I have given you multiple examples of those who claim to be Christian but obviously are not. Are you afraid to stand up against the world and rebuke these people in the name of Christ Jesus? Jesus says that if we deny him on earth, he will deny us in Heaven. Maybe you should all start thinking about that.

Christ pointed out those who went against his teachings. How can you say I am not Christ-like?

I'm not sure I understand your question. Who should we rebuke? Are we to rebuke an atheist because of his beliefs? NO we are not. We are to hate the sin and love the sinner and pray for him. Their beliefs do not affect us in any way because if we believe in the trinity how can their beliefs hurt us? Satan is the one we rebuke and most atheists are not devil worshippers because they dont believe in him any more than they believe in God. Because we treat them with kindness instead of condemnation does not mean we deny Christ. To offer insult upon insult is not in Christ's teachings.

well There are very few that really want to live for God and really have a crucified life. You just have to face it that most christians now days like the easy life and don't take the Bible too seriously. Preach on the streets for a while and see how many of the christians at church start to shun you..

In the time in which we leave, to day now a day's, and through the media of computer, web, net, and so on. It takes a lot, and convince people, although I'm Christian, I prefer to consider my self Catholic, are there peoples also scare of defining their self's as Catholic?, I think Yes, and that is also a shame, God can see, everything he is everywhere, that you need to be and maintain your self full awareness off, just look around it seams that none care, and the ones who do care, are Criticize or threaten. God Bless you.

Jesus doesn't give it to you to rebuke other's, lest you are rebuked as well.
I suggest you read The Sermon on the Mount.
Gary, you must be following your OWN brand of Christianity.
Jesus rebukes you, I'm sure of it.
How do you rebuke someone who can't be rebuked?

I am still on YA... you have to admit that YA is a strong tool of the forces of evil... and I have not backed down on one issue regarding The True Christian Faith... I "rebuke" only those who clearly are taking the side of the forces of evil... all honest questions I answer as honestly as I can.... I am here to offer the honest seeker a safe haven from the YA storm. That is why I accept email and answer questions that way as best I can.

Do you think you are God? If not, why do you think you can stand in judgement and see another's heart? Are you the ultimate authority on scripture? Why do you think that you have all of the answers?
Read John 8...Matthew 7 among many others...The Bible tells us specifically not to judge others.

Christ did indeed speak out against His followers who were not following Him properly. No where is it written that He spoke against those not of His chosen. I wil indeed attempt to guide another Christian but in the end it is each of us that must choose.

He also prophesized that St Peter, arguably his closest apostle, would deny Him 3 times. And, as the story goes anyways, he did. And I think Peter probably still made the cut, so to speak.
