But if your definition of being a Christian means acting as Jesus would act, that is a very high standard indeed. Every human being would fall short.

Insisting that we all act as Jesus would act is so overwhelming it has me starting to get depressed. Who gets saved and who doesn’t get saved is outside of my ability to judge.

Jesus demands that we love even those who despitefully use us. Saul of Tarsus used to carry around signs that said God hates Christians but then he became Paul.

Perhaps we shouldn’t so hard on others?
