i think the question should be do you understand everything you are being taught

Just like growing older doesn't mean that you''ve "grown up" (become more mature)... Time's passing doesn't guarantee you'll become more spiritually mature. It's unbearably easy to become stagnant, complacent, apathetic.\n\nBut your question: Why is it difficult? The major reason we don't trust the Lord is because we aren't fully aware of who He is. (Loving, merciful, desiring the best for us, jealous, consuming fire, holy, just). Then, other problems branch off from that: we fear that the circumstances we're in right now are too much for Him. We believe that things and people are going to give us greater pleasure, satisfaction than He will. \n\nStudy the Bible. (Psalm 27:13,14; Romans 8:28; Hebrews 10:23; 1 Peter 2:20; 2 Cor. 4:17 are excellent. Read them aloud.) Learn about God's character. \nRead John Piper! and C.S. Lewis! They're fantastic. \n\n(ahh.. i'm giving advice but I have the same problem myself.)

Praise God,welcome to the Family! My advise would to be DAILY in the Word(the King James Version Bible),pray daily,not just in church,keep your eyes on Christ,not on other christians,not on the world,dont care what others say unless they are quoting from the scriptures,you can NEVER go wrong by listening to the scriptures. Go to www.chick.com to continue your Christian growth,they have a lot of good christian reading material that you CAN TRUST.God's greatest blessings to you!

I was very young and unfortunately don't remember.  My parents were pastors and I remember them telling me at the age of 6 I was in the back seat of our family station wagon leading my 3 yr old sister to the Lord.  Unfortunately, I rebelled as a teenager and spent many years away from the Lord.  At the age of 28, I gave my heart back to Him.  \n\nI'm not sure I know how to rate my maturity level.  I have many years of knowledge and am very strong in my faith (9).  I also feel that I have soooo much to learn (5).  I have a close personal rleationship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (10), but I am human and fail to read my Bible every day like I should (7). My prayer life used to be much stronger (9+), like a year ago, but I am in the process of fixing that situation (6).  Do the math and it's like an 8.33 I guess.  Sorry, did I just confuse you as much as I confused myself?

Turn away from sins. \nAccept Jesus Christ as your Savior. \nThat will make you a Christian and inherit God's promises of everlasting life and a life full of love and blessings. \nLove others as you love yourself. \nLive in active faith in God.\nPray constantly and make the Bible as your source of truth. \n\nGOD is Good all the time!

you need to TRY, to follow his example.  we are only human and it is very hard to follow Christ when we have the temptations of society around us.  but if we are trying, then we are christian

You need to find a church that makes you feel comfortable and welcome.  You might need to try many.  I think that it is very important to find a church with a pastor that teaches from scripture.  There are so few out there anymore.  So many churches water down the teachings from Christ and put their own spin on the Bible.  How can you learn from God if you are not getting the teachings that he provided for us?  Don't let people bring you down, remember that just because someone believes in God it doesn't make them perfect, we are all sinners and fall short.  It is in our nature to fall short, that is why we need God.  Please don't let your disapointment in a person affect the way you see Christianity.  Pray about it and soon you will find a church home that is right for you, God Bless.

As long as you believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins, as long as you love and follow God, live an honorable and decent life and love your fellow man as yourself. I think you've pretty much got it covered, Each Christian denomination has such varying beliefs about "certain points" of Christianity, it's almost laughable. All you can do is learn all you can about them all, make up your OWN mind, and stick to your beliefs. You pick a Christian denomination to align yourself with based in which one fits your beliefs most closely. You don't have to accept every little picky point of any of them.

First off you don't have to wait to teach God loves the child when he/she is older. I have a 3 year old in my church that is already saved and accepted Jesus as her savior already.

I would point out that it is the most difficult point for a Christian.  The umbrella of youth is gone.  Life seems chaotic.  Time for study and prayer is dangerously thin.  You are exposed to ideas that counter or deny your beliefs.

I do not know why you address this to Christian me when it has nothing to do with being a Christian.  Almost being a christian is not being a Christian.  Rewrite it with true Christian values and then we will comment on it as Christian men.  I forgive you.  Jesus loves you.

Perhaps you're in the wrong....oops, incompatible...group of Christians.\nSome churches, The Vineyard just for one, play worship music with what probably pass for rock music instruments.\nFind a new group of Christians - I'm thinking you want to be with those who build you up, not tear you down, who encourage you, not discourage you.  You want to be prepared to live IN the world, without being OF the world.  Of relating to all people without relating to all that they do.\nThey're out there.  I've found them!

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)
