Truth About Christianity

Too many loud voices say that Christians are promoters of hate.
We are misunderstood for many reasons.

We believe in Absolute Truth.
False teachers out for money and power.
Name only Christians. i.e. Sunday bench warmers.
Silence when we should speak.

True Christians hold the Bible as the sufficient rule of faith and practice. This means that we use scripture as a guide of what God has already said to judge what is true and right.
True Christians realize that they are lost without the grace (love) of God.
True Christians will trust in God's power to help them love everyone, including the sinner, and those that abuse the Christian. We believe that everyone will be judged by God. Based on that, the loving thing is to tell the world what God requires of us in life, so that judgment does not result in eternal separation from God.
True Christians will seek to communicate the Truth in love. We are not to condemn others; only point to the truth of what God has said and done in scripture and through the life of Jesus Christ.
True Christians take their beliefs everywhere. They need not be spoken, but should be evident to others in the way one lives and acts.
True Christians know that we are not here by accident, but that God has a purpose for us.
True Christians know that Satan is out to deceive anyone he can.
True Christians know that Satan is not under ever rock or behind every bush waiting to "get us". He is not everywhere, or all powerful.

Things to Ponder:

If it is politically correct to bash Christians publicly, why isn't it PC to bash other religious groups?
If there is no Hell, do you expect to see Hitler in Heaven?
If there is no life after death, why do people do self-destructive things, instead of enjoying every moment of life they have?
If the Bible is just an old, outdated book, with no bearing on today; why do those who try to disprove it in part or in whole have to jump through such incredible hoops to make their point?

If the Book of Mormon is just as true as the Bible, why can archaeologists find places mentioned in the Bible, but absolutely no trace of places mentioned in the Book of Mormon?
If the Book of Mormon is just true as the Bible, why is the test of its veracity the "burning in one's bosom", and not that it is divine rather than human in origin as attested to by the manuscript, archaeological, prophetic, and statistical evidence for the Bible.
