I admit, it's very hard for me and it's probably going to take a long time..\nbut, through Christ, I can forgive them...\n\nGod says "Bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also MUST do."\n\n(Colossians 3:13)\n\nIf God forgives child molesters, so should we as His followers.\n\nForgives- sure.. Trust, however, is a different case.

I can see why you feel this way. I am a Christian but the ones who say they are Christians are they using it as a name tag or are they really saved or not and living the walk instead of just talking the talk? People should not hide the fact that they are Christians or saved either for that matter. But we have to understand as Christians or saved people that sometimes the only Jesus people see is us! Are we doing and living the way Jesus would and treating others the way he would have .... WWJD What would Jesus do is something to ask ourselves before doing anything that may be questionable in God's eyes. Do we treat others the way Jesus would? Sorry I am rambling on here so i will get off my soap box now lol. Sorry! Real Christians should not have affairs either or ever. But we are not perfect either and can slip up and make mistakes and err but we need to get out of it and ask for forgiveness from God and move on and not live any longer that way ! God hates divorce and adultery!

I'm not sure what "real" means in this context.  It seems like people shouldn't sweat it too much.  But I guess if someone is looking for some kind of "official" imprimatur, Catholicism would be a logical candidate, as according to the Bible it was the enduring church founded by Jesus through Peter.  Subsequent spinoffs were created much later by mortal men who wanted to go their own way, whether a theologian with different ideas, or a King who wanted the right to get divorced, or what have you.

I don't know Ted personally but if he is a born-again Christian and has asked God for forgiveness for his sins and has done what the Bible has said to do when committing sins after being saved he would still be a true Christian.

It is the only thing that feels true. When I said that I was a Christian I felt like I was living a lie and I do not want to say that I totally rule out the possibility of a god (Atheism). I have always been a big one for the middle ground. OK that is not exactly the middle ground but it works for me.

Bingo!!!!! You I would guess are a true Christian, or at least understand how one should live. We all need to take an attitude check once in a while.\n\n I am a pastor and I tell you, usually the ones who treat people like that mean well they just are a little over zealous and forget we are to tell this in love, watch our attitudes, motives, and language.

I am a Christian too and I've noticed the same thing. I'm not sure why they do it but I try to spread God around and be real about my faith.

No I don't, I am Christian and I consider it a moral guide with some truths and a good book, but it isn't the end all to end all. I consider myself Christian because I follow many of Christ teachings and lets face it I was raised to be so. Nature vs. nurture, what can I say? Oh and you don't have to follow the Bible to follow what Christ taught, even he was against being ruled by laws.  I love God, not the Bible, if I did I would be a follower of books not of Christ. Ever wonder why Jesus never wrote about himself? Think on that for awhile. Like the bible says we are all Gods. Follow your heart not a book.

No, i dont think so, but he/she could be sure if they do the following:\nWebster’s Dictionary defines a Christian as “a person professing belief in Jesus as the Christ or in the religion based on the teaching of Jesus.” While this is a good starting point in understanding what a Christian is, like many secular definitions, it falls somewhat short of really communicating the biblical truth of what it means to be a Christian.\n\nThe Bible teaches us that the good works we do cannot make us acceptable to God.\nA true Christian is a person who has put his or her faith and trust in the person of Jesus Christ and fact that He died on the cross as payment for sins and rose again on the third day to obtain victory over death and to give eternal life to all who believe in Him.

Everyone who is born again by the Holy Spirit of God is a "real" Christian. Any other definition comes from men and not God. However, there are different levels of Christian maturity and commitment and Christ likeness. Also there are people who claim to be Christians because they go to church and have heard the gospel message but are not true Christians.\n\n1 Corinthians 12:13  For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body--Jews or Greeks, slaves or free--and all were made to drink of one Spirit.\n\n1 Corinthians 3:1 But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ.  (2)  I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready,  (3)  for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way?\n\nMatthew 13:19  When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path.  (20)  As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy,  (21)  yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away.  (22)  As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful.  (23)  As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty."

I am a Christian, but by that I mean a believing, thinking follower of Jesus, not just a cultural Christian. I take my faith seriously, not only in understanding its ramifications and foundations, but in living out its ethic of following the example, teachings, and practice of Jesus.
