Do you love your neighbor no matter what?

There are 2 types of "Christians" - those who have been brought up Christian or those who merely go to church on a Sunday but have not had a personal encounter with Jesus Christ and do not KNOW God. These give Christianity a bad name because they call themselves Christians but do not serve the Lord, and as a result, nothing distinguishes them from the unbeliever because they do not have the Holy Spirit in them to guide and lead and change them into a representative of Jesus Christ.
Then there are those of us who are born again Christians and who the Lord slowly changes and delivers and begins to turn us into what He wants us to be - an image of Himself.
There are many, many people who have been brought up very very badly in God's name and they do not know God. If they did, they would not do the terrible things they do.
Please, please understand the difference. Born again Christians are NOT religious. Christians who do not know the Lord ARE religious. God detests religion because He wants us to have a personal relationship with Him.
I hope this helps.

To be a Christian, one must be born again. That means to receive Jesus Christ as your personal savior,to believe in him and to have and intimate relationship with him. It means to follow him in the way that you live your life. The Bible is the authority for the Christian faith.

Christianity is the group of people who believe that a man named Jesus was born of a virgin, was crucified, came back to life after three days, and then ascended into heaven, all to save those who believe in him from going to hell because of their sins. Christian means "little Christ".

stupidity and ignorance incarnate.
no i dont love my neighbor. i pick and choose who i care about. i dont have this overgeneralized romantic outlook on everyone. i DO try to look for the best in people...but lots of people dont deserve respect.
maybe thats why christians constantly get walked on.

Christianity is a religion that claims to be the only way to God. It is not the only way.
