Of course not. That's the whole point.
Bad behavior is never justifiable.
Because of Jesus we have forgiveness, mercy and grace. We have redemption. We don't (as some unfortunately believe) have license to sin. See Romans chapter 6.

Anyone can say that Jesus is their savior. But to really mean it, to truly believe it...is much more than just words.
Either way, no, it does not justify your behavior. A sin is a sin, no matter who did it.

Jesus loves you... and would like to remind you Hell ain't half full yet: & tickets are free!!! Heaven has more room, but the tickets do cost... see God for further details!!

What kind of behavior are you referring to? Jesus IS my savior. Granted, I have to confess daily the stuff I do wrong willfully and knowingly, but that's cool. Jesus cleans me up much like how I clean my kids up after a particularly sloppy meal.

I feel Jesus does forgive our sins, but even he probably gets tired of forgiving the same sin over and over. One is not truly repentant if they keep committing the same sin and will be found out as trying to use religion as an excuse. Beware," Sunday Christians", because you will be found out and made to pay for your hypocrisy at the end of your time by being made to face your true nature, and it won't be pretty.

Have your read the Bible, any Christian literature, or really know what Christians believe. Jesus Justifies us so we know longer feel condemnation. But our actions have consequences and can even bring on God's correction/discipline.

No It doesn't. God yearns for us to be like him. And its not pleaseing to God when we sin. You can't build a relationship with God if you live a life in a mockery to him. Remember the parable of the man that said "Lord, Lord" And Jesus said, i never knew you. Matthew 7:22-24 (New International Version)

That is such a copout. I was raised protestant and apparently whatever sin you commit will be forgiven for you are always a child of god. so you can be a gluttonous bastard that treats people terrible but god will still welcome you in. meanwhile you can be the most humble, caring, and empathetic personin the world but if haven't said the sinner's prayer you will go to hell. what a joke this is why the world is so screwed up

Justify ?? We are just people with the flaws inherent to everyone, but we have a "Justifier", who sacrificed himself so we don't have to pay the consequences.

Jesus is not a justification. He is proof that none of us are justified. He is salvation.
