Many things in the bible have leaned me further away from Christianity and leaves me confused. We pray to jesus and have to be like him yet, I see 10% of Christians LIVING like him. Must we not be like him and learn? To be a good christian we must not just "believe in jesus and live life" .. We also have to abide by the rules he gave us.
Who is jesus?
(John 5:30) ‘I (Jesus) by myself can do nothing – as I hear I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my will, but the will of thy who has sent me’.
(John 17:3) ‘This is eternal life, so that you may know there is one true God, and Jesus Christ, who Thou has sent.’
(Mathew 19:16-17) ‘One of the persons approaches Jesus, and says ‘Good Master, what good things shall I do, that I shall attain eternal life.’ And Jesus said unto him, ‘Why do you call me good? For there is none good, except One, that is God – And if you want to enter life, keep the commandments’.

“Whosoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.” John 3:4
"your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear” (Isa. 59:2)
mathew 12:36
I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak,
Did jesus die for our sins or will we be judged?

Why do we not follow jesus the way he wants us to
Mathew 5:48
"Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect"
Why do we drink alcohol and Muslims dont
Ephesians 5:18
"And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit,"
(Deuteronomy 14:8) ‘And the pig is unclean to you, because though it has a division in the horn of its foot, its food does not come back; their flesh may not be used for food or their dead bodies touched by you.’
1 Corinthians 6:9
"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,"
makes sense why Muslims practice this yet we make fun of them..
Corinthians 11:6
"For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head."
why do you hate our muslim sisters for when god tells our women to do so
-----------
Jesus always greeted people with "peace be upon you"
tell me why muons always say that when they meet someone
many many verses about praying to god while face on ground.. Prostration
explain why we don't do these things please

“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.” Mathew 5:17
why do some say, the Old Testament is now to be followed?
Matthew 4:4: “…Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.”
“If you love Me, keep My commandments” (John 14:15)
why do so many Christians eat pork, drink alcohol etc etc.
we make the Muslims look good when they follow our book and they're book better than us.
---------
why do Muslims follow more things mentioned in the Koran and bible and Torah more than us and Jews?
why do we make fun of them for doing so when it is us who should be doing.
Mathew 5:44
"But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,"
There are so many good muslims in this world.Kind hearted people that by seeing their attitude(only attitude to help,not religious faith of islam) so many Christians can learn brotherly love.But the doctrine of islam is the problem.Nowhere in quran is described about the life of muhammad their prophet.History tells about him as a very cruel man,and a pedophile and all kind of weird wicked things he did.But about Jesus there are many passages and quran itself says that Jesus will return and defeat satan and then rule this world.And that He is the one going to judge this world,not muhammad and not even allah of islam,which is simply verified and confirmed same with Holy Bible(about Jesus coming back to Judge).
Jesus never married,He lived among the poor and under privileged and maintained a Prayerful Perfect sinless life by abiding in a constant fellowship or relationship with YHWH(God the Father). He died for the sins of mankind to set mankind free.muhammad didn't nor are miracles happening in muhammad's name.muhammad was married.
In the name of Jesus Miracles are happening all around the world,and people are ven brought back to life which even satan cannot do.
Jesus said to living people "Peace be upon you" not dead people.So that they can have Peace.
quran teaches and muslims say "peace be upon him" mentioning dead people.Pointless.
The teachings of Jesus and the verses you quoted from Holy Scripture are told to be followed when we surrender to Jesus.
There are no Perfect Christians.Everybody is running to receive Glory of God-Jesus Christ.And by Grace of God,Christians overcome this world and by Grace of God are people able to follow the Doctrines of Christ,because the less, people love the world,they will be able to follow Christian Doctrines.That's a mystery solved for you now
Taste and see that the Lord God is Good.Accept Jesus as your Personal savior and give your Heart to Him when you are convinced.Jesus died and rose from the dead to justify the freedom of those who accepted him as Personal Savior.If you read the Holy Scripture none of the sacrificial animals in Old Testament came back to life since they were sacrificed instead of man's fault.They were supposed to stay dead.But Jesus is the only man(God in flesh) who died as sacrifice and rose up from the dead.And God raised Him up from the dead and Jesus Himself came back to life with Gladness to justify people who accepted him as Savior.(Jesus is not thinking of His justification but our justification,even when He had to die without getting justice for living sinless before God,because He had to become the Holy Sacrifice to redeem mankind)
And when we follow this Unconditional Loving God who didn't care about his dignity and came down to Heal us who are unworthy,His Love changes us.In islam,you serve allah(of islam) as a slave.Its a slave and master relationship.
But Holy Scripture teaches us that God call us His Children when we come to Jesus.
God is Love.
Discern
Come to Jesus when you are convinced,He will never forsake you.
Living for Jesus does not make you accomplish anything in this world,but in the world to come as Sons & Daughters of God.
Because He is the Living Lord God,King of Kings and Lord of Lords and He is going to return just as the Holy Scripture prophecise it, to gather His Saints,and judge this world eventually.
Be one among that Holy get together living a life for Him.
A Christian struggles to follow Christ till he/she is taken from this world.A real Christian can never rest in this world as he/she has been changed by the Love of God which pushes him/her to move forward till the day he/she leaves this world to Heaven.
Read Holy Bible,Pray and meditate on Holy Scripture and God a lot.He will speak to you,because He is alive.
If you have a Genuine desire to know Jesus or whether its all true,God will touch in His time,the Perfect time and you will never be the same and, you will never feel really alone even if you have literally become lonely.
God Bless.
