lightking99:bros to "develop" in the context you wrote, you are emphasising self will? But we know that a mango branch does not struggle to bear its fruit, rather it receives sunlight and is attached -sort of like conscious of the tree- which it receives water and nutrients all from the tree. You get my drift. |

Then I've never known a "True Christian", going by your list. |
Re: 9 Qualities Of A TRUE CHRISTIAN by Celebrimbor(m): 6:44pm On Jan 09, 2015 |
adexsimply:the Christian you know, list his or her qualities. |
Re: 9 Qualities Of A TRUE CHRISTIAN by adexsimply(m): 7:00pm On Jan 09, 2015 |
Celebrimbor:The Christians I know lack the qualities listed above. |
Re: 9 Qualities Of A TRUE CHRISTIAN by Celebrimbor(m): 7:43pm On Jan 09, 2015 |
adexsimply:the name Christian was first used as an identifier by the people of antioch to describe the followers of christ. This people observed the followers of christ and concluded that they are christ-like or christian. It is an abnormally for someone to be a christian and still remain unforgiving, selfish, proud and the likes. In that case, the person has not surrendered his life to God. |

tos4u: sir this are the fruits of the spirit which a Christian should/must as well have... Thanks for adding this ... The list can go on and on but are we really manifesting this fruit? |
Re: 9 Qualities Of A TRUE CHRISTIAN by Nobody: 7:52pm On Jan 09, 2015 |
Celebrimbor: on point bro I wonder why somebody will say He/She is a Christian when there is no evidence of even 1 fruit of the spirit talkmore of the qualities I mention above |
Re: 9 Qualities Of A TRUE CHRISTIAN by Nobody: 7:55pm On Jan 09, 2015 |
