no, christians can be racists, homophobes, or not follow their own tenets and steal, lie, murder, ect

Oh, I can just hear the responses to this one. Now some of the responses that you are going to get will say that I am not a 'true' Christian. Just to warn you.
No, I don't think that everyone needs to be a Christian. God loves all of His children, no matter where, or who or how many bad things they have done to the rest of His children. He loves them all. Like any loving parent, He does not want His children to hurt each other, but He loves them all. God is a God of Love. If you are a Loving person, even if you do not know or do not follow Jesus, God will look to your life at the end. When He looks at you will He see Jesus? Will you and your life be an image of His Son? If yes, that is good enough for Him.
The only question He will ask you is "How much did you Love?" Everyone is born with the image of Christ within them. Everyone is born good. Don't listen to John Calvin.
Peace.

No, they are not. Not to me, at least.
I mean, do the other Christians understand how hyprocitical it is to preach to someone that the bible is the way to live, but in doing so break one of the many lessons within? Everyone is God's child - whether or not they believe it. Fairness and Kindness are what God wants - not snide remarks and condecending manners.
It's not my place to judge; I have friends from all races, sexual preferences and religions. If God honestly does not like non-christians, I'll let Him handle it in heaven. It won't tarnish my rep in his eyes to hang with some of the best friends I've had in my life!
And if some crazy rabid Christians ever tell you otherwise, disregard them. They are representatives of exactly what God does NOT want - groups pitted against one another, racial tension, angry words, brother against brother.

Not in my eyes. Unsaved maybe by christian terms, but not wicked. Wicked is to do evil and be unmoral, and I have personally met atheists who have morals and are very caring individuals. There also are people who profess to be christians and live an immoral lifestyle.

...Jesus said there are only two sides a person can be on, and they are:
...Matthew 12:30 "He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me scatters."
...I did not make this up - either one is a servant of Christ, or else he is a slave of sin, observe, from John 8:43-45 -
...43 "Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word.
...44 "You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
...45 "But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me."
...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved. Acts 16:31
...Whosoever will, may come.

The whole world is wicked in Gods eyes, everyone who has not been covered in the blood of the savior will perish. It is Gods eyes that count, not mine or anyone elses. We are all sinners and deserve hell. I cannot send anyone to hell and I cannot forgive anyones sins, only God does this, it is Him we are all reponsible to.
God Bless You....Peace.

Absolutely not! To me, all they are are people who don't know God yet and I pray that someone, maybe even me, will bring those people to God. I have compassion for all people, saved or not.
Christian: Professing belief in Jesus as Christ or following the religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus.
Wicked: Evil by nature and in practice. We have sin natures because of the fall, not evil natures.
Sin: A transgression of a religious or moral law, especially when deliberate.
And before you guys start bagging on me, I'm not trying to push my views on anyone or nor am I suggesting that without God, you will go to hell. (Although that is my belief.) I am simply answering the man's question.
Be blessed.

I am a Christian Preacher, writer and Evangelist.
I have several friends that don't believe as I do when it comes to Faith in God and Jesus Christ. I don't think of them as evil as much as I think of them as still searching.
For that matter I know several people that call themselves Christian that are almost evil personified.
I hope that answers your question.

No one is wicked in our eyes. We are sinners saved by grace. Matter of fact Tex Watson is a brother in Christ and he butchered a couple of people just for kicks. Not to mention Saul/Paul. Jesus saved us from what we deserve and he can save you too.

No. I am a Christian and know many good people who aren't. Many are active in charitable and community organizations trying to make their communities and the world a better place to live.
