in John 3:1-3
1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God:for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
(KJV)

FOLYKAZE: 1 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of Gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

2 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.

3 - You laugh at polytheists (those who believe in many Gods), but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

4 - You feel disgust when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!

5 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that worships humans as avatars, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.

6 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established facts, e.g. age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.

7 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."

8 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some crazy people rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.

9 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.

10 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a christian.

There are no true or fake christians. It is either you are a christian or not. #NotAReligion smiley

Truly people need to understand it that the fact that you go to Church regularly and pay your tithe doesn't make you a Christian. Neither, is it because you were born in a Church and you got yourself a good Christian Name. It is not so, it does not work that way. smiley

Christianity is Divine. A relationship with God through faith in Christ Jesus. And, truly there are just some things you wouldn't do ALL because you know God wouldn't be proud of you. Yes, A Christian would not defraud, you would not commit abominable act, you would not be dishonest nor abuse your office in whatever position you are. It is really so unfortunate that some people profess to be Christians, but their behaviour and conduct say otherwise.. This should not be so, if we truly have 'found' Him...the Light Of Hope.

Christ Jesus does not condone unruly behaviour....He dwells in a pure, cleansed heart. Daily, we need to pray for grace to live a pleasing life unto God, as Christians..Heaven is counting on us. Let's stand, regardless of the challenges.

To show love to one another irrespective of religion, trib, colour, etc with reference to the parable of the good sameritan
2ndly as a christian when u pray...u pray with love for one another, u dont bind and cast as some penticostal churches do now. For we are one in the love of christ...he forgived the adultrus woman, he associted with the gentiles and the jews. With reference to the parable of the lost sheep( be glad wen ur brother is back) for when the lord taught us how to pray, he said " Our father, who is in heaven" he didnt say "my father, who is in....." for many christian are factionlizing our God who created us.

To me its Romans 12 but clearly in Romans 12:9-17

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13 Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.

14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position.[c] Do not be conceited.

17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[d] says the Lord. 20 On the contrary:

“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”[e]
