Christians who actually follow the teachings of Jesus instead of just using a 2,000-year-old book to justify being hateful pieces of shit are the very rare exception, not the rule.

Why would most of the worst people on earth be Christians, your claim has no basis. That 2000 year old book is the teaching of Jesus and the profits before him, so I don’t get your point. Yeah, hypocritical Christians do exist, and they should look in the mirror and realize their ways everyone should realize that they are no better than anybody else in the eyes of God Christians don’t think they’re any better than anybody else (hopefully)

Yeah and they are hypocritical, they missed the entire point of the religion

this doesn't have ANYTHING to do with what OP said. they just made an observation that everyone they know with a bible verse in their bio is a bad person. i swear christians just can't handle any form of criticism towards christians without being like "well those people just aren't real christians but im a good one!!!" y'all would be so much less annoying if you could accept the fact that being a christian doesn't automatically mean you're a good person.

What I’m describing is conditioning. Many churches use shame-based rhetoric framed as God’s authority. That framing grants moral cover — not accountability. When God is positioned as the shield, cruelty gets reframed as righteousness

The result isn’t stronger Christians. It’s adults who confuse obedience with virtue and righteousness with entitlement

A lot of Christians (most entirely men) I’ve had problematic interactions say this, they literally believe that as long as they “believe” in Jesus they have a multitude of opportunities to go to heaven. they believe anyone who doesn’t believe in Jesus is going to hell. That’s all of your problem, you guys walk around saying/doing whack shit and then expect Jesus to come save you. And it’s rlly only Christians who have the nerve to come and make their religion someone else’s problem.

I hate when people say this. It’s a deflection. The Bible says a Christian is a follower of Jesus Christ who has repented of their sins, trusts in His death and resurrection for salvation, and has received the Holy Spirit. According to the word you believe, you as a human and fellow sinner cannot dictate who is and who isn’t a true follower of God. As you stated, even true followers of God are sinners, and therefore are capable of doing the “bad things” that this post was inspired by.

So when you say “they aren’t true followers of God”, I just have to call BS. You can’t redraw the boundary of what being a Christian is to exclude these people just because their actions make you uncomfortable. They are part of your group.

I agree, but so many people claim they’re a Christian without actually knowing or caring what that means. They just don’t belong to other religions or atheism, so they group themselves with Christianity. I’m not saying everyone is like this, but our western culture of Christianity is much different than Christianity as it’s described in the Bible. I’m not saying people who are Christian’s aren’t what they say nor am I saying I have any way to determine the state of their hearts.

As long as you repent, which is try your absolute hardest not to repeat your sin and believe in Jesus as your savior, you will be saved. The scripture makes it clear that if you do this but then go and sin, (which includes talking to to people ) you can lose your salvation. The core of the faith is to help others see the light, forcing people is against the Bible. You you choose not to that’s between you and god.

What you’re describing is exactly the problem. A moral system where behavior is secondary to confession trains people to externalize responsibility. ‘Repent, reset, repeat’ isn’t accountability — it’s a loophole

Anonymous #2 1w

You are supposed to change with the faith, if they aren’t changing they aren’t believing. i apologize that you have had bad experiences, and im not trying to make a loophole, i would encourage any Christian that has wronged someone to apologize properly to the person they wronged, and repent.

What’s that?

Anonymous #4 1w

That response proves my point. Any system that explains harm by saying ‘those weren’t real believers’ avoids accountability by definition. If the standard only applies in theory and never in practice, it’s not a moral system — it’s a disclaimer

Anonymous #18 1w

It dismisses real, observable behavior by redefining who “counts” as a believer after the harm happens.

What he was trying to say is Jesus wouldn’t do the bad things that happened to them. All the hurt, pain, trauma, was human caused not by Jesus. Humans are used by the devil, they’re his tools to keep people away from a fulfilling life with Christ. At one point we all say “no way Jesus/sky daddy would give me a more fulfilling life” then, he does and you understand everything a little differently then and you want people to find what you found.

I see, I could’ve worded it better. Christians are not flawless, even ones who try their best to follow God everyday. Only Jesus can be perfect. I guess what I was thinking is that a true believer shouldn’t be known for their hatefulness, but they’re also not perfect. Many Christians experience a new mindset on things and feel joy from what Jesus has done for them and then they want to share that joy with others. Jesus told us the most important commandments are to love God and to love people.

If I see a post anywhere about the fact that it's okay to murder and cage people because their skin is brown, I can guarantee when I look at their page there is a Bible quote. Christianity is dead as we once knew it to be. Jesus was about love. Period. The lens is fact.

if you repent. which means to realize what you’ve done and then not do it again. having a merciful God is not an excuse to do evil, God knows the heart and he says a worker of inequity will not inherit the kingdom

this is a horrible take. a person who has not fully surrendered their life to God would never want to pray because why would they, and if they do pray they don’t know how. The bible says that someone with inequity in their heart, God will not hear their prayers.

the bible is LITERALLY THE WORD OF GOD, in order to follow the teachings of Jesus you NEED to read and understand the bible. otherwise you are creating a god and jesus that follow what you think.

if someone in blm said they were for blm and started stealing and looting in the name of blm does that mean they truly represent blm? Us as followers of Christ don’t determine who walks with God or not. We’re taught to call out our struggling brothers and sisters when they knowingly doing wrong. Your depiction of christians is incorrect, but I understand that the christian’s you may have met in ur life are the reason for that. Being Christian doesn’t mean you don’t sin btw

Yes, when people claimed BLM and started stealing and looting it absolutely 100% did reflect on the Black Lives Matter movement. I think you need to reread what I said. Nowhere did I say Christian’s don’t sin, in fact I said that a bunch. It seems my point has gone over your head. Where did I depict anything about Christian’s incorrectly?

Not one-off sin, but ongoing, willful practice without repentance. Also repentance doesn’t mean you quit forever,you’re trying to stop the sin
