I am sure you do. :)

A fake Christian, like a fake Muslim or a fake Hindu is of course someone who talks frequently about their religious affiliation, who criticises others according to that yet in reality behaves very differently, even the opposite of what they preach.

Don't you agree?

LOL


Wheen you stand for 'Nothing', you can't be criticized can you.
We call those people, "Lost Souls".

What do you mean by criticizing?

We all have our foibles and licentiousness we need to overcome. Having them and professing to be a Christian doesn't make one fake. Calling licentiousness what it is isn't being fake.

Being a scoundrel and claiming to be a Christian isn't even necessarily fake-just makes one a bad Christian that causes great scandal.

Life is a spiritual battle with victories and defeats. To my mind, the key is engaging this battle with humility, which is a struggle in and of itself.

So, just because someone isn't living a life in complete alignment with Christ's will doesn't make him a fake Christian. I think "fake Christian" is a misguided term. The real question to be asked, IMO, isn't whether someone is a fake Christian, but rather is that person striving towards sanctity or not-and within that is realizing one's own sinfulness and need of mercy and that each of us are no better or worse than the sinner across from any of us; however, that doesn't mitigate or equivocate the sin itself and the need to acknowledge the sin and work to amend sinfulness.

Which, reminds me, I need to get to confession.

Not everyone slants the 'sins' of others, do they?
.


What in your opinion does make somebody one? I've given my opinion which you aren't obliged to agree with just as I don't agree with your view on it, so what do you think makes somebody one?

What do you mean?

As far as what makes one a Christian: generally speaking 1) Christian baptism and 2) accepting Christ as the Son of God who was sent to redeem man by His passion, death, and resurrection into communion with God and accepting His teachings as Truth and striving to live in accord with His teachings.

I could probably do better defining a Christian, but I'm dragging arse right now.

So what makes someone a fake Christian? Is everybody who claims to be a Christian really one?

I'm not sure there is such a thing as a fake Christian or Muslim or Buddhist or whatever. Bad and scandalous ones for sure, but I'm not so sure fake is a correct term.

You seem to be intimating that to be a good Christian means you must be perfect. That's wrong. It is about striving toward perfection, which is nothing other than spiritual communion with Christ. We do this through humility and obedience to Christ's will as found in His teachings.

At last you plucked up some courage and did the thing you had been dreaming about your entire life. hahahaha Very well, if it made you happy.....:):):)


Of course but it concerns bad teachers while I am certainly not one. :):):):)


I support tolerance and keeping to your own business. Live and let live - that should be your motto. Are you happy when your enemies here are telling you what you have to do with and in your sinful life?

Not perfect. Just not acting as a long term pattern of behaviour in direct opposition to the core teachings. Don't you agree?


You can follow ten commandments, you can follow a thousand. There's one that stands above all the others. That commandment is "don't be a cűnt".

LOL!!!!!!!!!!?

Another one: Find the right hole and multiply!

I have no enemies here, I love everyone here and they all love me.


Keep praying about it joun, and with the Lords help you can overcome it.

Especially Lazarus. :)

Some people like me seem to have aged like fine wine.
Harry on the other hand aged like milk ... he got sour and chunky.
But I still love getting under his skin.
How about you P, how's your garden doing ?

Aged like fish more like.

Kippered herring is a delicious dish.
Your wrinkled up old ass is like a box of raisins.
Every box of raisins is a tragic tale of grapes that could have been wine.
Where did you go wrong joun ?

Amen and God bless.

You however are a three week old half eaten tin of tuna.

That should be the goal. Life isn't static, we're going forward or backward. Forward to a life lived in Absolute Truth is the path toward fulfillment and happiness.


God bless you, ptak!

Amen and God bless.[quote=johnny reb]Keep praying about it joun, and with the Lords help you can overcome it.

The age will do it, with the help of the Lord;;;)))

A nice concept, but what is absolute truth?

God and His design. How this is manifested in the created world is too voluminous to list, but it can be summed up as Natural Law.

Find the right hole and multiply!

And here I was sticking up for you when someone said that you smelled and I said, "Like sht he does."

When I saw that "sticking up" I wasn't sure where you were going with it...

But you did know where I was going when I referred to him smelling like doo doo.

I sure did but I wasn't sure if you meant his own doo doo or the other guy's.

His boyfriends ka ka.
Where did the bum go anyways ?

Something we can barely glimpse the truth of. Certainly more than just this and more than humans have yet discovered.
