"Gandhi once said the problem with Christianity is that few Christians behave Christ-like."

Can't argue with that (to a degree). I only have to look at myself.

But Gandhi missed the truth. Christians belong to Christ by the new birth--"You must be born again"--and quite apart from anything they do or don't do. It's the rest of the world that is under a curse—"Cursed be anyone who does not do all things written in the book of the Law."

Jesus was the perfect example and still he was rejected. God sang a dirge (John the Baptist) and played the flute (Jesus) and the naysayers refused to respond on either occasion. Sometimes He veils truth as a Judgement—"No sign will be given...except the sign of Jonah".

Bottom line: Christians exist for God's pleasure and enjoyment, not that of the nitpicking, mocking pagan world.

That does not necessarily mean a curse on the "rest of the world".
