Why are some people Christian in name only? They may identify as Christian but they don't follow the bibles teachings?

    Because they're weak or just hypocrites.

    There are a lot of social benefits to Christianity.  (There's a lot to be said for a good potluck.)

    For many, that's the only aspect they really care about.

    Math 7;21-23 Some even infer both God and His son are not telling the truth when they teach that Jesus is Gods SON Math 3;17 John 3;16-17 by believing Jesus is God 1st Cor 11;3 That is the reason many religions have removed Gods name from their bibles some even forbidding the reading of it Jesus told his disciples to focus on the Kingdom Math 6;9-10;  33  and teach others the sancification of Gods name is given priority Math 24;14  Calling on that Name and exercising faith in His SON means salvation Acts 2;21 Joel 2;28-32

    IDK.  An atheist friend of mine was hurt because I didn't ask her to be godmother to my child.  I told her, you have to be a Christian.  And she said "I'm a Christian."  She's a Christian atheist?  Whatever.

    Jesus wondered the same thing

    Luke 6:46 KJV — Why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

    John 14:15 KJV — If ye love me, keep my commandments.

    And then...

    Matthew 7:21 KJV — 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 talk the talk, but cannot walk the walk.

    Luke 13:24 KJV — Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

    John 3:3 KJV —  Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

    The jehovah's witnesses can't help themselves.

    They're in a mind control cult.
