But, you implied I was cherry picking. The scriptures I posted were relating to how a Christian should act. My point was, if their behavior is killing people when Jesus plainly states to "do no murder" or when the Bible say that murderers will not enter heaven:
Quote:
Galatians 5:21
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Atheists still insist that a person that does this is a "christian" even though it's contradictory.
Has the person confessed in his heart to Christ the Savior? Isn't that the qualification for being a Christian?
Do good acts suffice without the confession? If it's acts alone, we can discount the Savior bit. If the belief is required, you cannot dismiss their faith based solely on their misdeeds. After all, Christian doctrine asserts that all men are fallen sinners and need redemption.
Who are you to say that their sins are so heinous that they will not be saved by your god?
