I would like to know your thoughts and views how you see Christians? How does a Christian's behavior reflect on Jesus Christ? Christian's can live in a box and forget that Jesus Christ said to be in the world, not of the world. Christianity is the business of love as Jesus Christ loves us unconditionally. Your thoughts?

A Christian is a follower of Christ. No one, Christian or otherwise, can make it easier for anyone to believe in God. No one comes except the Father draws them. A Christian can only 'testify' about who and what God is to them. To tell, teach, and preach what the Word of God says that He is and what He has been to us. God says that if we lift Him up(i.e. tell others about Him)He is the one who will do the drawing. May God Bless

I am a believer, not a Christian. I dont think there are any christians in the world today. A christian means to be like Christ. Christ was sinless his whole life. We are not. The only way we are sinless is because of the blood of Christ who was sinless in His flesh.As long as the devil is here, I will never be sinless in my flesh, but Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute sin , That is what Paul and David said, so all I have to do is believe that Jesus took my sins away. One time, Forever, not everytime I sin, But when He did it He said It is finished, no more sin or dying again for sin. No more sacrifices for sin, ever. His was the onetime sacrifice. I am a believer in Christ and His payment of His life for my sin and of the whole world. That is the only thing that will get me anywhere with God or to heaven.

I'd have to disagree with your first question. In general, a Christian makes it no more easier to believe in God than a Pagan makes it easier to believe in many Gods. Your second question, I take the person on an individual basis. If they claim they are peaceful yet are violent, I have nothing to do with them... doesn't matter to me what religion they are in. 3rd, Christians are supposed to be representing Jesus with their words and deeds, yet they are no different than any other person in other religions. 4th, a lot of Christians I have met, online and in real life, are just as much in the world as any other person... but the way I see it, they have placed their Jesus and their God in the box (placing limitation based on the Bible alone). I know some Christians are about loving unconditionally... but there are many who are more interested in "showing off"... "See? I'm a good Christian, I brought that dirty heathen to the Lord". Or to claim they are above others because of their belief.
Not ALL do this... but this is starting to look like the majority... especially with so many that are playing in politics.

Christians are to be a reflection of Jesus. We are suppose to have the mind of Christ. We are suppose to do the things that move Him. We oftentimes Say that we are not perfect, so thereforewe can not help but sin and constantly continue to sin and need forgiveness. How can we say we represent Christ"who is love unconditional" and continue tokeep sinning? is this a true reflection of Christ?

The historical Jesus is someone very different from what modern Christians believe him to have been. In fact, most of what Christians today believe came from sources other than Jesus.

No, a christian to me (strictly the xian part of their personality) is someone who is completely deluded about the nature of the world. I value people's compassion, good works, etc... but many people all over the world do that. One need not be xian to be good.
