So I wrote this post last year when I had a scholarship paper that required me to write about "How good of a Christian" I was. This moderately offended me...Only slighty. So I blogged about what I wanted my paper to say.. What I wanted. Not what I gave them. I figured it would have offended the board. But now looking back I ask: "WWJD?" and I think: "Yeah, I should've elaborated this blogpost and turned it in." Anyway. Here's the original post of if I think there's such a thing as "Good Christians" and "Bad Christians"
Christianity is a religion claimed by alot of people. It's foundational belifes are that there is one supreme God that created the entire universe from nothing, created humans, and instigated a perfect relationship with them. We broke the bounderies of that relationship and screwed it up hardcore. So God came down to the planet earth He created, as a human named : Jesus. Jesus was completely human, and also completely God. (Which is difficult to wrap your head around, but its true.) Jesus was on earth to display what that original relationship between God and man was all about. And to make it possible for humans to have that relationship with God again. Jesus did this by living a perfect life and dieing as an innocent man. He then rose himself from the dead and returned to the heavens. Now, Christians are people who are supposed to belive all these things. And Do things the way Jesus did. The problem is some people get thier "Golden Tickets" to Heaven and think that they're set for eternity. They say "Jesus has forgivin me of my sins, now I can tell you how much of a jerk you are and how you need to fix yourself." Two letters: NO. This is wrong. In order to do what Jesus wanted you to do you have to re- instigate that relationship with God. You can do this through prayer, ( having a coversation with God one on one. Not thanking him for your day, and foods. Then forgeting Him. remember, God's real, and made us like Him, And He likes to be treated like anyone else would.) you can also do this by showing the love of someone who's willing to unselfishly sacrifice his life to further someone elses, By not hating people, by not judging. ( What right do you have to tell people they're wrong. "Let He who is without sin throw the first stone." Sound familiar?) by showing support for your neighbors, ( expecially fellow belivers in Christ.) These are just some ways to be a Follower of Christ and not a Poser of Religion. Examine yourself before you examine others, get the stick out of your eye before you try to get the sliver out of your friends. So are there "Good Christians" and "Bad Christians". No. There are People who honestly pursue God like He pursues you. And there are those who go to Hell. I look at myself. Have you looked at yourself? What do you see, and how can you improve?
