The person who is friendly to everyone and has a positive attitude and outlook on life, and loves everyone, OR the person who volunteers at nearly every parish or school function, and complains about everything?
Just curious. And don't go "God told us not to judge," because you do it anyways, and I am curious as to your *opinion*. :)

I would say the person who does everything with a postive attitude and has a good outlook on life. The person who is supposedly volunteering at everything and complaining should just stay home. Because if they were living as Jesus would want them too, then they would do it without complaining because they know that they are helping someone out. They need to ask themselves what would Jesus do. Jesus would not complain if he had to to something. So, neither should we complain if we volunteer to do something for someone.

Come on, do you really need to ask that? All Christians should be friendly and have a positive attitude. We are trying to show you how great it is to be a Christian. I know that allot of Christians (and yes me too sometimes)or proclaimed Christians judge and condemn others. this is not being Christ like. Our God loves us all, he only hates sin.
Jesus never said, "Believe me or go to hell." He would have said, Believe in me and join me in Heaven" Hell is a choice that you make.

The person who is friendly to everyone. And feel sorry for the one who complains about everything, go out of your way to be nice to them, and say a prayer for them, poor thing.

That was Luther's contention. Here I am in a monastery and the bible says that I need action to be saved. Which is right, am I saved by beliefs or actions, or both. Love seems to be the key, but you gotta show it. Check the ten commandments order. 1. Have no other God. 2. Love thy neighbor. So, in my opinion be God-like because you have no other God, and show it by loving your neighbor

Both are doing the Lord's work. The one who complains is maybe a weak christian. Sometimes we as Christians let little bad habits to slide back into us, so to put things right they need to be confronted and be reminded how to do things with love instead of doing thing they feel they are obligated to do.

The one with the friendly and positive outlook, IMHO. Live as Jesus did, I doubt he ever complained. LOVE THY NEIGHBOR!!

I like the first one better. Complainers died in the dessert when Moses was leading them. Complainers never made it to the promise land.

Yeh, like Jesus got crucified for complaining against the religious institutional types of his day.

God is Love.
I say the first.
He says later to give grudgingly is not good.
It's the heart that is important.
God knows the Heart and the intent.
