Christian Life! or fantasy?

Christian Life!
​

Many people in the world, more today than ever, thinks a Christian life is a fantasy or make belief. Some people dont think we should live like Christ but live how they want to live as long as they don't harm or be bad. many people think living like a Chritian is to hard and quckly turn away to do there own thing. Some christians has some idea, but not fully understand the meaning of being Christ like.

To be Christ like, is to learn how He was and is. And if this is the Christ like person Gods wants us to be. Then let's see what Christ wants us to beleive, to have faith and to bury his actions in our hearts and apply them to our Christ like walk.

I am in Christ. I live in Him and He lives in me.
I know the relief of being cleansed from personal sins.
I am able to live above sin's dominating control.
I have immediate access to the Father through prayer.
I can understand the Scriptures.
I am able to forgive--and should forgive--whoever wrongs me.
I have the capacity to bear fruit, daily, continually, routinely.
I possess at least one (sometimes more than one) spiritual gift.
I worship with joy and with purpose.
I find the church vital, not routine or boring.
I have a faith to share with others.
I love and need other people.
I look forward to having close fellowship with fellow Christians.
I am able to obey the teaching of the Word of God.
I continue to learn and grow toward maturity.
I can endure suffering and hardship without losing heart.
I depend and trust in my Lord for daily strength and provisions.
I can know God's will.
I live in anticipation of Christ's return.
I have the assurance of heaven after I die.

It's hardly suprising really, many might not like what i have to say and no doubt i will be scorned because of it (probably won't be around here much longer), but it appears to me that there is so much confusion over what the Holy Scriptures are actually telling the reader, i mean it seems to me that you can justify any interpretation within the Bible to suit one's agenda and the Bible will back you up. What makes anyone's faith or interpretation of scripture the truth over anothers?, Christians all around the world are reading the same book but interpreting it the way they think it should be interpreted, so confusing really. here's one, how can Jesus Christ and God be the same spirit person?, why did Jesus say that the Father is greater than I, they both can be in union with each other but they can not be co-eternal as some teach or say because how can a Son be the same age as his Father?, ridiculous, also Jesus died so according to that doctrine God also died but how can God die?, ridiculous if you ask me, if God died then who ressurected the Christ/God?, odd to say the least. Catholics believe that God and Jesus are the same person many on this site also claim that fact but yet they scorn the Catholics, hypocrites.

Also, when i di,e dust is what i am and dust is what i shall return to, the soul itself is sinning and surely dies.

Thats exactly what I'm saying, and we need to question it. Do we live by what we think is right, or actually live by what God wants us to live right?

Do we live by what we think is right, or actually live by what God wants us to live right?

Well that is an interesting question and food for thought, how God wants us to live right is based on which interpretation one thinks is right according to many christians from different christian organizations, it's almost a rhetorical question i think.

Also i think in my previous post the word hypocrite was too strong a word to use, perhaps i should stick to confusing again, i can't amend that post for some reason so as to edit it for clarity.

Not many are going to respond to the message get saved so you can suffer for Christ.

On the flip side better to suffer in this life for Christ than to suffer for eternity without Christ.

For the cause of Christ
