    That they do not read and study their Bible. That they simply listen to what their pastor or priest says during services or mass. Too many do not know what is in the Bible and what is not. They do not understand the character and nature of God. They do not understand the character and nature of Satan, who is their Adversary. They do not desire to live each day attempting to walk closer with Christ Jesus, or to include God in any of their plans. They wish to go it alone under their own abilities and are deluded into believing that God will bless them. They have not because they ask not. I wish that more of them would honestly pray to Christ each day for wisdom, understanding, and strength. Too many have bought the lie that the Bible is not the infallible Word of God and/or that Jesus Christ is not God.

    The lack of effort towards reaching out to the poor, the disadvantaged, and the those who really need it. Sometime ago, a group of fundamentalists decided that it would be more Christ-like to go harassing people door to door than to practice charity, even though there are over 300 scriptures in the bible expressing God's desire that His people make aiding the poor a top priority. Then they stuck the label " social gospel" to it as some sort of pejorative term.

    Those Christians who believe they can live any way they choose and still get into Heaven. God has made it VERY clear that only the people who accept Him as Savior AND live by His commandments can get into Heaven. Also, the materialism and complacency of most evangelical churches concerns me. We need to be on fire for the Lord and serve Him with all our hearts!

    People like Pat Robertson and the WBC. People who kill gay people and doctors who perform abortions. That really disturbs me. Fine, if they think those people are evil, fine, they have a right to think that way. But they have NO right to determine who lives or dies. They have NO right to make a person's life a living hell because they don't agree with what they do, say, or believe. God will deal with them when the times comes, let him be the judge and determine if and what the punishment is.

    Sorry, I kinda got on a rant there, but you asked!

    Quite a lot out there that 'claim' christianity doesn't even know what "Saving Knowledge" is in the first place and make a very bad stain on the True Believers.

    When we come out of church, we do not do as Christ commanded, love thy God with thy whole heart and love thy neighbour as thyself

    And neither I might add do the Muslims act for the most part, in a way pleasing to God !.

    Their insistence on lawlessness,

    Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

    Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

    Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

    And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.(lawlessness)
