The Bible demands humility, tollerance(sic) and Christian forgiveness...

Such being the case, why do so few christians follow these demands?


FEW? Just WHERE do you get your percentages??

Do you want them to TOLERATE sin?  Forgive REBELLIOUSNESS?

Don't hold your breath!

Many of the Christians I have observed are very judgmental, intolerant, snobs who tend to look down their noses to non-Christians. I am in no way implying that all of them are this way (many of them are kind and friendly people), but I personally have observed a great deal of this behavior amongst them. It seems to me that this behavior is inconsistent with many of the teachings in the Bible. It has always confused me that these people chose to condemn the non-Christians around them rather than to attempt to help them. Doesn’t it make more sense to try to win non-believers over and enlighten them than to castigate them and treat them like swine?

I did not cite any percentages. I know of no source for such statistics.

Do you tolerate yourself or are you claiming not to be a sinner? What do you mean by rebelliousness?
