What Do You Think?

[ontoxPara]

Do you think that most people who call themselves Christians are not 'TRUE Christians'

And

Do you realize that you are one of the Christians that are considered to be a false Christian by other Christians?

I do not know if I would say most are false Christians.

However, I will say that a lot of people that claim to be Christians have never read or studied the teachings of Our Lord. Rather they simply listen to various speakers, sometimes learning what they know from false/misguided teachers, being "spoon fed" what the bible "says" and how to interpret it. Rather than using Our God given brains to use the gift of reasoning and logic to study, learn and distinguish between the true teachings of Our Lord versus what some very noisy groups (which seem to get all the attention) tend to claim He taught.

As for am I aware that other "christians" think I am one of the misguided/false Christians?

Oh yes ... on more than one occasion I have been informed that I am something nearly as bad as the devil himself and that there will probably be new levels of Hades built especially for me. Simply for reading an entire chapter of The Bible rather than just a verse here and a verse there in order to keep what the Bible says in proper context. It seems there are a many groups that do not like me doing that, especially when the rest of the chapter says that the verse they are quoting is what we should NOT to be doing.

But ultimately all any of us can do is try to follow the teachings of Our Lord as best we can. And that starts with a simply yet complex rule that says, "Do to others as you would have others do to you".

Just My Thoughts.
