How Many Of Us Are Really Christians? Do We Walk It Or Just Talk It?
Loved the poem and sentiment.
Someone asked, "what is a Christian?"
A sinner of course. LOL. King David writes a song in Psalms he says, "let the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts be acceptable in thy sites, over ride.
To be a fair judge would insist that a person really knows what their heart means to speak so we judge not on accounts of our actions but God knows a good heart that meant well and a black heart that did not and it isn't for us to decide because in some way I do believe we are all "Christian".
I wont tell someone they are when they say they are not, but in my own heart I say, because I understand the troubles with people and the conditions of life, it is not even the words that makes us better, not our actions, but what is in our hearts that guide us down the path of love.
And I say like I always say, " If all these good loving people are the trash, then take me out with the trash."

0 It certainly does and when a friend of mine sent it, I was curious to know what others thought and so far we are all on the same page. Why do people go to church and then become hypocritical on Monday? I do have friends who act this way, I am Christian but I certainly do not push others to believe in what I believe and I do not judge others for who they are.

LOL I am not one Julianna. More, I think they all are making a grave mistake
But lisafwgo1, you obviously don't SEE what is happening here - people are SAYING that Jesus was not ACTUALLY Divine! I mean it! They really are!
It's the Arian heresy breaking loose in the guise of atheism, Judaism, Baha'i, Buddhist and Islamic "religion". Every person who walks around espousing any one of these God-forsaken doctrines is making a direct, personal attack on Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself! How can you be so blind as to not see these ever-increasing, vicious and unwarranted attacks for the cowardly, arrogant, misguided, yet ultimately evil acts that they are?
They will get theirs in the Fiery Pits of Judgement Day. And if you defend them, you will, too ...

P.S. Repent now - it's not too late ...
I do not believe our words should be silenced, what I believe is we need to walk like Christians if we are Christians and talk like Christians that we are supposed to be, but many of us run around defying the word, mocking others, arguing, fighting and spatting is that what Jesus would do?
Mrs. Evans, Jesus is like the nicest person ever and most loving person ever, right? They did the same things to him too.
It's isn't that these people or I am not doing what Jesus would or wouldn't do because the mere utterance is enough to get people angry.
It happened in his time and they went as far as to kill him for it. He didn't hurt anyone all he did was talk with passion about God, offer people forgiveness, take people under him with kindness and a stretched out hand and said follow me.
He said, if you follow me, you will know the Father's love but he said, if you follow me they will hate you for it but be assured that they hated me before they hated you.
And so many, so, so many people will read this and see "hate" in it instead of Love in it.
Sandra, You are so sweet I to am a Christian and I am certainly not trying to spread hate by all means. I am trying to understand why we call ourselves Christians and then taunt, badger, and harass others? There certainly isn't an ill-malice in the question. How could we as Christians lead others to Jesus when we do not act like Christians ourselves? People see us as a reflection of what he is and turn the other cheek when we act wrongfully. In order to lead we have to learn how to follow and do what Jesus has done. We have to be strong without being judgemental and we have to pray for those without being condescending. You more often then others always shed kind words, but we cannot be angry at our other brothers and sisters or those who do not believe we have to embrace and love them as that is what Jesus would do.
Your right AEvan. I try.
thank you.
Yeah had to listen to some of their other songs too.
