Half the reason I've made it through the hells of my life is because of my faith. Any person that says they are a Christian can't take that label lightly. You can't pick and choose based on what suits you. For instance, you can't say you are pro-life and expect to use Christianity as backing if you support the death penalty.

There are so many things to go on for this but the biggest thing I see from the ones I speak of is this. You look at every focus that carries Christian ideas with them and it's always about what others do and not what they can do or should do. Everything is more of a focus against what others do. Maybe they forget that the Bible tells us that we are not the ones that can condemn them for sin. Casting shadows of guilt seems to be these types modus operandi.

You are a Christian in the same way that my mother was. She taught Sunday School for decades. One of the tenets of her own faith was not to worry about what other ppl were doing; focus on your own behavior and relationship with God, and thereby be an example to others.

Their language, their attitudes towards others, their lack of following the teachings of Jesus. I’m no longer a Christian, but I know those who follows Christ, like my parents, are a true example of Christianity and many of those on here, who claim to be Christians, do not act like Jesus.

I always find it quite remarkable that agnostics, deists, and atheists on message boards often know more about Christianity than those who claim to be devout practicing Christians.

In verses 18–20, Peter has been discussing why and how Christians must submit to the human authority of their masters. This is a necessary part of submitting to the true authority: God Himself. Peter wrote that enduring pain and sadness for unjust suffering at the hands of human masters is commendable before God. In verse 21, he makes a bold and surprising statement: All Christians are called to endure suffering for doing what is good. We are Jesus-followers, after all, and that's what Jesus did.

Which means Christians should try to live like Christ.

Which means we should follow Jesus's pattern of life and not demand things one is entitled to.


Sorry Phan it doesn't mean we should emulate Jesus.

I agree and for the record I never claimed to be devout but just a practicing Christian.

I am not going to begrudge anyone for not being an expert on Christianity. I have taken classes on Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Islam, and Buddhism, and I am not even remotely close to being able to speak on those religions with credible authority.

It just strikes me that agnostics on message boards often seem to know more about Christianity than message board Christians do.

He’s a practicing Christian that thinks the Bible doesn’t tell him to emulate Jesus? Huh?

Organized Religion is a path to evil

believe whatever is in your heart

Nothing wrong with that opinion, but....

In the Eastern Orthodox tradition the emphasis is not on theology, but on the correct way to glorify God. The focus is on ceremony, with an emphasis on the mysticism of the sacrament, the richness of the liturgy, and the beauty and holiness of sacred objects such as icons and mosaics.

That is the kind of thing that requires communal participation and a purposeful sense of aesthetics and dedication to the mysticism of ceremony, icons, and the church itself.
