most of them speaks with sugar coated, claimed to be born again, by the time you come closer, you will discover that it is mere words of mouth - cheat, deceive, name it - what do you say?

Many people say they are Christians, but have never Truly been saved by the Grace of God. When God saved me, i became a new person. You will no longer enjoy sin, or being around it. You want to live your life pleasing to the Lord. You go to church, you read your Bible, you pray. You seek God for the will of your life. You put your Faith and Trust in Him. You go out and tell others about Jesus, and how to be saved. You live a separate life from this world. You love everybody, and God gives you peace. We are to let our light shine for Jesus.

What I have noticed in y own life is that when I am going against what I know to be my own inner truths I am out of alignment with the Universe. And when I am following any super strict guidelines I start to rebel. So it is in christianity. First off they are teaching lies right from the pulpit. You dont need a prophet to "save" you. We are each connected to the divine already & can communicate with the Lord & Lady without anyone interceding. But if they taught that they would lose $$$. Most christians believe whole heartedly in what the bible says word for word without ever questioning the natural way of things and why the bible goes against it. So in reality THEY dont know how to be a true christian. Jesus's teachings are VERY different from how the church does things. He did not teach to brain wash, lie, cheat & steal, but yet the church does it every day. More people have been killed in the name of Christ than any war we have ever had!!! Jesus must be apalled that his teachings have gone so astray. Anyway, I believe that if people would stop being sheeps & just start questioning their priests they could sort out what is true or not & take the good teachings & poo poo the bad ones & spend a little more time in meditation then they might start understanding their faith a little more & be open to others who have a different faith, but realize it is helping that person live a better life so appriciate that instead of condem it.

Guess what. Nobody is perfect. You can be Christian and still make mistakes. Most people think that when a person is religious, that means they are no longer human and can't mess up occasionally.
I am not a Christian. I am a Pagan High Priestess, but I make mistakes just like everyone else. But because I am religious and because I am clergy, people notice when I slip ten times more than the average person.
The important thing is admitting when you're wrong and trying to be a good person.

1st Corinthians 11:14 I'm not necessarily talking about one particular person , but some people use the cloak of goodness to wrap themselves up to conceal themselves . Haven't you ever heard the old saying , a lie is best hidden between two truths ? God bless you .

Unfortunately, you're right. As Christains, we often tend to set a poor example. Just remember Christains are people too, and we're just as imperfect as everyone else. We are certainly not better or above anyone, and those who claim to be are sadly mistaken. But there is a real and perfect God who loves and forgives us. He also heals us and sets us free.
As humans we all tend to focus on ourselves, and most people seek God for what He can do for them (make them better people, etc.). The result is often self-righteous, judgmental, unloving, Christains. But those who grow out of that and learn to love God for who He is and put Him before themselves begin to look and act more like Jesus (who really does love others, and doesn't act like "us Christains") No one is completely there yet. Many will never even try, and those who do will make plenty of mistakes along the way. It's a growth process. That's why the Bible tells us to be patient with one another and love one another. Jesus also said , "Forgive others as your Father has forgiven you." So in the same way, please forgive Christains as well.
Also you can't rely on any person to be perfect. Everyone will make mistakes and disappoint you. But God is not like people. He really is perfect and His love is unfailing. Those who put their trust in Him will never regret it.
Many blessings.

It is because, Christian relegion is the culmination of wrong interpretation of Bible. Christian interpretation of New testament and Bible from A to Z is wrong. Remember Jesus commanded his decisples that they should tell no one that he was Jesus the Christ Mt.16:20. But what the christians are doing, by preaching Jesus is the Christ they are disobeying jesus or they deny Jesus.
Christianity project Jesus as the prince of peace. But hear what Jesus says about his mission? Jesus syas " Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword." Christian teaching is just opposite to what Jesus preached. If you want to know more about real jesus write to me, I shall answer your questions.

OOOH, you are just dying to start an arguement, aren't you? Believe what you believe, and leave everyone alone. I am Athiest, but I don't make comments about anyones' religion. And I expect the same treatment in return!

First - we're all sinners.
Second - Because of the tyranny of relativism we have people basically inventing their own new religions daily. They don't like like Church Christ founded, or some of it's precepts, so they create an imaginary one.

I say you are correct. Claiming to be a true christian is just another lie they can add to their list of sins.
