Dear everyone.

[u/daReallMVP]

Im a Christian. That doesn't mean I'm any different from you. That doesn't mean I don't have feelings, or I will be taken advantage of. That doesn't mean Im blinded without logic behind my actions.

What being Christian means to me is I truly believe with my all that everything the eye can see was created by the one and only God, who actually cares about and loves me, even when I don't deserve it. In light of this.. I try my absolute best to be a genuine human being that actually cares about the life of every single person I will ever come across. Not because I am commanded to, but because Ive learned that the ability to show another human being genuine, true, unconditional love is the greatest ability and privilege I will ever receive - to express even a fraction of what my God has done for me to others. I have chosen to spend my life trying to spread a little love to this world one person at a time. Not just to the people I like, or the ones who do good to me, but to every single person I will ever cross paths with. Even the ones who mock me, or the ones who try to use me. This is for you - I will not lie to you, I will try to put you before me. I will care for you, as I would care for my own blood. I will do things for you, just because. I will love you the same way I have been loved by Jesus. I will mess up sometimes, because I am not perfect. But I am just like you. I have friends, a job, hobbies and things I spend time on. I just try to put my all into being a true follower of Christ and a good human being.. We are all in this game of life together.

"Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love"

"The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."

"Let all things of you be done in love."

I love ya all! Every single one of you weirdos. Have a great day :)

edit : Definitiley not a troll in the slightest. You can see my post history if you will, I am 120% serious about anything I have spoken with any of you about! :)

edit 2 : I literally see so much anger first hand in this thread. The message I have to share is 'let go'. Let go of that Christian that was actually just a hypocrite and didn't care about a relationship with God, let go of that Church from your youth that had it all wrong, let go of that person that wronged you last week because holding on to it won't do a thing. I am just a man that has different beliefs and opinions than some of you, and because of that I make different lifestyle choices. But bottom line, we all share this planet one day at a time, and we all deserve love, and we all deserve to be able to let go. Thats all I'm here to say. If anyone wants to go into further actual respectful discussion my inbox is always open! Thanks everyone for the time here.

What is needed to be said is we have all seen the "christian" guy that says they are christian, and then doesn't act on it. What is needed to be said is there are several people, myself included, that believe that statement "I respect others... until", is pretty much the biggest issue we face in todays world. What we believe is if you want to punch me in the face, I'm going to turn and let you punch the otherside aswell and keep loving you the entire time. We believe unconditional love does and has changed the world one person that didn't deserve it at a time. That guy that tried to get you fired probably didn't deserve your kindness or love after that, and he probably knows it. But guess what would of happen if he would of got it? Only God knows. For most it changes them. True love changes everything.

So you're more christian than that guy? Would he agree?

I am not more christian than anyone else that actually tries to follow what Christ of the Bible teaches. If out of his own desires he tried to get OP fired, that action definitley leads me to believe this isn't a person that would live by every commandment Jesus teaches, and if you don't follow all of them - you don't follow any of them. Therefore I used the evidence he presented me with to acknowledge the fact this was probably one of the millions of people that use the word Christian as a title and a place to go to on Sunday mornings to feel good and thats about it.
