Ok, for starters, I am not a christian, but I do believe in God, and I know that he loves me!!!!!
The question is....OK When a christian makes one mistake or accidently curses, or I mean anything that would be considered
bad....why do non-believers, and even everyday people will take it to their advantage, and say ohhhhh "she calls herself a christian, but look at what she just said"!!!!!
No one is perfect except God!!!!!
That is why God is sooooooooooooo
good.....I mean he gives christians a chance to repent for their sins, because he is a forgiving God and He knows that we are only humans and that we are going to make mistakes!!!
I am sure that it doesn't bother those that are christian, because they know that they have God by their side!
Even people that are not christian,will always have God by their side!
Because God loves everyone, and he gives everyone a chance.....lots of chances!!!
Even though it may not bother the christians, I am just curious!

Well to correct what I said above..........OK it is true that God loves everyone, but he will not ALWAYS be by your side if you are NOT christian!
I just meant that He is there for you if you will let Him into your life!!!!

Amen sister! I've noticed that too. I think part of the reason may be that people by our own sinful nature look for faults in others, maybe some more than others, to maybe feel better about our own inadequacies or faults/weaknesses.
There's an expression that says, "whenever you point your finger at someone else, there is three fingers pointing back at you."
It doesn't bother me, and I'm a christian, because I know God knows me and He knows the truth, and all there is to know about me, faults/weaknesses and all, and yet He loves me still. We all have them, and we are all sinners and fall short of the glory of God. The only One who is perfect and without sin, is Jesus Chris†. And even after they had nailed Him to the cross, He said, "Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do."
I don't know why some do what they do, but I do know the Scriptures, and one of the things it says,
is that "the devil is the accuser of the brethern". Go figure! huh

I agree with everything you said.... except for
"even people that are not Christian, will always have God by their side!"
if you don't mean this literally, as in physically everywhere, so He is actually "by your side", then it's wrong. God has mercy on whom He has mercy. The only promises He made to the unGodly are those of judgement, and even they have "if"s attached. such as "if you don't repent, I will judge".
that's assuming by "Christian" you mean someone who has a relationship with Christ, not just any old person who associates with the word Christ or God. but yes, everyone get's plenty of chances.

Because God was VERY specific in the Bible--you don't start judging, criticizing or meddling in someone else's life until and unless your OWN life is in order.
There's no wriggle room on this--Jesus repeated the message over and over and over again--you remove the mote from your own eye FIRST, then maybe start looking at the mote in someone else's.
And if you aren't going to follow God's direction on this, what kind of example are you setting for those you are trying to reach?

Let me say first off...from a Christian view point...God is not by your side if you haven't asked Him to be your savior...yes He loves everyone, but only looks after His children.
Secondly...Christians are expected to be better than the world...yeah we mess up some times, but we are to strive to be our best...even when it is hard. We need to "be perfect" in their eyes...even though it is impossible...I know it doesn't make much sence, but I hope it helps! :)

I've never witnessed the experience you describe. Most people wouldfn't care if she was Christian or not, or what she said, unless she had been touting her faith to anyone wwithin earshot, or if her saying such was somehow hypocritical (i.e. she had criticized others for doing that same thing).
Most people mind their own business (unless it involves a celebrity or a rival) unless they have a reason not to.

We are more concerned with ignorant blather that comes out of Christian's mouths regarding belief rather than momentary disbelief, which we could care less about.

St. Paul said "all have sinned and have fallen short" so don't worry about it. It has something to do wtih our fallen nature. The important thing to know is you have done something wrong and learn from it.

Paragraphs, Paragraphs Paragraphs..
How many times do I have to say it before people will understand? Using paragraphs makes it easier for people to read and decipher what you are trying to say..
As to the rest... Calling people on their hypocrisy is fun and entertaining... If christians and other don't want to be called on it they should refrain from indulging in hypocrisy..

There's nothing more exhilarating than pointing out the shortcomings of others is there?
