Other than the self centered opinion of the Christians?

I was raised a Christian, and have problems with their values. Most seem hypocritical to me. It is sad that they think their beliefs and values are the best, and only way to think. The older I get, the more I find flaws with Christianity.

My values are not better than your values I suppose. You do good because you want to be a good person, I do good because I want to be a good person. The only real difference is I'm a Christian.

Who made them Christian values? The Bible contains Gods values!

Christian Values are living by the example that Jesus left for us. He laid down His life for us to be our substitute, taking the punishment we all deserve on Himself. God is a God who loves His creation, but He is also a Holy God and has to judge sin. Jesus showed His stunning love to us by exchanging His life for our to satisfy God's need to to judge sin. He came from God and returned to God making the way for us to go into Eternal life with Him possible. It is so simple many people miss it. But, if we say we are Christians and do not obey Him and walk in His love, we lie and the Truth is not in us. That is why many people are confused about Chritianity, many are Christians in name only,a true Christian is one who exercise the "fruit of the Spirit" (the work which His presence within accomplishes) is Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self Control. And we who profess to be Christians need to exercise these fruits daily

If you read the Bible as a owners manuel you will see that God gave us this book to make our life easier .. I don't think I'm better than anyone else, and I am not self centered
either...

1. Love God with all your soul and all your heart
2. Love all people, no exceptions, no conditions
3. Forgive and ask for Forgiveness from those who you have wronged and from God.
4. Treat others with dignity and respect and love, just as you would like to be treated.
5. Do not stand in judgment of others, for as you judge them, so will God judge you.
6. Take the log from your eye before trying to remove the splinter from someone else's
7. Do not throw stones, you are not without sin (referring to myself.
8. Accept God's answers to your prayers, even if they are not what you wanted.
9. Be of service to others in all things
10.Do not lie, the truth is freedom

then say that Christ way is the only way all
people could live together. The New Test.
Church is only about love that includes those

know? etc..

They aren't any better. And for those who think that the Bible has "God's values" in it, really need to think. The Bible was written by a MAN, whether 'God' sent him the words or not. It is still corrupted from what 'God' sent him because a person wrote it down and mixed his own ideals with it.
