and yet the problem is at epidemic proportions.

IMHO...jesus would be more concerned about bad christians who have infiltrated the church/religion and give it a bad name..then agnostics or aetheists who do not try and act like they are christians.

Quote:In Cathar texts, the terms "Good Men" (Bons Hommes) or "Good Christians" are the common terms of self-identification.

now that sounds cult-ish.you don't sound like a Christian, with things like calling yourself a Christer and referring to self-death which sounds like suicide to me. you're either lying to try to be cute, or you're one of the reasons we get into arguments with non-believers. either way, you come off weird.

It's not suicide. Some call it ego-death. Either way, it's what the new testament calls the "circumcision of the heart". Scripture tells us to reckon the old man dead, yes? If we don't do that, Christ has no place to sit, and we remain as obnoxious as we were before He showed up, just with a different flavor.

are you a snake handler? im trying to figure out your logic, it doesn't sound like anything i have ever heard.i dont know , wherever you learned that it just doesn't sound right.

into good christians, instead of them spending so much time trying to engage non believers.

a bad Christian at least is looking in the right direction. It is those who refuse to seek God that are in the most need... leaving the flock to find the one lost sheep, remember?

Disagree.

the term " Bad christian" shouldnt exist. Its a oxymoron..and yet the problem is at epidemic proportions.

So what justification do you use for being so judgmental, but avoiding the classification of hypocrite?

So To all the good and bad Christians, I say, Repent, the kingdom of YHVH is at hand. Seek the Most High, clean your own eyes before preaching to those who don't want to be preached to. Lead through example and be willing to share to the willing. This was Yahushua's example for you. He let the people gather to him and not the other way around.

As Christians we help each other through hard times and such. What your calling bad Christians are just Christians that are pushy. there is no fixing them when there is nothing wrong. Atheists are pushy and rude, not all of them but some of them. Agnostics i dont know about. and the people who like to complain about religion and how there is no God but refuse to be called Atheists or Agnostics, well they are assholes.

People love to judge other people. even Christians. they are all gossipy and pushy that shit is irritating. I firmly believe judging people is wicked and sinful. i believe that no human being has the mental capacity to judge another human being for anything. Only God has the power to judge.

How can anyone take anything you say seriously and not be disgusted? Read your comments above that I bolded. You are a hypocrite and are willing to call people who don't believe in God and/or don't define themselves as athiests or (a)gnostics as assholes and yet you say there are no bad Christians, only pushy Christians. Why can't you find it in yourself to call the bad, hypocritical, pushy Christians assholes? Is it because you would have to call yourself an asshole? The judgemental stance of Christians like you gives all Christians a bad name and why so many people see Christianity as a f*cking joke.

Judge not, lest YOU BE JUDGED, simple.. isn't it!!

I have removed myself from the divide and conquer BS games of TPTB!!

I do not embrace any religion whose sole intent is the fomenting of fear and judgmentalism!!

Re-read what you wrote in bold, and answer the question without any of your personal Don Quixote fantasy bullshit.

You judged Christians as "pathetic executioners".
