Discriminative Christians

I never really knew what a Christian was and up until recently I thought they were only kind, loving, helpful people, accepting of others and their differences, only trying to introduce God to those who are un-aware of his Glory. I never imagined so many would be so prejudice and judgemental of others. My belief and all of my faith
is in God and Jesus Christ but the prejudism I see against others makes me wonder why I would follow such a cruel religion and the true answer is I wouldn't.


I came to know God and Jesus Christ not by any Church, not any preacher, not by any book. It was just them and I and they came. This God I know is loving and fierce
and the Jesus I know understanding and kind, not condemning and hateful, not prejudice and I wouldn't use his words to take down others or make them feel less of a Christian, or further from the Lord and all those who didn't understand would you not try to bring closer to the Lord rather than push them further away?


I wish I could bring so many people to know Jesus how I know and follow because I believe that so many more people would be drawn to him to follow him, He is Fair and Just and because of the discrimination I've seen from so many people who follow Christianity I no longer wish to call myself Christian, but instead I think just a Follower of Christ, my religion is in God and may Jesus continue to be my high Priest forever and always. May he open the eyes and the ears of those who are blinded by the flesh, to listen to the Spirit. I thought people who know the Bible better could teach me something but I've found that more only dishearten me.

ALL Christians are not the same and thank you to the few who understand for being here for others alike, your presence helps keep faith and lets us know we're not alone.


All we need is God and Jesus Christ!

I am in the exact same boat my friend. i too only recently came to Christ almost a year and a half ago. And just like you i did not seek help from people, what i mean is i thought to myself who better to teach me the ways of God than God himself? so I secluded myself in my home for a long period of time, many months spending every waking hour with God. getting to know him, learning from him the deep things of God and the secrets of his heart. in doing so I fell in love with him and he and i created a strong bond and he molded me to see, treat and care for others with love. even though i still have a long way to go i know what it means to be a christian. sadly i share the same sadness you feel when you see us so called Christians, but don't give up on being a christian. the Christians were created long ago by the work of Jesus and the building of his church.

Very profound indeed and unfortunately true,many people and churches and Christians have become very judgemental and condemning and it hurts me. It's seemingly the opposite to what Jesus taught us..we are ALL sinners and need gods forgiveness..we have all failed him. PS your baby is cute as a button!

I laughed at me, here, Mrs Lovely.

It can be assumed that, all those who learned from God in churches and its denominations are like that (me included).

I think this: "...I never imagined so many would be so prejudiced and judgemental of others..." Serves as a bulletproof jacket. I will not go to walk with pentocostals, because I spent 13 years with one who was like that and gave me 3 children, for and example.

I will not kiss and hug a married woman, because I don´t like another man do that to me (neither to the one who chose me to live with).

I will not kiss a person who got AIDS, less I mention I wouln´t shake hands if I was informed he/she has such problems and deseases.

The thing is MANY don´t say their truth. We lived life guessing and trying, and some founded out the got AIDS (and other diseases) when kissing or having intercourses with persons they didn´t know well, Up to the day they knew, from a test, they were sick because of their having being in contact with those they should have avoid.

The spitirit ,as the body, could be poluted by indirect contact, that´s why some invented denominations.

I laughed because, like you, I don´t like being called "Christian", and several WHO DOESN´T KNOW ME WELL, had called me "brother" and had seen me preaching in the streets. Ha! Ha! Does it make me "Christian"?

When some asked me, like yestarday my brother´s GF asked. I said I have no religion, although I call myself a "cristiano malandro", just to say I´m not perfect, that I don´t want that hypocritical label, that I do like things I don´t plan to leave yet, as long as I have this body or as long God (or Jesus) had me alive & kicking.
