we christians believe in god yet it is not easy following his rules and becoming saints just like that. that takes time to become a totally good person everyday 24/7 how about you try it and see how easy that is. many profese that they are christians but still need to work on their character, we all do non of us are complete saints. we need to be pure in our mind thats where all the evil comes from and also our mouth. we need to put up with our everyday troubles which are not easy for nobody that also builds up stress. arent there people who tick you off and dont you try to control yourself by not even thinking anything bad. its not easy thats why we are still working on it, on our character. think about your daily troubles and quit worrying about christians. there are already too much people talking trash about christians and we dont need more. there are many people on the lookout because as soon as they see a flaw the tinyest flaw they come to question us "but arent a christian and this and that" we are not perfect and we are definitly not saints. its true that there are many that call themselves christians and are worst than people who are not christians because they are fakes and ignorants.

I'm a Christian. I had sex with my boyfriend last night (and again this morning as a matter of fact). We're not married and it was definitely a sin. I was totally wrong and I knew I shouldn't have done it and I did it anyway. So, does that make me not a Christian anymore? Does it make God's love for me null and void? Does it make me a hypocrite? (well probably). Should I hang up my cross and go back to the bars and nightclubs or throw away my bible and become a porn star? I disappointed God and I disappointed myself. I get weak and lonely and horny and sometimes I just want the closeness and feel of a man's hands on my body. I like the way men smell, and the sound of their voices, and the way they look in jeans and all that. I'm biologically engineered to like those things I'm a woman. I'm also the child of a God who undertands the way I feel because He made me. But He also made rules for his people to follow amd I'm not exempt. I missed the mark this time. God loves me, though, and He's not going to zap me He gives me a chance to see where I went wrong, get it right and keep on going. I'd love to tell you I'm a "good" Christian but really, how good can you be when the standard is perfection? We walk the best walk we know how. The reason we Christians have to be so forgiving is because we are forgiven-all the time!

Yes to God. I am a Christian. Studying the bible helped me to realize that I needed a savior.
We have all sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Being a Christian means to put on the identity of Christ and follow Him. It doesn't mean that we will never sin again, it does mean that we stop making sin a habit of our lives.
Sorry to hear about your teacher. Pray for that teacher!!! Some people try to use the grace of God as a license to sin since they know that God is a loving forgiving Father. This is not the right way to live.
My best advice to you is to study the bible for yourself. God's Word is truth. Know Him and follow His Word. His Holy Spirit dwells with those who believe. Ask questions and check them against the Word of God.
2 Peter 1:2-4
"Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in this world by lust."

People are way to critical. God wants us to be as much like him as possible but that doesn't mean we are perfect the moment we accept him! We have to try, some are just better at turning away from sin than others.
We shouldn't judge them though, God says 'Don't judge least you be judged.'
People just get a secret thrill from finding fault with others.

No I'm not a Christian. But I definitely do believe in God. There is only one God, that's what I think. Anyone would be outright foolish and perpetually blind to not see the clear signs and wonder of God in the Universe.

I am a Christian but I am not good all the time. No one is. Even the Bible says that "all have sinned" and that there is "none who is righteous" so there's no need to brag about it. We are only made righteous by faith in Jesus Christ when we accept Him as our personal savior from sin.

My opinion of GOD is that he is our father. Yes I am a Christian. Yes I am a good Christian. I am a good Christian because I know that through Jesus Christ I can do anything that God wants me to do. Outside of Jesus I am nothing. If you watch me long enough you will see me sin. Many times you will see it before I do. Please point it out to me so I can work on it. Thanks.
May GOD richly bless you.

I believe in God, but I make mistakes and can admit to them. I am by no means perfect.

Redeemed- that was the best answer!
Jesus says in the Bible "Apart from Me, you can do nothing"
--This is true! We NEED Him daily- in order to stay on that "narrow path" that leads to life. We can all be led astray that is why its crucial to study his Word and spend time with Him daily! We all fall short- Amen to that- But as a believer in Christ it is GREAT to know I have been forgiven- and that we can confess to him when we do sin- and that HIS HOLY SPIRIT convicts us! Conviction is a great thing! --Because it is the Holy Spirit moving in us....
