Christians Suck... Well at least sometimes...

This goes out to all of the atheist or non-believing people that I've ever met or may meet in life some day...

I want to give some perspective about Christians that you may not have heard before. Hopefully this will shatter a lot of stereotypes and help bring some brotherly love in the world...

Christians are not perfect!!! :D I know right, huge revelation...

But guess what, for some Christians, that is a huge revelation. I will admit that there are a lot of Christians (and I've been guilty of this myself) that have said & done things that were no where near Christ-like; which in turn drove more people away from us than draw them closer to us. Now mind you I'm not going to give us Christians an excuse for these actions. Because, frankly, some of them were plain stupid and unloving; and because of them (at that moment in time) we sucked.

Yet one thing that Christians forget is that we're not any different from you in the fact that we love, care, hurt and hate. We have raging emotions and feelings that can be hurt as well. We sometimes get it in our heads that since we're "saved," we're far better than everyone else. And that mentality is WAY wrong. We're not better, higher, worth more or any of that more than a non-believing person.

Now I will say this... We Christians may come across as having a very arrogant attitude towards aspects of life. But, speaking from experience, it's not arrogance... It's confidence. You see the Creator of the Universe has given us a promise that we've placed our faith in. And our faith hangs on that promise. And the life, death & resurrected life of one Jesus of Nazareth locks-in, solidifies and guarantees our faith in that promise. So we have a confidence that this same Creator has guaranteed our place in the future (both alive and dead).

Back on target... Jesus Himself showed us who we (Christians) are supposed to be going to & helping. Even if a person doesn't become a believer by what we say or what we do; we're to still server and love.

So now I will close with this... It may not help and it may be too late, but I am going to say (type) it regardless. On behalf of all Christians in the world; we're sorry for sucking at some point in the past. Some of us are trying our best and we do fail. I hope you'll forgive us. PEACE!!!

Romans 12:9-11 "Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically."(NLT)
