Whether we like to admit it or not we all deny God’s word

You are incorrect.

You may be referring to cultural Christians, but not authentic Christians.

Your description of Christian behavior does not at all match many of the people I know of.

People who refer to themselves as “real” or authentic Christians; people who deserve to wear the badge of self-righteousness most Christians confer upon themselves are people who on a regular basis at the very least obey every one of these commands:

• Attend church every Sabbath or more frequently (Deut 5:12).
• Observe all the rules and regulations, sacraments, etc. (Your church).
• Disposed of all your worldly goods for the benefit of the church and the poor (Acts 2:45; Lk 12:33).
• Visit on a regular basis all those incarcerated felons, murderers, etc. (1Peter 3:19; Mt 25:24).
• Forgive everyone who sins against you and never hold a grudge or be angry with anyone (Mt 6:12-15).
• Don’t plan for the future (Mt 6:34).
• Don’t save money (Mt 6:19-20).
• Don’t become wealthy (Mk 10:21-25).
• Don’t work to obtain food (Jn 6:27).
• Give unquestionably to anyone who asks of you even if it’s your last dollar (Mt 5:42).
• Turn the other cheek when someone offends you to allow him to strike you again. (Mt 5:39).
• Judge not (Mt 7:1; Lk 6:37).
• Refuse to divorce your mate unless fornication was involved (Mt 19:9).
• Don’t have sexual urges (Mt 5:28).
• Continuously have sex with your mate (1Cor 7:5) (How you could do this and continuously pray is a mystery to me!)
• Make people want to persecute you (Mt 5:11).
• Let everyone know that you are better than they are (Mt 5:13-16).
• Hate your parents, siblings, and spouse (Lk 14:26).
• Never take a fellow Christian to court (1Cor 6:1).
• Give more than the judgment if you lose a lawsuit, (Mt 5:40)
• Walk two miles if someone forces you to walk a mile, (Mt 5:41).
• Uncover in church if you are a man and cover your head if you are a woman (1Cor 11:5-6).
• Take money from those who have little and give it to those who have a lot (Lk 19:23-26).
• If someone robs you, don’t try to get it back (Lk 6:30).
• Cut your hair closely if you are a man (1Cor 11:14).
• Never wear a lot of jewelry if you are a woman (1Tim 2:9; 1Peter 3:3).
• Fear God (Ps 103:11 plus a lot more).

Do you do all that?
