How do you know who's a real Christian, is it by some method you use to determine who's who? This is what I get asked from some Christians (Or not) here "Do you believe in Jesus, that he is God" What if I say yes, am I in? Come on you have to do better than say a few magical words. It's by your fruits you shall be known, says the bible. Determining who's a Christian or not by been pressured by fellow members to confess Jesus is Lord is very underhanded. Even the demons know Jesus is the Lord, but are they allowed to gain full access to your forums. What about people who are weak in faith, what does it say about them? Go read your bible, you'll see what it says. I am one who is weak of faith, needing milk (Supposedly). Am I getting it from Christians, a few, most just trample over me while they are fixated on storming the gates of heaven. What is it with so many Christians I come across who are obsessed about being saved, I don't get it, I just don't get it. I have have met so many people who you'd swear were Christian, they have all the right fruits, but they don't confesses Jesus openly. Then you have so many more who do confess Jesus is Lord openly, but act like satan himself (He gets a little s) So this is my case, I put my mouth out there. I'd like to see your response.

Well, it seems to me I've missed something here. I never felt accepted and loved by Christians, when I was apart of their community. I think you can dump a whole religion on the basis of their actions. For me it's not good enough to judge Jesus on separate gounds. If I'm not seeing in Christians what Jesus preached, then it is evident that something don't work. I raise the question, why I fail to see: The dead being raised The blind receiving sight The deaf hearning Deiseses cured Food being multiplied The cripple walking Jesus said "You will know them by their fruits" If all that he said is possible, then he is either lying or there are no true believers.

But the bible God has done many unlovable things, are those unlovable things love too. Point and case: Afflicting people with sore curses. Killing children by the sword. Wiping out all life Becoming drunk on the blood of the slain. Mocking his enemies when they fall. These are a hand full of acts by bible god that are recorded. How can I reconcile such things as love?

I just desire to love someone, someone I can pour my heart out too. It has to be a human, not a imagined archetype. Not God, because he has enough love already. I look for a muse that will inspire me and challenge all my preconceived conceptions. Will the creator of the cosmos send such a person to me? Tell me What is love really?
