Christians, saints or scumbags? Well, I think there is Christians of both. Some is even both saint and a scumbag at the same time. It may just be the way we view them that says it all. Before my church starts the series, I hope to state my own views and lets see what should differ or be the same. I welcome all who wish to come and join me in this highly debatable topic.
Saints, one officially recognized especially through canonization as preeminent for holiness, one of God's chosen and usually Christian people. So by this defination, they are just and do what is right according to the laws in the bible. By their action, do glory to the temple of God and be a good testimony. The bible tells us that when we act in accordance with the word of the law and obeyed Him in all, all that is asked shall be added unto thee.
Scumbags on the other hand, is a dirty or despicable person. In this context, it should be one that make use of christianity and proclaim it in their own unrighteous act. An example can be that one claim that one is a christian but he worship the world and behave in the manner of the world and in so, claim that this is righteous and that they are in the new testament so they can ignore old laws.
This two is poles apart and there can be christians of both end. The good thing is that at least they make a decision to be on one end, some just are to afraid to let people know who they really are and they act in both manner. In front of christians, they are saints. They tell you they pray all the time and they are close to God and they blabber about how well they obey the law. But infront of non-believers, they drink and smoke and do all things unjust. If this is not all, they proclaim that what they did is alright and nothing wrong. Obviously they didn't read much of the bible.
I can't say I am a saint because I do make mistakes and disobeyed the law sometimes. I do have times i do not pray and behave ungodly. In fact many christians are like that. They are not perfect so they come before God and humble themselves to ask for forgiveness and guidence. So if anyone really dares to say they are saints, chances are that they are scumbags. But all this is merely my own opinion. I might be wrong as i am just mere human and thats why i need this series. Even more for those who don't know god. Welcome all who want to come for this series and for those interested please leave a message so i can give you more informations.
