I've got a new thought on my mind. Christians, everywhere, ARE NOT ACTING LIKE CHRISTIANS!
I've got some news that might be very shocking to many of you, but if you are consistantly drinking, smoking, doing drugs, having sex and all other kinds of bull crap and you don't feel as if you're doing anything wrong, then stop calling yourself a Christian, because you're making me look bad, and I don't appreciate it at all. Having the time of your life and then "repenting" afterwards is not being a good Christian, it's called being a hypocrite. If you aren't even attempting to stop your bad habits, then I respectfully ask you to never call yourself a Christian until you actually "want" to get your freakin' act together. Being a Christian is not about doing whatever you want and being able to tell people that they are going to Hell because they don't believe in God, it's true, but it isn't your job to tell them that straight up to their faces, so don't do it....EVER.
We have fallen so far from what being Christian truly means, that it is just ridiculous. The Christian people use to be warriors. They were one of the greatest groups of people in the world because they fought for their rights to live out their beliefs and now all we do is sit in a corner while people take away our rights. It's sad, and we don't even respect our fellow Christians of different denominations. We make jokes about each other and speak badly about each other. And in reality, we shouldn't even be seperated in any way at all. We may be Baptist, Pentecostal, Methodist, or Catholic, but we should really just be Christians, meaning, we should follow the Bible as it's written and see one another as brothers and sisters, come together and forget that we're different, because we really aren't that different from one another. What I'm really trying to say is, shut up and don't act snobby because nobody is better than anyone else.
Going back to the "respect" thing, don't bash or criticize my religion or beliefs if you're going to say something that is incorrect. The most irritating thing to me is when someone tries to bash God by turning Scripture around on me, but they take it so far out of context that I'm pretty sure that they've never even opened a Bible. If you're going to say something, don't be ignorant about it. Chances are that people aren't going to show you any respect if you don't know what you're talking about.
List of things every Non-Believer should know:
1. God does not cause bad things to happen.
2. God doesn't "hate" anyone.
3. Homosexuality is a sin (I don't care if you use that Greek/Hebrew language doesn't absolutely translate to English bull crap, you're wrong, get over it.) But since it's a sin, remember, God forgives sins.
4. If it is against the law of the land, you're committing a sin...which is bad.
5. If a someone who claims to be Christian tells you that you're going to Hell, it is safe to assume that they are not really a Christian.
6. If you don't think God is real because you can't see Him, try to see Him without using your eyes...just think about it for a while, it'll make sense soon enough.
I think this is all I've got for the night/morning....so if I missed anything or pushed your buttons too far, feel free to comment, message me on facebook, or text me and we'll discuss stuff.
So in closing, Christians, read the Bible more and pay attention to Jesus' teachings better than you currently are....and Non-Believers, give us TRUE Christians a chance, you might like what you see once you find the genuine article.
