will a true christian face many troubles by evil?

Yes, they will always face trials, tribulation, evils, struggles, etc. It is expediant that there is opposition in all things, other wise, how could the rightous be rightous if it were not that evil existed. If Jesus Christ being perfect had to suffer temptations and extreme cruelties, are we so much better than he is that we shouldnt suffer?

What do you expect from a Christian?\nSurely not honesty or integrity.

People who continually sin, without a conscious..need to check their salvation. If they don't turn there life around they will go to Hell BUT if you ask for forgiveness and mean it, (and turn from your wicked ways)..he will save you..

You will know them by their fruit.\nonly experiencing God's salvation makes you a true Christian. of course, we can't see into man's heart, so we just have to take people at their word and the way they live their life. But remember, it's not our place to judge.

The Bible lays it out quite clearly -\nBe honest, treat others the way you want to be treated, do not kill, steal, or murder, forgive others, love everybody - even your enemies.  Of course, there's much more, but that should be enough to get started.

If you are not born again you will surely see true evil show its self to you.Any one who is not taken at the return of Christ will go through the 7 year tribulation period and this will be a time more terrible than any other in the history of the world. The Anti-Christ mentioned in the Bible will not manifest himself until after the start of the tribulation and not before.

A real Christian would never even consider hating or judging anyone else. He would be more concerned about setting a good example than condemning others.\n\nBut, there aren't many real Christians, and those who are don't claim to be.\n\nHatred is a weakness for anyone, irrespective of beliefs. And should not be allowed to gain control of or influence a person's life because it only makes a person worse, not better.\n\nThose who claim they have the authority to hate sin only reveal their own ignorance and weakness.

Absolutely! Without question!\nThe Bible is full of verses that say so directly. \nMatthew 5:10-12, 5:44, etc.\nThe Bible actually promises that "all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution" 2 Timothy 3:12\nJesus was persecuted - Why should his followers expect not to be? The disciple is not above the Master.\nWith the exception of John, all of the original 12 disciples were actually killed for their faith (They tried to kill John several times, but he was spared every time).\nThe True Church throughout history has accepted that persecution would be normal.\nThe Bible is also very clear on how believers are to respond when they are persecuted. Romans 12:14, 1 Corinthians 4:11-13\nAlso, those who patiently endure persecution bear more fruit of the gospel, and often see their persecutors enter into the kingdom of God! (like Saul/Paul, who later became one of the most important figures in Christianity began as a persecutor).\nMy own personal experience bears this out as well! I won't go into detail, but trust me, I could!

Unfortunately, yes.  Good and Evil are human attributes, so an evil person is one of us, as much as we'd like to disown him.

Every now and again some version of Christianity accuses someone of being the Anti-Christ.  Usually it is someone who stands in their way or causes them grief.  Everyone likes to blame the horrors of the world on someone.  Based on their track record I doubt they'll ever get it right and the real anti-christ has probably had a long fruitfull life and is now retired somehwere where they serve cocktails on the beach.

The truth about Good and Evil is that it's in the eye of the beholder. There is no active force of Evil or Good, only progress and lack  thereof.  This is what Adam and Eve learned in the Garden and thats what the Creator God didn't want them to know. One mans Evil is another mans Good and evildoers will always refer to their progress as good.  Those who fallow the creator God are trapped in a world run by these invisible forces and it distracts them from the real world and it's real problems. In reality nothing exists to be feared, only understood. knowing this will set you free forever. God bless Jehova, for he and his children shall never know.

The Bible teaches that followers of Christ will be riddiculed and will suffer for their beliefs. Consider the fate of 11 of 12 apostles - murdered for their belief. satan is the god of this age, the prince currently ruling. As such, all goodness and light is despised by those he claims and rules. Recognize that the things of God are "as foolishness" to those whose eyes are blinded and hearts are hardened. Pray for them. Good luck - and do not grow weary while doing good - galatians 6 6-10

satan tries to stand in the way every time we get closer to god and we need to fight him the whole way even though you may feel it is impossible to love god with your whole heart just trying to evict satan from your being is enough to get to heaven you must resist the evil that is satan if you want any chance to gain eternal peace but.... the most important thing is to accept jesus christ as your savior and welcome him into your life now do not wait !!!

The parable that most troubles me is Matthew 7:21 - 23.  Jesus taught that everyone that called on his name wouldn't be true Christians.  He taught that there would be people that thought they were Christians, but they really were not.\n\nThe Bible warns us to make SURE...examine ourselves and live our life fully for him.\n\nMatthew 7:21-23 (NKJV)  \n    "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. [22] Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' [23] And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'

I would not act any different...he knows whats in our hearts. I would confess my sins and ask for his forgiveness like I do every night before bed. You never know when you will have to answer for your sins.Yes I am a God fearing christian.

Great question. But no one should be a christian just because of the what if factor.  But i agree to pray, He will help those who do decied to seek Him

Being godly's always been odd (and more). Being Christian always meant going against the flow. \n\nJesus said, "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first." (John 15:17-19)\nPeter said, "[ Suffering for Being a Christian ] Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you." (1 Peter 4:12)\n\nIs society getting worse? I'm not sure. But I never had real faith in human "goodness" in the first place.
