He's not ready to turn his life over to God yet...don't push him, he will know when the time is right for him.

You are obviously not even searching for the truth. If you truly were a "Christian" then you would love your brothers and sisters in Christ.\nI thought your other question was a rouse. Get real would you!

Jesus is the one true God. Some people think that he was just a prophet from God, but he actually died for our sins. I mean the Jews rejected him, but what he went through at the cross, no one would have survived a part of what he went through. I am a struggling christian I admitt it, I am, because I am just not use to all the things that we r suppose to obey. But I am learning slowly. Hey but at least I am still learning more and more about God that I thought I understood before. The Bible is all the proof you need. I would sudgest to get a New King James Version to help you understand the words a little. I even have trouble understanding it. Hey I'm 15 I can have an escuse to have a little trouble. ~LOL~ Also look at Probvers, Acts, and Revlations. They will tell you of how he died for you, what is coming for us in the rapture, and how we should act as christians. I hope you take of what I said into concideration.

I became a Christian only two years ago, at age 39.  I was raised in an unbelieving family.  I have met many people who feel as you do.  And I have seen the problem from the outside looking in.  \n\nTwo years ago I received a beautiful testimony of the lordship of Jesus Christ, delivered by the Holy Spirit.  From there, I had to deal with churches and christians.  It was often unpleasant.  \n\nChurch services were boring and irrelevant.  Nobody talked about Jesus, or even seemed to be very aware of Him.  People were gossipy, uncharitable, judgmental, sometimes underhanded and just plain cruel.  People were often suspicious and rejecting of me, as if they couldn't accept that somebody could sincerely become a christian without already having been one their whole life.  \n\nMany christians are obsessed with power, authority, and wielding it over others, even while they are saying that they are full of the milk of human kindness.  Just look at what they do in the name of politics--as if Jesus was going to manifest himself either as a democrat or a republican.  What a joke!  Many also think that having money and objects is a measure of their worthiness before God, despite the Bible clearly saying that this is not necessarily so.  \n\nI heard stories from friends who had been taken advantage of financially, sexually, and emotionally by pastors and co-parishioners.  These stories broke my heart.  You probably saw and perhaps experienced a lot of this too.  You were on the inside looking out; I was on the outside looking in.  \n\nHow could I reconcile all this with my testimony?  The great thing is, I didn't have to.  None of this nonsense is Jesus Christ, and quite obviously so.  I only have to accept Jesus as my savior, not this other stuff.  My creed is, "Thank you Lord God for raising my Savior Jesus from the dead.  I pray for His blessing to be mine.  Have mercy on me and my sins in Jesus' name."  \n\nThe Bible tells you what you need to know about Jesus.  Read it with an eye to learning what He said, to whom, how, and why He said it.  You'll see He wasn't nuts about the religious authority of the day, because it was...well, it was a lot like religions are now--full of self-important, money-and-power obsessed hypocrites.  \n\nJesus strongly urged that the individual have a relationship with God, not with a church.  So study and pray and ask God for everything you need, including a sincere and personal relationship with Him, and for a new perspective on your unfortunate religious past.  \n\nFollow what the word of God says about having a relationship with Him, such as loving Him, loving your neighbor as yourself, and serving others, particularly those who are sick, oppressed, imprisoned, and poor.  Don't confuse the rules and personalities of organized religion with your testimony of the salvation you receive from Jesus.  \n\nDo try to find some Christians you can hang with, whose company you enjoy.  Go to church, and try several of them out.  Don't think you have to find the right religion or the perfect church--it isn't out there.  But do stay away from churches that teach nonbiblical doctrines or that tolerate immoral behavior (again, use the Bible as your guide).  \n\nPray for God to take away your hatred, and to give you a spirit of forgiveness towards those who hurt you.  You're not saying "it's okay" that these people hurt you.  What you are doing is laying claim to the fresh start that Jesus offers through forgiveness.  If you want God to forgive you, you need to forgive others.  \n\nAnd realize something about being an adult, which is that you have to make your own way and create your own good character in spite of what obstacles others have thrown your way.  Don't fixate on how you were done wrong, because this is only going to make you miserable, and stunt your emotional maturity.  \n\nChristian churches can be a pain, but Jesus is delightful.  He had such

Hi HAresh,\n You have asked for a lot of informaiton. I do not know where you live, but if you live in a country where christianity is restricted, it may be difficult to find a christian pastor or leader to help answer your questions. But first, if it is possible, then try to find someone near you , so you can spend all the time you want talking to someone.\n\nFirst of all the God of Christianity is a God of love. He sent his son to help us because we were sinners, and did many things wrong. We deserved to be punished, but Jesus took our place for that punishment to show his love for us. If we tell God we are sorry for the bad things we have done, and trust Jesus for his sacrifice for us, we will be accepted into God's family and live forever in heaven with him. \n\n Some people pray to earn their way to heaven. This way, if they get to heaven, they can say they earned it. We pray because we want to be close to God. We cannot earn our way to God. Jesus took this work away, and replaced it with his love. Love is the way to heaven. \n\nIf you cannot find a bible near you, please let me k now and  I will send you one....\n\nIf you would like a free copy of my book, I can send it to you electronically.  It tells my story as a christian. It is written in story form, so it is not just a book of facts. You learn as you read the story. Let me know if you want a copy.... see my link... don't worry about any money.... God's love is always free to those who are looking sincerely.\n\nwrite me if you wish.. ask all your questions.\n\nmtioran@yahoo.com

I follow the Bible.  I try my hardest to be what Christ would consider a Christian, but I will eternally fall short as long as I try to be Christian.  I have to rely on my faith to save by the grace of God that is granted to me through the belief that Christ is the sacrificial lamb that died upon the cross to rise on the third day and claim victory over death for not only my sins, but the sins of humanity.  I pray that Christ counts that as Christian enough to be granted eternal salvation.

I am a christian too and i think love is a very important part of our faith. We would not be here except for the love of God.\n\nI think often time its just because we are judgemental. We believe anything and follow those who claim to lead us spiritually blindly. \n\nEven if some of us are told for example that its a sin for a woman to wear a trouser, and that people who do so will go to hell. We take it hook, line and sinker and will fight and try to convert everyone we feel does these things. \n\nBut for me i think it is out of ignorance, a judgemental spirit, inferiority complex and a false interpretation of the word of God.\n\nIf some of us would just read the book of first John, we won't behave the way we do. \n\n1John.4:7-12\n\n"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.\nHe who does not love does not know God, for God is love.\nIn this the love of God was manifested towards us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.\nIn this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.\nBeloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.\nNo one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us."\n\nMany who claim to be christian would be shocked to find out that by their actions they don't love God. No one has seen God at any time, If we can't love those we see daily, how can we claim to love a God we have never seen before and those we claim are lost in our opinions, if we hate them and he the almighty God had to love them to save them.

God would never betray you, not ever.  His promise of that is written in the Bible.  Therefore, I will ever remain a Christian.  :)

I am a christian.  And I respect you and what your trying to do.  I think it is always good to ask questions.  People should be ope minded about Christianity.  Telling people about God does not make them bad, not at all!

First of all, let me tell you this....A sincere, faithful Christian who practices what God/Jesus really teaches in the Bible, would not belittle you or judge you.  The Bible tells us to first remove the "sin" from ourselves before we go pointing fingers and judging others.  ALL of us are sinners, NONE of us have the right to belittle, humiliate, harrass or put down anyone else.  The way to spread God's love and word is not through hard pressure but, rather, gentle discussion, an offering of sharing and prayer.  Although I don't feel it would be right to report them, I would nicely ask them to stop and to go back and read their Bibles about how it tells us to be Christ's disciples.  God bless you and I pray you will find your faith in your own journey in your time and in your way!  And, by the way, even Jesus has a sense of humor...he has to!  Just because we are Christians doesn't mean we have to be prudes or "serious" all the time.  I can laugh it up with the best of them and Jesus is #1 in my life!

I know exactly what you are talking about!! I am a christian...really trying to be. but there is one thing that i hate...it's not about God anymore. More and more people makes religion fit them...and maybe I am one of them. So I am sticking to this now: God is love, Jesus came to set us free. Love people as you love yourself. Speak to God everyday, because He will let you know what is wrong or right. Trust only in Him. Christianity is not about laws, its not about what is wrong or right. It doesn't judge, not suppose to in any case. Just love God and listen to His voice speaking trough the Bible

Ask Christ into your heart. Believe that he died for your sins and will forgive you and he is the risen Lord. Read the Bible and allow the Holy Spirit to work in your heart. Find someone who is a Christian who can answer your many questions you will have. Find a good church that teaches truth from the bible. Continue to pray and strive to become more like Jesus by reading the bible and listening to Him in prayer.\n---In your question you said "REAL" Christian..These below are of "real" or true Christian ways. \n1. go to church. (the church is the body of Christ, everyone who is a Christian is a part of this, going to church can help you because there are some or many Christians there)\n2. hate everyone who is not of your faith.(not true)\n3. try and convert everyone who is not of your faith.(if you believe and love them you would, but you do not need to make everyone exactly like what you think a Christian is)\n4. call gays bad. (love the sinner hate the sin)\n5. be intolerant of everyone whom you don't like.\n6. fear god (true)\n7. love god (true)\n8. hate the devil (true)\n9. be understanding of hell. \n10. be the best person you can be (Jesus died for all the bad we do..wouldn't you want to do what you can for him?)\n11. don't over due it, as deeds don't get you into heaven. (Most believe we are saved by God's grace and we couldn't do it on our own because we are sinners by nature)

I hope you are not apologizing for being a Christian.  That is what your "question" sounds like.  No need for that.  If, on the other hand, you are saying that you are apologizing in Christian manner, I accept.  God Bless.  It does take great restraint to keep from answering in kind with some of the yahoos who get on this page.
