CrossCuT Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 [size=1]So there has been this increasing issue of "Christian behavior" shoved in my face on phatmass. It seems that I have been saying/ doing some unchristian-like things that deserve special attention with harsh words from "holier than thou" speakers. I admit that I am not perfect and I make mistakes, but it seems that whenever [size=2]I [/size]say something like that, its an instant "Wow, youre a terrible christian" and everyone stands to applaud. But whenever I have stood against something I felt was unchristian in another person, I have been beat down the same way, only this time its "Dont you know Claire? Its just the way things are.", "Its funny." SO WHAT IS CHRISTIAN ATTITUDE? Its ok to have it sometime but not ALL the time? Or is being unchristian ok when your friends are there to laugh with you? Its ok to be unchristian because the person just doesnt have "kind" qualities? Will you give me sarcasm now? [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel's angel Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I don't recall a time when you've been 'un-Christian'. We all say things that could be said in a 'softer' way-we're human after all. You're fine the way you are imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud2BCatholic139 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Sometimes people need a dose of reality. We are not perfect and things we mean to say comes out in a behavior that we don't mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norseman82 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I'm unaware of any "unChristian" accusations that may have been logged at you, but the short answer of what is Christian behavior is to "proclaim the truth with love". It's sometimes a fine line, especially when emotions run high on certain issues (I sometimes get caught up in it myself and find myself needing to reread my post before submitting) or when sometimes the love that is needed is "tough love".

Noel's angel Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 We shouldn't use the excuse 'it's who I am' because we are all called to grow beyond 'who we are naturally'. If no one changed who they were, there would be no Saints. 'To live is to change and to be perfect is to have changed often'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
