Seems to me, most of the people don't know what a TRUE Christain is, do they?

A true Christian...knows God's word,that Jesus Christ is our Savior,and tries to live their life according to the bible...but we are all human and all fail at times..thats when we turn to God and ask for forgivness...get back up and follow Christ's path...Also we love one another as Christ has loved us!!!

Peeps practice their religion in hopes of either understanding something ( as in a wisdom practice) or for attainment of something (as in a salvation practice) if they achieved complete understanding of those things then they wouldn't need it.\n\nI'd say even theologist don't fully understand it, but only those who are one with the way, whatever the way may be.

No you are not ignorant.  You just don't want to understand, but that is OK, we don't have to understand everything in life, if we do, then what else are we to do with out life!  we need the challenge to discover the unknown, or misunderstood!\n\nLet me try it in a different way, many other members put it so well, so I try it a bit different.  \n\nSuppose a person's father is a King, what would the son of the King be!   that is how can Jesus Christ be a God.\n\nI hope that helped, at least a little.

Christians have always labeled people with different ideas and beliefs as pagan, savages, etc. etc.\n\nMany Christians have an honest desire to help people, but most just can't accept that they might be wrong. They think people who don't go along with the Christian movement deserve to burn in hell.

The true Christian knowledge taught by Jesus was not understandable by everyone nor was everyone deserving of a full explanation. if you were spiritually ready you would get it. he said "cast not your pearls before swine" this was kind of spiritual elitism and so was  later removed from the so-called teaching of Christ so absolutely anybody could get to be a christian with no effort or knowledege. that is why it got so popular. But true Christanity does have secrets that only certain people can get.

Its mainly part of history.  Back in the old days I think there was mainly just catholic, and baptist....well, people start to have their own interpretations of the bible,a nd that is why there are so many denominations today.  It would be nice for us to all believe the same, but it is just human nature not to.  Nobody is perfect but Christ.  Our goal is to strive to be like him, but he knows the we are not, which is the reason that he died on the cross for us.  Like I said earlier, just human nature to believe differently.  I don't beleive humans will ever be unanimous on anything because we are not perfect as Christ is.

You have some interesting points.  I think the people who you are focusing on are those sadly-narrowminded folks who seem to think their own little brand of Jesus worship is the one and only.  Frankly, my theology and Catholicism are miles apart, yet I have great respect and admiration for their institution and the great strength of their faith.  \n\nAnd as far as Judiasm goes, I find their beliefs run much closer to mine than even some aspects of Christianity--at least the brand some of those same folks preach.  To me, I feel sorry for Jews who are still waiting for the Messiah.  To me, I got a two thousand year head start on knowing and loving Him.\n\nLove--real, unconditional love--must be at the very core of any faith, at least any that puts Jesus Christ at the head of it.  I think there are too many people who love to talk the talk but just cannot bring themselves to walk the walk.  The famous bumper sticker, "What Would Jesus Do" is far too often displayed by people who don't even have the faintest notion of what that is.\n\nJust remember--just because someone has the loudest voice doesn't mean they are telling the truth.  They're just loud.

Yes. I believe so. These people don't know the real truth behind all of it that Jesus came down from Heaven to save us all from sin. I just hope that at one point they will come to realize that what they're doing is wrong and will come to the point of repentance and forgiveness.

We have to keep in mind that we have all had different experiences.  Not everyone has the kind of heart and openess to believe in Christ's love as you or I.  The message of Jesus and God's extention to mankind can still reach out to these people in mysterious, deeply personal ways.

No, those are fanatics of christianity.  Christianity is supposed to teach tolerance and acceptance.  A true christian is not supposed to such a thing.  Those people are also close minded morons.  Ignoring them is the best way to handle them.

A lot of people including some who call themselves "Christian" are confused about what the true meaning of religion is. \n\nThe true meaning is a very positive one that is needed for all of humanity. \n\nThis is what anyone who calls their self a "Christian" should know about the meaning of religion as it pertains to following the commandments of Christ:\n\n"Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their affliction and to keep oneself unstained by the world." -James 1, 27\n\nThis Yahoo news article is an example of the Christian religion in action:\nhttp://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060415/ap_on_re_us/skid_row_easter

Maybe they know more about religion than some religious people. But I doubt they know anything about salvation.

Because christains are taught to have blind faith and not to think too deeply about the reality of our world but to just denouce non believing behavior as the work of the devil.  Simple beliefs for simple minds I guess.

Christians are very ignorant of other faiths.  I suppose because they're been raised to think that theirs is the only true faith and that everyone else needs to be converted to Christianity.\n\nIt's getting better though.

There are so many misconceptions and lies in these answers, I don't even know where to start.....\n\nIn answer to the QUESTION at hand here, my OPINION is that they are very Christian people who try their very hardest to worship God as he WANTS to be worshipped. FURTHERMORE, I think that noone's opinion here really counts... you should go to the source, get the facts and then decide for yourself because these people OBVIOUSLY do NOT know what the heck they are talking about.

It is about false Teaching. They are using that to confuse and mislead people. The true Gospel is about Jesus christ.

I think that many people who claim some form of Christianity as their chosen religion are not terribly interested in living a truly christian life. I mean, religion is for many people an excuse, or a comfort blanky, or something to that effect, but is not a way of life, as it should be. People shouldn't only be Christains on sunday, or saturday, or whenever. It should be a part of the way you think, the decisions you make, and the goals we have in life. So in answer to your question, yes, I think that many of us as Christians have forgotten who we are and why we're here. That's probably one of the reasons that the world is in such bad shape.
