what are christians doing?????????

Some people think that they are better than others because they do or don't do something, I am a christian and my classmate and personal friend is muslim, his name is Ali but everyone calls him Ari (from Ares the god of war in greek mythology since i live in Greece), his father is a muslim and his mother was a christian but apparently became a buddhist sometime, differences in religion never stopped us from being friends and his parents are fine so I can't understand why some people have a problem with others, as I see it you've got to be pretty arrogant to say stuff like "hah, he sucks, I'm way better than him" or "there's no way I can hang out with someone like you", when you criticize someone you invade on God's territory, its His job to judge. That goes for non-christians too of course. I want to see an age when you tell someone that you believe in God, that you are a christian and pray often and he doesn't make fun of you for doing so and push you away, I honestly do. Of course, what I said applies to me as well, no one (human) is perfect, its not like I've never criticized or made fun of anyone or any group of people but I'd prefer not to do that since I would not like being criticized or made fun of as well. I try not to offend anyone so I don't get offended myself.

We are not supposed to love everyone. Jesus said we were to love thy neighbor as thy self. He then explains exactly who is our neighbor and who isn't. Read the story of the Good Samaritan in Luke chapter 10 verses 25 thru 37. Figure out who is your neighbor and then love them. As Jesus said; "Go, and do thou likewise". Art

Hi Beertjie, I was raised a Christian and though I rarely attend church anymore and have many views that are different from most Christians, I continue to read the Bible. I wanted to respond here because I agree with you that this is the kind of conduct that turn people against Christianity. I have always been impressed with the teachings of Christ but often find that it is the non-Christians who follow them more so than Christians. Blessings.

I understand what you are saying friend.........this happens many a times, i have seen women fighting during church feast and fair over crowded food courts and who wants to get their pack first all in the church premises........it is so sad that Christians often forget the mission that Christ has given to each and every one of us on this planet.......infact we are not even ready to do 1/4th of what god has asked us to do......he said go and preach the gospel to the WORLD but the fact is we are not able to be effective even in our immediate neighborhood forget about the world........ I feel it is high time Christians stop criticizing people within our own sect and join hands together to preach the gospel.......all i would say is if you cant preach the word atleast don't be a log and obstacle in front of people who are doing it.....
