First things first...I want you to know that I am a Christian. The reason I want to share this is because I want you to know where my opinions stem from. Christianity is meant to be a lifestyle, not just a religion. If you believe something, your life will be influenced by it. I am definitely not saying that I, or any person, is perfect; but after receiving Christ, I strive to live a life worthy of His teachings. If you are not familiar, here are some characteristics mentioned in the Bible:
Galatians 5:22-23...But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. (These are characteristics a follower of Christ should have)
on the other hand, Christians should NOT reflect the following...Galatians 5:19-21...The acts of sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery, idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
