Christians, are we being good examples?

Question

We may be the only representatives of Christ some people may see, but some of us come across very angry and judgemental. How is that going to win any souls?

Answer 1

Jesus was more angry with the "religious" people of His day than those who did not know Him.

You're right, we need to love others. That's how people will know us, by our love. For each other and for others.

We don't have to have the right answers all the time. Jesus asked more questions than gave answers, so He'd probably be minus 500 points or something on this.

Answer 2

I do the best I can. It is still hard not to get angry when I see people saying awful things about Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I also try not to judge. But, I call it as I see it. If someone asked a question, I am going to answer that question honestly. Hey, they asked. And our job is not to "win" souls. It is not our job to convert people. We are to plant the seed only. There are people that will reject every single thing that is said to them. They have already made up their minds. Unfortunately, it talks about these people in the bible too. Some of these people will never accept Christ, even after the rapture and during the tribulation because their hearts are/will be hardened. Sad, I know. Have a great day.

Answer 3

Its not, The problem that yall have is that so many so called "christians" who think they are living the way they are "supposed to" go to church on sunday, profess a great deal of religous conviction during the week, and when someone needs help, or doesnt meet up with society's or their view of how they should be living, yall chastise the hell outta folks, dont help them, or plain just turn your back on them. I am so sick of organized religion its not funny.

I have met enough holy rollers who profess to be your "friend" and when the chips are really down and you need help, they find other things to do. If someone tells me that they are a "christian" I immediately become suspicious of them and wont trust anything they say, let alone do.

If you want to try and live your life as some say is in the bible.. then preaching at folks, and screaming your lungs out in church ISNT the way to do it. Living your life so that you set the examples by your deeds instead of your words is how you impress people. You can preach all you want, but I believe what I see with my own eyes.

My heart leads me down my path. I do what I feel is right within my own soul and dont worry about anything anyone else says I should or shouldnt do. They dont clothe me, feed me, care for me, so why should I let them try and dictate how my life should be led???

The saying "take time to stop and smell the roses" has more truth to it than most preachers say in a life time. You want to learn how to impress someone, go out into the country, away from all the two-leggeds noise and hustle and bustle, and sit and watch and listen. Nature has a way of telling us what is missing in life, as well as reminding us that we are but a small insignificant part of the whole equation.

Just my two cents worth,

Peace and Fair Journeys

Answer 4

well its not. there are many hypocrites in the world. in just about every group even religion. that is why this generation of young adults and teens do not need to follow in the foot steps of the others that are. we need pick those people out who are judgemental and learn from them mistakes for us to better so we can help other people. christians just needs to learn how to work on tempatations and actually living by the word to lead a good example. sometimes it can be hard though. just to let everyone not all christians are judgemental or hyprocrites. however everyone will always sin.

Answer 5

Some may not understand that Jesus taught the whole counsel of God and not just what people wanted to hear. It is the Word of God that saves. People are unloving that do not teach what the Bible truly says and sugar coat it with a social gospel. Do you realize that people are dying without Christ because churches are afraid to offend people. there are Christian churches out there that will not tell people that there is a hell and if people don't accept Jesus Christ as their Saviour that they will go there. Jesus taught them that. He taught just as much about judgement as He did about love. May God help us to open our mouths and teach a gospel that not only tells why Jesus came to save them because He didn't creat Hell for people and that He is not willing that any should perish but that all shall come to repentance.
If they chose to reject Christ they are condemned already.

Look what have stood by and allowed to happen, Kids can't talk about him public school's anymore, the pledge is hardly said anymore, due to it saying "under God", 10 commenent's have been taking out. And then u got some ppl that sit's around and wonder's y this world is goin to hell.

Answer 9

I'm not, but I don't really care. I don't do things to make other people happy. And I not trying to win souls. Everyone should make their own choice, don't base them on what others do or don't do.

Answer 10

When you are judging people and not giving them a chance to show them the "light" you are not a good example.


I have yet to meet a good example.Everyone I have met was to quick to judge and never cared about why I felt the way I did.
