Why don't you understand!?

There are many who call themselves "christian" but have no desire to live the Christian life. Why? Ask them I do not know.

There are those who call themselves Christians that strive to be good, honest and faithful people who love others, God, Jesus and the Church. Please do not lump us together! Is that really so hard to do?

    I understand clearly the separation between Christians. In fact not only christians but also every association, group... has separation in them. "Many have no desire to live the christian life" Why? Because it is hard to"kill the flesh" The world has so much to offer and this is the lure, the trick of the devil. I commit myself to live the christian life and I found out that the greatest question is: how much love can be truly given to the neighbour?

    Galatians 5:19-26

    Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, [20] Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, [21] Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. [22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, [23] Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. [24] And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. [25] If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. [26] Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

    Some Christians haven't crucified the flesh and accepted the Spirit

    totally in their life.

    Even Jesus said many who call Him Lord, Lord, will not enter the kingdom.

    You will know those by their fruit.

    I know what you are talking about. I meant people like that in my life that they act like they are christian's but not. They act like that because the devil got them. There are so good and some so call christian's. You got to be careful in who you think is a christian.

    Why bother sweetiekins, you live your christian life, and let others live their christian life. You know your place in Heaven is secure if you're good. Ultimately, there will be no labels. Just you in heaven.

    who's lumping you all together? if you feel they are, i'm sure its nothing against you specifically. people tend to "lump" large groups such as gays, minorities, obese people, etc. and say not so nice things but if it doesnt apply to YOU then let it slide. you cannot change others after all.
