the real ones can be found in many other faiths and even those without faith
Christian = being Christ like ( in my opinion )

Anyone who believes that Jesus is the son of God and who considers themselves to be saved by his blood is a Christian.
It's a shame that some Christians use their faith to climb social ladders, it's a bit like having a "stained glass masquerade".

You are right; we can be very hard to find but we are out there (and here in this forum).
The true test of a Christian is in how we live our lives OUTSIDE of church.
Yes, I do practice what I preach.
Frankly, I'm too lazy to do otherwise.
LOL!
I know that may not make any sense to many but think about it.....
If you are completely truthful and live by your values, that is a lot easier than trying to cover up lies or other discrepancies that many people go to the effort to do.
My actions do stand up to the light of scrutiny and I wouldn't have it any other way.
That makes life so much more simple.
Am I a sinner and slip every so often?
Yes, of course I do; I'm human and not God.
But I know in my heart that God loves me anyway and claims me as His own because I claim Him and stand up for His laws and commandments.
I know that God will forgive me my many sins so long as I constantly strive to live a better life, learn from my mistakes and make a concerted effort to not make the same mistakes; for me not so much because sin seperates me from God but more because I know I have disappointed Him and let Him down.
I hope this helps.
God bless.

Thank you for asking Go to http://www.essene.org the Essenes are the ancient original Christians who have the lost teachings of Christ (the dead sea scrolls) There was such a cover up by the Catholic church of Reincarnation, Karma, Vegetarianism, that hell is not eternal, So many amazing things and when you read or watch their videos all of your questions become answered

You can find real Christians at Kingdom Halls. What you'll find there are true students of the Bible trying to live their lives according to Christ's teachings and God's standards. We aren't perfect, but we do try very hard to harmonize our lives with God's will.

How can being a christian help you to climb the social ladder? Aren't they shunned and alienated by decent people everywhere?

Ask God to reveal to you the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21). You'll find real Christians there.
