he had a very good message. I like his message, I try my best to follow that message (trolls here can sometimes get to me) but I just don't believe in him being a supreme being. Why does it seem that some of his followers have lost that message?
Who is willing to state that they have been hypocritical on this board?
Please do not tell me I'm not willing, I wouldn't ask you to if I wasn't willing to myself.
I have been hypocritical on this board a good bit of times.

I try to follow Jesus's teachings, but I know I fall short at times.

Good question,the fact is that it seems often times some of the least Christ like people are the Christians,after all they have their lord and savior to answer for their sins,so why try so hard not to sin. I loved the Gandhi quote someone else threw out there,couldn't have hit the nail on the head harder. As for the hypocrite query I have to say I'm sure I've been a hypocrite,we all have at some point,the difference is that I try not to be one as hard as I can when many won't even make that effort.

Because as every year, decade that goes by, more and more evidence surfaces that the bible is false and made up. Just take a look at a recent book called Misquoting Jesus. It is a factual book that researches ancient biblical texts that prove that today's bible is mostly made up and untrue.
At the same time, more and more evidence comes up that re enforces evolution and the origin of species. All this leaves a lot of people in the middle of the road, so to speak.

The closest religion that practices what Jesus preached are Jehovahs Witnesses
They have love among themselves (John13:35)
They preach from house to house(Matt.28:19,20;Acts5:42,
20:20)
They talk to others about God's Kingdom

I can't say that I've been hypocritical. The things I say (even when I quote the word of God), I try to live by them. Have I stumbled a few times? That would be a yes, but I try not to make it a habit to live in sin. I repent and turn away from it. I know that I can't walk this walk without Christ.

As an atheist looking in, enable us to assume for a 2d that your Christian Jesus replaced into an particularly individual.A.D. replaced into on your historic previous e book for After dying, and B.C. replaced into for formerly Christ write, he replaced right into a guy(Son of God) on your bible it tells us that Jesus spoke against wealth with out compassion, fed the hungry, cared for the needy, placed babies first and aided the ill. He supposedly informed us that we too ought to carry on together with his occasion and additionally safeguard and approximately human beings the way he did. It’s exceedingly obtrusive whilst interpreting approximately Jesus that he replaced into undeniably a socialist. study each and every of the data right here your asking in Mathew 24-26 My question is, if Jesus set an occasion that we ought to continuously carry on with, why do maximum Christian conservatives interior us of a of america forget approximately approximately those teachings and help a fascist capitalist equipment by making use of vote casting Republican? I carry on with Jesus as I learn further and extra of him daily, no guy has ever in the international, not lied to my face yet different than the know God and the fact of God and Jesus they have in no way informed me a lie yet.For each and every of the top time written 2000+ years in the past have been genuine as even after the Rapture(taking of the Church the believers) the be conscious will shop exhibiting the anti -Christ is who the Bible says he would be. A political and financial equipment thoroughly on the alternative end of the spectrum of what your Jesus taught i don't vote in the event that they sound like an anti -Christ any-who,LOL

No one is ABLE to practice what Jesus preached. That is the whole point. The bible says that the wages of sin is death. We are all sinners. The second part of that verse is "but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord" Jesus Christ lived a perfect, sinless life and then, even though he did not deserve it, He chose to die in our place.
I have broken every commandment. I have lied, cheated, stole, used profanity, committed adultry. You name it. I am not a hypocrite. I am a man in need of a saviour. Jesus Christ is that saviour. He accepts me as I am. He loves me regardless of my sin.

I would like to think that I do, but you're right, I haven't been living up to what Jesus preached, and I doubt anyone has.
But I know the Holy Spirit is working in me to make me a better person, and each day in my relationship with God I become holier in His eyes and closer to Him.
Sanctification is not an easy process, but every Christian should hang in there and continue to strive to be closer to our Friend and Lord in Christ.

I practice what He preaches.
His lost message is more like hidden but right in front of us. Love is a basic need and want. His message is as simple as Him, Love. Love for friends, love for family, love for neighbors, love for enemies, above all love for Him. As I believe you can't truly know love if you don't love God.
I don't think I've been hypocritical. But perhaps....

I believe, and (at least try) to follow the Jesus' teachings.
I DO see similarities between his teachings and many Buddhist ones as well. As far as being a supreme being, I think that even if he wasn't he was at LEAST closer in understanding God than anybody at that time... and died for it.
