That describes the actions of at nearly half the Christians I've known. Churches, too.
If one has a personal relationship with Him, how can they sit in a pew, feeding money to people that live in mansions and drive luxury cars? I've met numerous ministers that have had more plastic surgery than Hollywood stars. Weight the Good Samaritan story against how they treat others. You'll quickly find few will stand. But they'll be the first to point fingers at gays, Muslims, etc.

Benchwarmers, they know verses out of context. They think they have Him living in their heart. And they expect everyone else to do the same. They are the most fake group on the planet. There is no group more judgmental than them. Few have truly studied Jesus as a person, Rabbi, and a God-sent being. They don't even try, they trust the immoral leaders to feed them feel-good stories for an hour or two a week. Their Bibles sit dusty on a bookshelf or a coffee table like some kind of lucky charm.

I wish, truly wish, Jesus would return asap and set things right.

Now i have Christ abiding in me, i know which one i am more inclined to believe.Feet represents our mind by the way.
My goodness, you have to argue about EVERYTHING!

I meant what I said: without the relationship, there is no salvation.

There is no group more judgmental? Eh, try reading your own post, and you will find someone very judgmental.

I am not a group. And while I am judgmental about the group as a whole, I don't apply this to individuals. I accept everyone in whatever manner they choose to present themselves.
