A true Christian cannot really be judged by his actions, like your neighbor with the dog. A true Christian is someone who has accepted Jesus as his savior and has had his sins washed away. That is salvation.

If the worst murderer accepted Jesus on his deathbed, he would be saved, as in the thief on the cross. Son of Sam had a true conversion. I have heard radio interviews with him. Karla Fay Tucker was the same imo.


The next step after salvation is sanctification when the Holy Spirit changes someone to become more like Jesus. This is life long and will never, ever, ever be perfect. That human being will, always, have flaws.

To me, a true Christian would not hate Israel because God would lead him to love for Israel, but a person may be in the process of hating Israel when he was saved as has happened with many Muslims who get saved such as Walid Shoebat who was a former terrorist and now speaks in Messianic synagogues.

However, a person could have any number of flaws which God is working on, so you must never judge a Christian by his actions, although people do, all the time.

One is a Christian by accepting Jesus as one's savior, in one's heart. The heart is the key. If is is not in the heart, it is not real.

I`m trusting you ask with sincerity and so I will answer with honesty as well

quote:

Experience has taught me that the Faithful practicing Christians don`t call themselves "true Christians". They practice quietly and and act like Christians following the Teachings of Jesus without fanfare or Bible thumping.

These "True Christians" do indeed accept jesus as their savior and are washed free from sin. Therein lies the rub. The True Christians you speak of, believe this absolves them from future sin and misdeed. They are safe against sin because they accepted Jesus. Not true at all & they go about being hypocrites, gossips or against the Teachings in one form or another and it`s just dandy. They were washed free from sin therefore....

quote:

Remember Christian means following Jesus the Christ as their Savior first and formost. Jesus does not teach us to love Israel at all. He teachs us to love ALL. Including infidels. Christians do not judge as per Teachings yet "True Christians" judge all the time sending good folks to hell because they don`t believe the same doctrine.

"True Christians" are all about doctrine and not following the Teachings they believe they are saved from..

Do you believe there is ONE way to God, through Jesus and his sacrifice for your sins?

Ami Anne,

There are many ways to God,
for each is a personal journey..
within. ...


why do you think the Pope resigned?

The Truth!

NO ONE can take on your sins
each of us is responsible for
our own actions..
a very simple TRUTH...

Ami, have you read any
of the gospels that were
omitted from the Bible?


SEEK the Truth
and you shall
be set FREE... .

Most people in my life are not Christians, so I know that non Christians feel that way.

This is what makes a Christian, in a nutshell, according to the Bible i.e there is one path to God through Jesus. If you answer yes or no, I will address each of your points. If not, I won't.

Anyway, you can answer it or not. If you don't want to commit yourself, I really have nothing more to say on the matter.

Blessings to you

Let us agree you are the True Christian, I am an untrue Christian and we agree to disagree. Fair and sensible enough?

If you do not believe there is one way to God and that is through the sacrifice of Jesus for your sins, then you are not a Christian according to the Bible. Hence, I really don't want to have a discussion about Christianity with you, as if you are.

Blessings to you
