I Am A Christian But Im Not Perfect

@AngieB oh so that is in gaza, palestine? Jesus was Palestinian? I thought he was Jewish?

@Jogadnbyt Is this deliberate trolling or genuine curiosity?

Bethlehem today is in what is part of the Palestinian Territories. When Jesus was born, it was part of the Roman province of Judea.

Are you saying Jesus was Roman? (Sarcasm, in case that wasn't obvious).

@AngieB very genuine, just always wondered where he was actually from. Was a really good answer to be fair

@Harriet03 Alleged sacrifice or alleged perfection? 🤔

@AngieB Both!

@BellindaBallarina Well Christ Himself was (is) perfect: because as fully human as He is, He is also God.

That doesn't make others' sacrifices less worthy or less worth remembering and honouring, of course.

@AngieB He got angry at a fig tree once....

It's too early to try and write a sermon about that lol. But in the context of what Jesus was doing, and looking at some of His parables, it's not as crazy as it first seems.

@BridgeOvertroubledWaters Of course not. Christians, though, believe that the way to overcome our imperfections (though not, at least in this world, attain perfection ourselves), is through accepting and following Christ.

@AngieB I'm Jewish. Judaism holds that even the most pious person can always potentially sin. That is why there is the concept of Repentance.
The least we can all do (no matter what we believe in!!) is to strive to be good people and do good to one another.
