I question whether such people that call God a liar can truly be Christian. Christ really didn’t stutter here:

That is my view also.

I find it difficult to call Christian, any person who will not be honest with those living in sin simply because they are worried about losing a friend or family member.

I even find it difficult to call a person a Christian if they vote for a Democrat with full understanding who they are. Ignorance is one thing, but once the truth has been shared with them, they are then ignoring God and the Holy spirit to continue living in sin or supporting those who do.

Thus for a Christian to support those who do, or promote evil, makes them as evil. Evil and God cannot be used in the same sentence. So how can I refer to a person as a Christian if they go against God?

You can imagine that I have few true friends and many family members ignore me. However, I find comfort in Christ because he will never leave me, nor forsake me.

Understood, and agree. Our job isn’t to conform to the world, but to be its light.

Rom 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

This really isn’t that hard. Do we love and fear God more than we love and fear men? Such “Christians” clearly love and fear men more. Aren’t such “Christians” essentially denying Christ before men?

Mat 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

That “shall deny” is the Greek “arneomai” and is in the sense of “contradict or reject.”
