Seems like its only a matter of time before your disappointed. Poor Jesus getting a bad rap from the likes of you. (You know who you are as well.) I hope your wrong about it all for your sake. Cant even follow your own rules...Poor Jesus must really be disappointed with you who do these blasphemous things. Now go pray....

Christians often have the most vitriolic tongues

Do you think all Muslims should be judged my the ones who attacked the U.S. on 9/11? OF COURSE NOT! There are good and bad Muslims, good and bad Hindus, good and bad Buddhists, and yes, there are good and bad "Christians". The simple fact is that there are "good" and "bad" people. People shouldn't be judged by other people's actions because that is totally unfair. People need to be judged by their individual character. You shouldn't judge people by their religion, but by their actions, by what kind of person they are. Most all religions teach being a good person - If you could ask Gandhi, and Jesus, and all other individuals who religion was fonded on they would all tell you the same thing. So don't go bashing the Christian religion or any religion for that matter, just the one who is doing wrong in the name of their religion.

We should all think before we speak- as the Bible says:
Matthew 7:3
Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
-We need to take the log out of our own eyes first- which means are we doing what the word says and not just hearing it? As it says in James 1:22.
I pray so much that the Lord will help me to not say something that I need to be doing- to judge someone else by it. Many times I say to myself " I am not the one to talk" --because I have fallen short many times- I know I am forgiven through Jesus Christ and I know what is right and wrong- but if someone is struggling with sin and then tells someone else who is in the same sin they need to repent- that is wrong of them- first they need to repent and get right with God! That is why I love that verse about the log in our own eyes. When you see an answer that is mean and hateful, please know that they are obviously not walking in the Spirit of God- that does really disappoint me.

I am a Christian. And although I strive to live a life pleasing to God, there are times I fail. If in any way, I have ever said anything that could be construed as name calling, being judgmental or just plain mean, I ask for your forgiveness. I don't think I have, I try not to. But you are right, if we as Christians don't act Christ-like, we are giving our Savior a bad name. Please don't judge Jesus by humans - humans will always let you down - they are flawed. Jesus will never let you down, He is perfect.

Some so called Christians just preach and don't live it out, but it's unfair to just generalize Christians like that man. We are ALL going to sin, we are ALL going to slip up and fall, so we All may seem at times like we are just hipocrites, but really we ALL struggle with sin.

Yipes, I mean, Jesus was just a poor preacher. But most Christians really don't, I've yet to meet a single Christian who actually obeyed all of the rules.
Besides, Jesus was Jewish, and he merely preached that God was forgiving, he never meant for an entirely new religion to start up.

Not many of us know fully God's love. We know OF his love and about it (enough to believe in Him). If we did know it as much as HE wanted, we would be able to walk the walk.
We have to know it to show it.
Naked truth (about ourselves) is too hard to handle. But either way, truth is revealed enough to show what the right walk is.
Blessed indeed are the poor in spirit, who mourn, the meek, merciful, pure (don't see wrong in others), hungry and thirsty for real good, peacemakers (undivisive), ..

Most people like to say they do. I follow Jesus but sometimes anger must be felt. I am not perfect, nor do I pretend to be perfect. Jesus was and I am doing my best to be like him. However, I am only human and I, like everyone else, tend to make mistakes.

Christians are not perfect. But they do own their mistakes and that is the secret of becoming a better Christian! Jesus is always there to guide them!

I don't always practice what I preach. However I don't say, do what I say because I think it's right. I say do what God says because HE practices what He preaches. I hope YOU are wrong for all of our sakes. If your right, you will have no time to snicker point and laugh. For us there will be no time to be dissappointed. Not much of a reward for years of faithful service to atheism I'm afraid.

It's called being human in a sinful world. The Apostle Paul had this very problem, as did every other CHristian who ever lived.
Romans 7:18-25 (Amplified Bible)
18For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot perform it. [I have the intention and urge to do what is right, but no power to carry it out.]
19For I fail to practice the good deeds I desire to do, but the evil deeds that I do not desire to do are what I am [ever] doing.
20Now if I do what I do not desire to do, it is no longer I doing it [it is not myself that acts], but the sin [principle] which dwells within me [[a]fixed and operating in my soul].
21So I find it to be a law (rule of action of my being) that when I want to do what is right and good, evil is ever present with me and I am subject to its insistent demands.
22For I endorse and delight in the Law of God in my inmost self [with my new nature].(A)
23But I discern in my bodily members [[b]in the sensitive appetites and wills of the flesh] a different law (rule of action) at war against the law of my mind (my reason) and making me a prisoner to the law of sin that dwells in my bodily organs [[c]in the sensitive appetites and wills of the flesh].
24O unhappy and pitiable and wretched man that I am! Who will release and deliver me from [the shackles of] this body of death?
25O thank God! [He will!] through Jesus Christ (the Anointed One) our Lord! So then indeed I, of myself with the mind and heart, serve the Law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.
