Have you ever noticed....

How when a person who declares themselves a Christian makes a mistake, like speaking out of pride, or calling someone else an insulting name, or gets caught exaggerating or telling a lie - the world system immediately declares all Christians overbearing, offensive liars who should be immediately burned at the stake?

But, whenever a non-believer, especially one downright opposed to God and Christianity does exactly the same type of things - they are declared to be bold, brave, and creative?

I'm not justifying sin. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of non-believers.

That's the great thing about being a Christian; if I confess my mistake (sin) to God He is willing and able to immediately forgive me. If I'm truly repentant, I do not have to feel condemned by what I've done. I will probably still have to suffer the consequences of my actions - as far damaging a relationship with someone or appearing to be someone that cannot be trusted but God still loves me anyway.

At least I'm not continually living in a lie and being praised for my wrongs!

How warped is that?
