Are people who call themselves Christians Christ like?

[IanLC]

Today being a "Christian" is a term people love to throw around and use loosely. Yes those who claim to be "Christian" should be Christ like and the genuine are. Many claim CHrist but will find themselves in Hell. Because God demands for his church to be holy and righteous! There is no way around it!

I absolutely agree that many who claim to follow a certain religion often uses it as a base armor to defend and justify their own failings and immoral actions...

I also agree that striving to be the same as a role model like Jesus is a commendable thing in itself.

I agree with you being agnostic you have a good knowledge of moral law and social consciousness which is simply putting belief into action and living, doing and being all you can about your belief.

Arnie, use Richard Dawkins. He's contemporary lol

Isn't Richard Dawkins the guy that says a meme created everything

 

[InquisitiveAgnostic]

I think you're getting that confused with the guy who coined the term 'meme' lol

I tend to believe that we falsely judge other Christians based on their moral behavior - it is very easy to decide if a person is Christlike based on their behavior. But how does God judge us? I believe He judges our heart. So instead of worrying about Christians that are behaving badly and how they are measuring up to the world's standard of Christlike, perhaps we should be getting back to the reason we were created for; to love God and neighbor - let God worry about the sanctification of His people. We got into some serious trouble in the Garden when we decided to get into the judging good and evil business, remember? Jesus correctly said 'why do you call me good - only God is good' because the people he was talking to had no business or ability to know good from evil.

We are all christ alike the moment we accept Jesus as our lord and saviour. Physically we may not be able walk the way he worked, but spiritually we are 100% like him, when we understand this, it will give us the confidence to show christ likeness.
