Who would win a war between the "Real" and "Fake" Christians?

Question

Every time a Xtian is bad or stupid, I hear they were not a "Real" Xtian. Every time one Xtian disagrees with another, they accuse each other of not being real Christians. The "real" ones seem to be in the minority.

Answer 1

Your probably right real faithfulness is rare and they would probably
lose a war with the masqueraders because they would just be nicer

Answer 2

The real question seems to be what is the qualification of a "Real" Christian or a "Fake" Christian.

For many Catholics, being Protestant is enough. For many Protestants, it is vice versa. Should you go to church more or less, or does this even play a determining factor? Is it appropriate to try to convert others, or condemn their "false" beliefs. Given the right source, anyone could be construed as a "fake" Christian. So then if everyone is wrong, then there is no opposition.

Therefore, the "fake" Christians win by default, and noone goes to heaven in the end, since the only "real Christians" seem to be dead, or in some cases risen again. Either way, noone seems to know of any real Christians other then themselves.

But wait! If evey individual believes that they are the "Real" Christian, then there must be no "Fake" Christians after all. All Real Christians then win, by the same rules of default. Now where did those followers of Muhammed go? It's time to start a new war over ideologies in order to accomplish MORE nothing.

Answer 3

The same thing happens in every human endeavor, political groups, knitting circles, etc.

The difference is that 'real' Christians can prove that they have faith in Jesus, since Jesus promised that everyone who had any faith in him would be able to do all the miracles he could do and greater.

They don't seem to have been around much lately, but if they were, and if some fake Christians challenged them to a fight, I'm sure that they could calm and teach the fake ones properly.

The problem is that Jesus lived his life as an example, not just of morality and obedience of the 2 (Christian) commandments, but like a 7-step plan to being a vessel of YHVH, and everyone seems to think that they can complete that first step and be completely "in" without learning the Torah, Living their Lives by Love, Hearing God's call to do the work He has prepared, Being baptised by water and Spirit, fasting away from all others - being tempted and triumphing over all temptations thru your knowledge of the Torah, doing your Work with teaching and miracles until people glorify you - envy you- hate you - persecute you - and kill you.
No one really wants to be persecuted or killed these days, and they think that following Jesus can be watered down to the point that most people won't persecute the followers.

Contracting Christian to Xtian was started by those who contracted Christmas to x-mas.

Answer 4

Lemme put it this way: the Bible is a freakin' HUGE book. There is so much to take out of it! Even old people who have read that thing over and over still take new stuff out of it. There are definitely differences of opinion in the church itself, which is why there are many denominations and such.
Romans 3:23--"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,"
Romans 7 later goes on to say that even after the conversion of Paul, he was still struggling with sin (proving that Christians DO still sin, and can still be real Christians even if they make mistakes)
Obviously there are people who say they're Christians, but don't follow the Bible, or they take an interpretation of it very far from the accepted interpretations (don't get me started).

Nobody knows exactly who is a real Christian and who isn't until they really really know the other person for those reasons listed above.

To answer your question, the winner would be the side that God is on.

P.S.----"x-tians"<---?????

Answer 5

The "fake " Christians win every time they convince people that Christianity is a bunch of nonsense. The" real" Christians win when people understand who Jesus really is.

Answer 6

You're right. The "real" ones are a minority. But just because one is a Chrisain, doesn't mean that they are not human. And humans make mistakes. Mistakes are in turn, human nature. It is that constant pull to rise above human nature that makes the human race truly unique.

Hopefully that helps.

Answer 7

It's not really fake and real. It is more about actively seeking after God and His righteousness or after our own agendas.

I haven't actually judged any Christian on here as not a "real" one.

I can't make that decision only God does. I do know that their are a few pointers that show True follower of Jesus Christ,

ie. by their fruits you shall know them

Answer 8

Why, no scripture? Because that is one of the main weapons of our warfare. But we have God's Word inside of us anyway and the Power of the Holy Spirit. The POWER IS IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST! That is what makes me KNOW we are the winners in this battle. We are 'join-heirs' with Christ when we trust Him as Saviour; we inherit the POWER that is above all evil. (You picture Christians having picnics, etc. while I picture believers with the courage to 'charge hell with a squirt gun' simply because Jesus is our Saviour)

Answer 9

Actually the New Testament is full of warnings of false doctrine and false teachers. From the very beginning the problem you describe has existed.

Answer 10

We are. There are a lot of people who are nothing but church attenders or they may even be active in the church, but they've never been born again; they've never repented of their sins and been forgiven by Jesus Christ,

Sometimes by the answers people give, it's very evident that they're not born again believers.
