Christians? What are we really?

[JanieDough]

A Christian is some one who believes that Christ is the son of God and died on the Cross for their sins and is their Savior, and that through him you get to heaven.

A good Christian may be something way more, but all you need to be a Christian is to accept Christ as your Savior.

I'm probably the only Baptist with a bumper sticker that reads, "God, please deliver me from your followers." There are, unfortunately, always going to be those who are "so heavenly-minded that they're no earthly good." And there are those who preach hate in the name of one who preached about loving one's neighbor, showing good will to one's enemies, and leaving judgment to God. From about high school until my mid twenties, those were the only kind of Christians I tended to see, it seems.

But I personally have seen those who have gone out on missions, helping to clean up after Katrina, making great personal sacrifices to do so, going out to Africa to build schools and dig wells, at personal risk of life. And the Word was shared only with those who asked, because you just can't share the Word, not truly, without looking to the more practical needs of people. Those are who true Christians are.

This is my first "intellectual" post on a forum in like forever! So here goes nothing.

You may be thinking to yourself. "Stupid christians, hippocrit!"
I totally agree with that statement. However. not ALL christians are like that. There a few that mess it up for the rest of us who are labeled under that. I am a christian. I do not go around doing drugs, having sex, or swearing. I just don't do that because we are commanded not to. However, it is just like.. say.. a cheerleeder. Alot of them are nice girls but they have the sterotype of being a slut, blonde, preppy, white trash.. etc.
All I am saying is that we believe in one god and we get to him through faith alone and you can't take just one "christian" and judge the rest of them off that single person!

You could pick any religion and find an example of a bufoon who gives the rest of the religion a bad name, or who people will use as an example of what is wrong with a particular religion. But really it's people who give anything and everything a bad name as the majority of people who are supposed to be devote, don't come anywhere close to the best standards religion is supposed to represent. Possibly a very small minority do.
