I'm a christian, am I supposed to right it on my forehead!. Just because we only gather in the church chapel on Sunday doesn't mean that that is the only day we attend church. There is bible study during the week along with many other associations, like prayer groups and baptism, worship, connfession any many more. Just cause we don't cover up from head to toe and we speak freely doesn't mean we aren't a child of God.

Surely it's OK to aspire to something even if one is 'very far gone from original righteousness'? I was brought up to the view that the church was not a museum of saints but a school for sinners.

It's like a driving school you learn how to live well and avoid the traffic hazards and mistakes one makes (sins). If you look in the church's highway code for example Mark 7:14-16 you will find:-

What goes in

As usual he summons a crowd and says to them, "Listen to me all of you, and try to understand! What goes into you can't defile you; what comes comes out of you can. If anyone has two good ears, use them!"

Who would want to live in a museum when there is an exciting itinerant preacher in Galilee to get one laughing?

Good question. I'm a christian myself and in the bible it doesn't say that we have to be perfect or anyting, but it definitely tells you to "come as you are". It's intresting because some people only go to church because there mum and dad go,and some people go to church for other reasons, for example they might only come because they like someone or they want to start drama with someone, but that's why my God is greaat. God accepts you for who you are, but at the same time he is working in you so that you can figure out yourself what's wrong and what's right. God has a purpose and plan for each and every one of us. We go through trials and tribulations, but that's what makes us stronger each day. Some people call themselves Christians because they only come to church, but NO you have to believe it, feel it and know that if you truly are a christian then you should understand that God created us so we are the image of him. I'm a believer, but i'm also not perfect. No is. I even have relatives who stand up in church and sing or play in the band, but they've just come home from clubing. People may be going through rough situations and Church maybe the only place they can feel warm and loved even if they'e not christian. Well that's all i wanted to add and i would've written like a whole bible, but i have school haha
God Bless

The asker has some serious unlearning to do : regardless of what is generally thought, Christianity is not a matter of acting one way or the other - which, by the way, constitutes hypocrisy! Rather it is the risen Christ living out his life through somebody : and this cannot begin until Jesus himself comes and indwells that somebody , and in turn, this is possible only by invitation : I am one such somebody.

Now, to invite Christ into one's heart is not play : for example, it took the great missionary St Paul that terrible incident along the road to Damascus for him to open up his heart; also, it took the Philippian jail-guard that incredible jail-break in which none of his prisoners escaped to open up to Christ. N.B. Both these accounts can be found in the Book of Acts of the Apostles in The Holy Bible ( chapters 9 v. 3 et seq
and 16 v. 23 et seq respectively)
If it is a house-wife who has opened up to Jesus Christ, his indwelling Spirit enables her to be a loving mother, faithful to her spouse. If a cop, He enables him to be an impartial officer who can say 'No ! ' to a would-be-briber. If a nurse, He enables her to be gentle and patient towards her clients. If a business person, he or she is enabled to deal honestly whether or not someone is watching; and the list goes on and on .

Hey,every religion has people like this. Judge the religion, not the people. ALL religion is imperfect because it is man-made. Religion is in the eyes of the beholder; nothing divine about that. you can keep all relgions as far as I am concerned. I don't want or need anything from a group of people. I address my feelings about spirituality myself, inside me, not some church and its attendant "concern" for my soul. The concern is that I might not believe the same things that the church wants and says i must believe or "God" will get me. The Christian God loves me? Then why is he willing to roast me for not blindly accepting what people say about a subject they have no knowledge of other than blind faith?
