And why do most Christians on here reply with anger, usually? I know that's a blanket/generalizing statement, but it's still rather true.

My Dear One, if every Christian would just love their neighbor as themselves, the world would be a happier place. (of course we'd *all* have to do the same) They've been attacked a great deal recently and some of them have less than short-tempers. Some of them simply hate. It's an ugly thought but true. Most Christians are good loving people but like most folks, we only tend to see the idiots in our midst. Blessings.

Could it be your perception of the stand Christians (in general) take against wickedness and the lies of the devil is seen as anger? You are welcome to think it is true but I really think most who claim to be a Christian are really trying to be both a loving witness balanced with a firm stand against the powers of darkness. Sometimes, that balance is lost. Just because some may not get their message across exactly right doesn't mean they are angry necessarily. Sounds like you are judging all Christians and I would say that if I weren't one myself! Bitterness and anger are my old self so I hope and pray I do not truly come across that way to anyone else. I do notice some truths presented by Christians in the wrong attitude and many don't have a real depth in the Word of God or what they believe and that sort of urks me. Also, they are not always mature Christians that will use slang words and who think in the same terms as the worldly culture. I will not expect to "fit in" with the world or expect them to love me because of whom I have believed in and that is Jesus Christ. I only hope I show and live in such a way that people are convinced that you CAN BE FREE FROM SIN and UNCLEANNESS and that I shun it as much as I tell you that God wants you to. It's called "guarding your heart" from the darts of the enemy and some of us need to put more spiritual armor on and do some more growing in the faith so you need to allow for that. I still challenge all non-believers to just believe on the name of Jesus Christ and then you can show us how to be good Christians instead of sitting in the seat of the scornful and standing in the way of sinners! There is JOY in serving Jesus and regardless of what others may say, my life is not a bed of roses just because I'm a Christian but Jesus is the reason for my JOY and hope for living!

Christians aren't the only ones who don't (to your way of thinking)
live up to their beliefs. Your attitude says a lot about you. You have a closed mind.
Where do you get your facts?
Have you gone all over the world and taken a poll to know how
Christians think and react?
The best I can say is a lot of people react in a certain way. None of us has anyway of knowing if thats a majority.

There are levels of maturity in Christianity, as there are in any aspect of life.
Some reply with anger because they feel insulted and they do not know that even though they feel that way, they should respond with love.

They do not reply with anger. The majority of people are overly protective in regards to their religion, never mind whatever their religion might be. It is just human nature.

Because Christians are soft. It takes a conscientious expression of determined will to do what The Lord did. Instant gratification and laziness is what has destroyed the will of his people.
Believe it or not, the prayer of believers from around the world pray this prayer for the "Christians" in America every day...
God, please send a tribulation to wake up your saints.

People when they first find God, are infants, spiritually.
God wants us to grow. Some are at the toddler phase. The yuhuh is too phase. If they havent been growing closer to God, then they should have some self reflection time, and read the bible and meditate.

It's not a sin to be Angry . The Christian Religion just says you should Forgive . I learned that from Diary of a Mad Black Woman by Tyler Perry .

Because we are all sinners, we have a worldly view on everything. Jesus was perfect, He spoke of how we were created to be, but with years and years of sin in our lives, it's hard to be like Him. We are to strive to be like our Father in heaven, but God knew that we would fall short, that is why He sent Jesus to pay the price for our sin.
