Are real Christians, the sort of non-violent, commune living, charitable, kind sort, that took care of the sick, and each other, and didn't care all that much about their material possessions? If so wouldn't we say such real Christians are good? And only fake ones are bad?
Clearly you’ve never visited the Amish or Mennonite communities.
Regardless I was asking about the distinction the poster was making between real and fake Christians, whether real Christians in his view were those who once did partake in such a life, like the earliest believers did.
