To: Tell It Right
If you read the context of how that word is used, most often it's talking about believers in Christ.

Do you believe Judas Iscariot to be a saint? He was a believer in Christ; yet he betrayed Him.

How about Lucifer? Is he a saint? He was believer in Christ; yet he rebelled against Him and even tried to tempt Him in the desert.

Taking things out of context is what I'd expect from the left, not a fellow FReeper. Below are two sentences back-to-back I typed, only the first of which you used in your reply. Look at the second sentence. I agree with you that "saints" in the Bible isn't talking about wishy-washy Christians.

"If you read the context of how that word is used, most often it's talking about believers in Christ. Often the specifics are that they are sure 'nuff believers even during hard times, so we're not talking about Christians in name only."
