we as Christians are supposed to show the love of Christ, not slander others. i saw 1 question that really wasn't a question, it called us as Christians retards. when i read the answers to that statement i was more hurt by them then i was the statment. grow up brothers and sisters live the life God called us to live. i was prepared for the attack because Jesus said they will persucute you because they persucuted me, but the responses were unnessecary and ungodly. You give us a bad rap when you do that. live the life of Christ because Christian means "Little Christ" did you know that? would you please take a step back and look at how you respond to those who may not known Him and also those who we can call brothers and sisters?

Amen, sister...!
However...remember we as Christians are only to be meek, gentle, kind, long-suffering when we are dealing with family, friends, people in general...
BUT when dealing with the enemy (spirit) we are to be Warriors and Soldiers for Christ!
Read Psalm 5...and 58:6-11 Pray that over the enemy (spirit) not flesh...God still rocks today!!!
Nothing in those passages shows me a meek God. I love that about Him...He is as mighty as a Lion and meek as a lamb.
Grace to you and God Bless

Dear Daddys girl,
I so understand your frustrations and even share them.
However , we must remember that we are all in a process.
Some have not matured yet, and we must have the same
tolerance and longsuffering for those brothers and sisters
as we do for those lost. They too need to be told the truth in
love. For even if a member is weak members need the Lord.
1Cr 12:22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:1Cr 12:23 And those [members] of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely [parts] have more abundant comeliness 1Cr 12:24 For our comely [parts] have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that [part] which lacked: 1Cr 12:25 That there should be no schism in the body; but [that] the members should have the same care one for another. 1Cr 12:26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 1Cr 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
Continue to let your light shine around others and maybe it will rub off on them.

It can be very hard at times to live out the difference between love your enemies (the people) and resisting evil (the lie the person is putting forth. In Today's world especially there is a real attempt to tie as one the person and their ideas. Like the line if you love me you would accept me the way I am. Jesus died on the cross not because he loved our sin (which is essentially a slap in His face anyway) but because he loved us. If my son became a drug addict I would love him and hate the addiction. If my son joined a religion that denied the Bible, I would love him and hate the lies he choose to believe. Unfortunately sometimes those in the church forget this truth. Usually those who are not in the church refuse to believe it is possible to Love the sinner yet hate the Sin. Why not after all it is what God does for all of us.

You can't! You're absolutely right, and I love how you worded this question. Sadly, the more judgemental and poopy we become about ourselves, the more harm we do to others. Look at how people were fooled into electing a 'moral' party into power, simply because a flag, a cross and gay marriage was waved in their faces. Look at what we have now! Our moral party has made the largest cuts in benefits to the poor, the disabled, the elderly and to orphaned children that have EVER been made, and have given more breaks to corporations than ANY administration EVER! And sadly, many of them will be re-elected because again they will wave a cross, a flag, and throw out a little fearmongering toward gay people. Shame on them, and shame on us for being fooled! Jesus was not a conservative republican - he was a liberal, and a rebel!

I do not freak out when opposition comes my way. I just look at the person and say God loves you. He gives us all a choice/ We are not forced to believe. The true belief comes from inside. That is one of the reasons this is such a great country, we can go to bed at night and sleep in peace. we know that the Government is not going to come take us in the middle of the night for our beliefs. Know one can give us a bad rap for our belief in Christ the Savior. He is our Lord and I look forward to being in Heaven when he calls me home.
God Bless You

Who can separate us from the love of Christ? Romans 8 v 28

specific the call is given us with the aid of unbelievers. you're factor being? "Christian" in simple terms ability belonging to Christ. we are actually not ashamed of that. No, Jesus did not noticeably say to apply any call- we are unfastened to ascertain issues like that for ourselves. So some human beings Christians, choose different titles like, Catholic, Protestant, Born back, Modernist, Evangelical, Baptist, Methodist and so on. we don't difficulty approximately what you difficulty approximately - like utilising present day politically superb suited words and heading off others. however the factor isn't what we call ourselves yet what God calls us. Why hasn't He called you? that's what i think of you need to spend some moments thinking approximately. in case you carry on jeering at us, it in basic terms makes you think of you're extra suited yet you're lacking out on a relationship with God. yet that could propose you may ought to stand up on your weaknesses and fears and ask God to heal you. That'll take guts. i've got not meant an atheist yet who has ever been able to do it. try God for your self and notice if he's actual. we are Christians by using fact he's actual.

You mean like Jesus did, when he grew angry and intolerant, knocking over the tables of the money changers and the merchants who were open for business during passover, because he didn't think they honored God properly?

Very good point. Unfortunately we all have our moments of weakness and are not so 'Christ-Like'. Hopefully none of my answers are what you are talking about. You have seem to have it together better than I. May he bless you and others through you abundantly. Peace be with you.
