Lie, cheat, steal, murder, be gay, get a divorce, commit adultery? What? Really? True Christians dont goof up, sometimes fall by the way, back slide into sin? Isnt it possible even a TRUE christian can sometimes mess up, and have to find there way to repentance? Why do people day that? Is that NOT judgung someone? If its true, that TRUR christians dont go against what God says, then a TRUE christian wouldnt judge other Christians right?
Sorry, Im a Christian, I admit I still sin, but even I can see the hypocricy of the statement "A TRUE Christian wouldnt _________(and any sin here)"

""A True Christian wouldnt.......?""
Kid themselves or others that they even think that they are perfect!

Did any of us (the christians on this link) say we are perfect now.. NO we didn't. We sin all the time but a true christian doesn't live in sin. We recognize it repent and forsake it. Someone openly gay living that way day after day lives in their sin. If they would turn from it God would forgive and make them whole, just like all those other sins you talked about..

Yes christians do sin, and know and admit it is a sin, and are normally sorry for what theydo.
So often the person who does not wish thier sin to be considered a sin, but wants mankind to accept thier sin as as merely proper, or even try to pretend God would bless that sin, is where some real issues come up. since no christain would expect God to less lie, cheat, steal, murder, homosexual, adultry and so on.

GOD says not to judge but in paul or peter he explain this, he says call sin for sin as you would the season. Judging is a ruling or out come to say that your not christian because of the sin it is only calling you on your life style im not saying you cant get it right or that your going to hell im just saying that GOD disapproves of your sin. When you stand in front of a jude and he/she disapproves you lose right well try and not let him down not saying to be perfect but dont out rightly just sin because GOD is gracious yes he is he sent his only son to die for us you evn though your going to try and undermine him he still loves you. But sin will still keep you out of heaven if not covered by the blood of Jesus!! Becareful not to fall to stongly on dont judge you miss understood the the scripture im not saying you cant go to heaven but i am saying your sin will prevent that so trully give your life to christ an live for him with your whole life no little games or secret sins GOD knows all BEWARE GOD will call you on all of those if you are not serving him so that he can forgive and forget that is the true love!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me tell you something my friend.
Do you even know what it means to "Judge" another Christian?
I doubt it. I'm so sick of hearing this in here, I could scream.
Let me assure you as a Christian, I can Judge you. How?
1 Cor 5:9 ...2Cor 2;14 ...1John 4:1 ...1Thess 5:21. Just to name a few.
Learn what "Judge" means, before you loosely throw it around.
Have a nice weekend.
It sounds like your on more of a soapbox, than trying to find a answer. The cirumstances you give, is the most critical to the teachings of God's Word itself. Don't try to justify actions by using God's Word to support it.
Mistakes? yes, we all make them. On a GRAND scale? God, will work this out with you, I'm sure.

Jesus used to hang out with theifs and hoes. I think you have to go back to the drawing board babe, People run around saying what Christians should and shouldn't do but Jesus loved us all. He would go to those that others would call UN-clean, he would keep company with those that everyone else would shun.. there is no such thing as true christian, because christianity was created without jesus's permission or desire. is there even a such thing as a true christian or is the whole premise built on lies of the man ?

Wow! You said it yourself - Christians mess up!
"If we say we have no sin, then the truth is not in us, and we deceive ourselves" right? As Paul said.
It is without doubt that those who are saved commit sin, and fall away, and need forgiveness. (constantly).
Isn't that the definiton of what Christ died for?
You can sin but you aren't losing your salvation.
The difference is: we know the forgiveness of Christ never fails - we are human and will mess up and there is no excuse for continued sin but we find grace and are healed by his stripes.
A true Christian wouldn't "sin wiithout knowing God loves him unconditionally and seek and receive his forgiveness."
God Bless You - you are great! God loves your struggle too - it is why he paid our price. Rejoice in that!

I would say a true Christian is constantly struggling. It is human to err. I would also say, it is human to judge and that some "true Christians" strive to be more "god-like". But, don't go crazy over the fact that you are not a "perfect" Christian. You will drive yourself crazy. Remember, you are forgiven.

I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!

I agree and hypocrisy is exactly why i dont go to church. I say my prayers and read the bible , and try to live for God . But i wont go to church because i cant stand the people who think their crap dont stink. I can deal with them out in the world , but at church i have too much respect for the Lord to say anything about it.
