Christians: How much do your beliefs affect your lifestyle?

Question

Tell the truth now....are you truly distinguishable from non-believers? Should you be?

I'm not being judgemental or self-righteous. Prap's I worded this Q. badly.

Answer 1

WELL DON'T GET HANGOVERS
DON'T DO DRUGS
DON'T GET ARRESTED.
DON'T CHEAT STEAL LIE

WELL I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU COULD TELL ME APART FROM 300 OTHER MILLION.

Answer 2

I think most people can see a difference, but I only tell them why if they ask..;o) My beliefs affect almost everything about my lifestyle, but it's not the lifestyle that needs to be seen as different, it's more the attitude, the love and the way we treat people. There is a reason God said to love your enemies and to overcome evil with good. A smile can go alot further than any sort of condemnation. I truly believe that.

Answer 3

I believe I am. I want to stand out, not as a weirdo really, but at the same time..kinda. I am a Seventh Day Adventist and our lifestyle has shown to increase our lifespans by 10- years. That also distinguishes us from other believers, which is a powerful testimony to living according to God's word. But all Christians should want to stand out, like a light on a hill, as the Bible describes it.

Answer 4

Thank you for asking! My lifestyle reflects my beliefs very much. I have made many many changes since I came to know the true God and since I gained accurate knowledge of God's will for my life. I try very hard to form my actions and my life style based on Bible principles...God's standards for those who worship him. I also try very hard not to grieve God's holy spirit, and to live any other way certainly would. Yes, I hope that I am distinguishable from non-believers and yes, I think it is very important to remain in God's favor by remaining separate from the worldly system of things.

Answer 5

Let put a famous bible verse a new way, For God "SO" Loved [The Father] "SO" Loved the world that He gave [Jesus the second member of The Godhead gave Himself] that whosoever should BE-LIVE in Him should not perish but have everlasting life, the devil believes and trembles, belief that does not lead to action in presumption which is satan's counterfit of faith, hay learn more free bible lessons www.itiswritten.com God bless

Answer 6

It affects my lifestyle pretty much: I chose a job that requires lots of giving and patience (teaching) even though I have a good time like my friends in the corporate world. 95% percent of my colleauges are also Christians.

I commit each Sunday to God because I go to church.

I make it a point to donate to charities because my religious faith taught me to give to the less fortunate.

Answer 8

I'd say my beliefs keep me from trouble and entanglements with the law, my beliefs keep me from making errors which others pay for with their lives. I'd say I'm very fortunate indeed to have my Christian beliefs.

Answer 9

I hope you aren't saying that I shouldn't live my faith... I guess the unsaved would call me a stick in the mud. But other than my sailing I am at home with my family.... Jim

Answer 10

What is it that you are getting at? Our lifestyes are the same, just that we don't do what is against the Bible. We are all sinners no matter what, but we live by Grace.
