christian. xp

Untamed Toast t0paz Untamed Toast Not necessarily. Some people are just homophobes..but haven't I been saying the WHOLE time that Christians that bash other people have faulty logic? The True Christian way is love no matter what. The 2 most important commandments are Love thy neighbor and love God with your whole heart. i love my neighbor biggrin
