I go to a school, where their about 90% of the Christians are Protestants, most Baptists, Methodist, CoC, ect, but here is my thing. They say they believen Jesus, then an hour later, they talk about having sex, or other things that are against the commandments. Does this make them false? I mean, I know we all break the rules, but so many people seem to think that after you are baptized, thats it, nothing else, the bible is just a thing with you on Sunday. I mean really, I ignore this, but its becoming insane.
+Most of them think cause they are "Christians" they are supposed to hate Muslims. I hold a fondness for Muslims cause a higher percentage of them are more dedicated then Christians, even though a lot of Christians are, but I mean, we are supposed to love others, especially the enemy. Which Jesus say's the Enemy is anyone who isn't Christians. My best friend is a Pagan who is a Lesbian and I'd fight anyone if they were mean to her, cause she is a nice person, and would never talk bad about me, but I know a lot of Christians who'd do that, and spread rumours, and ect.

I don't think smoking weed is not neccessiraly, bad, cause its a plant, not man-made, like cocaine or other things, but I'd like it to be illegal cause you can die from it, and it would just be another cause of driving fatalities. I don't do it, but if they legalized it, I might grow it lol, I need a new plant to grow anyways. JK, I don't grow plants, I raise cattle.

ChristianKnight, - Hi.
Being that you have a lot of so-called Christians around you, may make it easy to fall in with the crowd. Of course, that would be the easier way to go.
Our Lord, however, came unto His own - the Jews - and they received Him not. But Christ maintained His purpose - to do the will of the Father that sent Him. He reached those that He could.
God has put you there for a purpose, too, and that is to be light - even in a world where they think they already know Him. As you live for Him, you will be able to influence some for the Lord. Keep your eyes on Christ and His will for you. Keep your distance from their sin, love them, but also be ready to tell them why you are different - because you want to please your Lord.
Ultimately, if you find that you cannot serve Him there because you are not strong enough - find another school. Don't let your testimony be weakened and destroyed.
Remember, He is coming back soon - and His reward for faithfulness is with Him.
"Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world: Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ" (Titus 2:12,13).
God Bless.

Well, I'd like to go to a Private Christian School, but they cost too much for a simple farmer like me. +The one near us sounds like a cult, I know the headmaster their, she is insane, like she is bi-polar extreme.

We cannot serve God and the world or put in Jesus' words, "we cannot serve two masters." The things that are in opposition to the word of God are OF the world. Jesus said, "I wish you were either hot or cold, but since you are neither, I will spew you out of My mouth."

This is becoming absolutely ridiculous with society and schools are becoming worse than ever now. Everything is pretty much a cesspool now and really we can try to help them by praying for them and talking to them. Overall, I have no idea what to do about these things.
