Christians (here come the responses) just want to know why the bible is cherry picked???

Question

You all believe in the scriptures you hear in church and bible study, you know the positive ones about living life to the fullest in John, and love thy neighbor. But what about the negative ones that talk about killing and judging and why arent those followed as well, do you feel as most of non believers feel that your religion is slightly hypocrital at all. Now Im trying to ask this to inform myself on your personal feelings and thinking, quoting me scripture is not what Im looking for, try and give me an answer from the heart, not something you think would match biblical scriptures word for word...please dont bash me also, if your a Christian or Muslim, I just want info not words telliing me Im not as good as a you or whatever, thanks

Answer 1

I cant speak for everyone I can only speak for myself,,,I don't go around killing and judging others,,,God has worked on me in my own life and brought me to an understanding what i am to do,,,and it lays in Scripture,,,so theres my answer,,,,no one is perfect,,

Answer 2

I sin. We all sin. We all depart from God's will to pursue our own interests. That said, we're forgiven in our belief in Jesus Christ as our Savior.

The Bible is a wonderful gift that God provided that we would come to know how we can fulfill this gift of life He provided us. Some of God's truths are basic - we can accept them more readily than others. Others of God's truths are more complicated and require us to allow God deep into our hearts - a place that we have guarded, perhaps, for years.

I try. I'm not perfect, but I try to seek the perfection that belongs to God alone, that all glory and praise would go to Him. And this is only by the strength God provides to me.

Rather than see the Church by its people, I suggest seeing the Church as Jesus Christ - perhaps you'll see how much there is to love in the Church.
