I frequently point out to people how morally disgraceful the past and
present
history of Christians are. I like to mention people like Jim Baker, Jimmy
Swaggart, and Oral Roberts. I'm told, "Don't look at the people, look at
the
example that Christ set instead. Besides, any ol' devil can say he's a
Christian". But isn't Christ supposed to change people? Aren't they
supposed to
be "new creatures in Christ"? What's so new about them? Where are all the
changed people then? Where's the proof that God or Christ are real then?
Then
I'm told, "Christians aren't perfect...just forgiven. Christians can also
backslide". So I'll ask again, how can you be a new creature if you don't
act
any different than the old creature? How is God going to be able to tell
the
difference between sinners and saints if there is no difference between
the way
the two act and look? If it looks like a sinner and acts like a sinner
then it
is a sinner! Sure, every organization has its faults and weaknesses but
you
would expect less, not more, from an organization that belongs to and
represents
GOD. This lack of perfection in the Church proves that it is only a human
organization because only humans are imperfect. Thinking people can't put
all of
their trust into someone or something that constantly makes mistakes.
