Should we expect Christians to behave like the bible says Christians should?

Yes

 

Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. Jeremiah 17:5

 

Yes We Should

 

Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. Jeremiah 17:7

[~candice~]

The whole chapter of 1 John 3 seems to indicate YES.

Christians should behave like Christians But I am curious as to what everyone thinks that means. For example, is skipping church behaving like a Christian? In other words, just  how do people think a Christian is suppose to behave?

Exactly what I was trying to get at. Good post.

Yes,we are supposed to be the Salt and Light of this world.A representive of who Christ is.The sad part of it is that I see very few people who claim to be Christian and who are acting the part.

Who is a Christian?

Those that show up on Sunday morn and hold down the pue? and after church, goes to Wal Mart and passes the guy on by that is holding up a sign,  "NEED FOOD".

 

Or, are they christians that pass you by while you are walking to church on Sunday morn carry a BIBLE? and she goes to the same church you do and wants to teach me something in Sunday school?

 

Oh, are they christians that know you live without electric and haven't even offered you as much as a candle?

 

Visually, one knows Sunday afternoon they just come from church because they are in suits and dresses going about their worldly business. They aren't speaking GOD's word. They left HIM at the church on the pue.

 

Where are the Christians??? I sure haven't seen any, including myself, but GOD has changed me. What say ye?

 

"Bare ye one anothers burdens"  thank GOD for the samaritans!!!

 

God Bless

There is some 'salt' for us all. If the salt has lost its savior, where with shall it be salted?

Speaking the truth in HIM, sometimes will offend some. If you are offended; it is because you aren't in right standing with GOD in the first place.

YES! YES! YES! We the "CHILDREN OF GOD" should be representing the KING in which we serve, not ducking to the other side of the street like the high priest did when he saw one half beaten to death and bloody needing help.

Thank GOD for the samaritans. They are the ones the christians call sinners and scoff at. They are the ones that offer their dirty hand to help you up, while the christians spit on them.

I am fed up with HYPOCRISY in the churches, it didn't just start, it has always been.

God Bless us all

Good luck with that...

 

I find only when I am shallow and steering clear of any or all topics other than the weather or telling each other how fine we are all doing (when we're not)... that "Christian behavior" is present.

 

Sometimes when praising and worshiping and no one gets onto a subject of doctrinal controversy... we can experience for a time "Christian behavior."

 

I'd expect true Christian behavior will only be displayed in Heaven. Here on earth... not so much.

Is he a Christian when he is in the front row seat at Church and then yells obscenities to his wife and children on the way home?
