Christlike behaviour?

[M. T. Cross]

Is that not what Christians seek to achieve? Not just at the end of their time here on earth but in their day to day life.... including internet forums?

This really is a serious question.

[phkrause]

Yes EC, absolutely. This is what we should strive to be, like Jesus.

Cool

My next question would be - How do you personally define Christlike behaviour.

[Naomi]

Absolutely; in the home behind closed doors, in the office, driving our cars ... everwhere in every way.

[Naomi]

:) I'm slow. Okay second question. Simple but ever so difficult ... Do unto others as you would have them do onto you.

I really like that answer. I like it in part because it is the base principal of so many different spiritual paths.

And where ever He is leading you - Just stay with Him and He will lead you to where He wants in HIS time.

Sometimes Jesus Christ spoke pretty strong to those who were not "brothers" but I am of the belief we are all brothers and sisters here and even when we don't agree we don't condemn one another and make sharp retorts back, but I don' see much of that.

If one responds in a civil manner even in strong disagreeance normally you don't get a heated remark. What I've notice is that sometimes we can bring that back in how we respond in disagreeance.

1Jo 4:4 ¶ Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

I'd say Naomi said it well, "Do unto others as you would have them do onto you." Many of the government programs that we have would not be needed if more people followed Jesus' example.

Would do unto others as they do unto you - work?

Amen & Amen

I recall a pastor or someone, not sure who. Once told me that EGW said that if church members gave as they should, we would not need to do ingathering? Anyone know for a fact?

[Woody]

I don't know pk - but I do know she indicated that the purpose of the Sabbath School was for Ingathering.

[ClubV12]

Ingathering? I don't know why the Adventist.org society does that....

Would do unto others as they do unto you - work?

***thinks of all the divinely evil things he could do some people***

Nope, probably not a good idea

Well now, I would be more like Christ I suppose, but right now I am afraid people here would not like it and attempt to kill me as they did to Him. AFter all, wasn't it someting Jesus said and did that got Him into trouble?

Lets not be a bunch of fools here, Jesus clearly said that the world will hate those who abide in the words of Jesus and do what Jesus said to do in Matt. 28:20. He also said that He did NOT come here to bring peace, but families will be torn up, father against son and things like that.

Most christians believe being like Jesus means to be 'loving' and being nice to everyone, but that is what Satan wants you to believe just as He did to Eve. Clearly, you have NOT read the words of Jesus close enough to see the truth. Please do a count on how many time the religious leaders wanted to kill Him. why?

I will tell you why, because you will not feel good when confronted with the truth after you have been believing lies for all of your life. I know, I have been there and done that.

I can give Biblical proof for what I am about to say.

God is indeed the perfection of what being "lovable" is. However God is also the perfection of what being "hateful"/"angry" is as well.

You are indeed correct that Jesus Christ irritated the Jews to the max so they wanted to kill Him. It is also true that the "Truth" He spoke was welcome "Good News" to many others.

Jesus Christ said He was the Truth (Jesus Christ = Truth) and the Truth cuts both ways.
