[David McLaughlin]

I'm a new Christian (<9mos). The road is narrow and very easy to fall off. I think there are Christians who are faithful to their walk and those that say they are Christian though they have long fallen off the path. Those that study daily, and live in Christ will keep the truths you listed to heart and will be rewarded in His kingdom. It's up to the individual. Society has a strong pull though.

As an "intolerant" Christian I was doing some searching and came across this (edited to proove my point).

So I ask again, why as Christians are we intolerant to others, at the first sign of trouble we want to start busting heads.

10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves.

14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.

17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody.

18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.

19 Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay,"says the Lord.

20 On the contrary:
"If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head."

21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Romans 12
