I Am A Christian But Im Not Perfect

CONTEMPLATE DAVID'S EXUBERANT DECLARATION OF FAITH!

Psalm27
 1. The Lord is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked came against me
To eat up my flesh,
My enemies and foes,
They stumbled and fell.
3 Though an army may encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me,
In this I will be confident.
4 One thing I have desired of the Lord,
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple.
5 For in the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall set me high upon a rock.
6 And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me;
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.
7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice!
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When You said, “Seek My face,”
My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”
9 Do not hide Your face from me;
Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help;
Do not leave me nor forsake me,
O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me,
Then the Lord will take care of me.
11 Teach me Your way, O Lord,
And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.
12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;
For false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as breathe out violence.
13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living.
14 Wait on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord!

This is all wonderful and reassuring but it means God loves you more than others, which is the kind of fear and hate and feelings of superiority that religion is really all about. This is why the Jews have been hated for 5,000 years. It's what made it possible for Christians to annihilate the people of an entire continent. And now for Muslim terrorists to blow up buildings. Jesus has better teachings, but in my entire 66 years I've never noticed that Jesus has much to do with Christianity.

"It means God loves you more than others". That is your interpretation, sir, which in itself has no relation to the post or anything in the Bible. Infact,here is what the bible says: "for God so loved the WORLD that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever should believe in Him will not perish but have everlasting life". Your constraint of God's love for me, or just a select cluster of persons, is your potrayal of a different God & definitely not the God of the Bible.

Also, it'll be well we judge a relogin not by the works of the majority of its followers but by itself - in other words, what the religion so preaches.
I believe the continent you speak of is Africa & the persons you refer to are the European crusaders.
1. We all can realise from evident evidence - if that makes sense - that Africans are not annihilated. Africa is still well populated by Africans.
2. The European crusaders who went claiming to act in authority of scripture in no way worked from the direction of the Bible but from the direction of their greedy desires, manipulating scripture & speaking from it the bits & pieces - words & broken sentences - which would justify their cause. We all have access to the Bible now & are able to read for ourselves and realise this truth; I suggest you grab yourself a copy of this wonderful book too & study for yourself.

Have a lovely day, sir. God bless. ☺

Exuberant is a good word.
