Nearly everyone who claims to be a Christian is a liar! Christians are supposed to live their lives as dictated by their Bible but virtually none of them do. The Christian leaders are the worst offenders. Below are the biblical instructions on how you should lead a Christian life. Let me know if you follow all of them to the letter.

Let’s start with prayer. What do you do when you are sick or have toothache? Forget about doctors, hospitals or dentists. According to James 5:14-15 ASV "Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: and the prayer of faith shall save him that is sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, it shall be forgiven him."

Bet you don’t follow that!

Have any Christians married someone from a different country? Shame on you, because you are not following God’s word. Nehemiah 13:23-27 NLT "How could you even think of committing this sinful deed and acting unfaithfully toward God by marrying foreign women?"

Do you overeat? Not if you are a Christian. Proverbs 22:14 NAB " Put a knife to your throat if you have a ravenous appetite."

Do you have any gay friends? Then you are not a true Christian. Leviticus 20:13 NAB. "If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives."

Are you handicapped? Then you cannot be a Christian. Leviticus 21:16-23 NLT. "No one who has a defect may come near to me, whether he is blind or lame, stunted or deformed, or has a broken foot or hand, or has a humped back or is a dwarf, or has a defective eye, or has oozing sores or scabs on his skin, or has damaged testicles"

Have you ever in your life had sex with someone else’s wife? If you were a real Christian you would jump off a building together with her. "If a man commits adultery with another man's wife, both the man and the woman must be put to death."

Have you ever visited a fortune teller or astrologer? Bad Christian! Do you think that your God approves of that? Leviticus 20:27 NAB. "A man or a woman who acts as a medium or fortuneteller shall be put to death by stoning; they have no one but themselves to blame for their death."

Are you a member of or support Women’s Lib or wish to be equal to your husband? Not if you are a Christian. 1 Timothy 2:11-15 NLT. "Women should listen and learn quietly and submissively. I do not let women teach men or have authority over them. Let them listen quietly." Also Ephesians 5:22-24 NLT. "You wives will submit to your husbands as you do to the Lord. For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of his body, the church; he gave his life to be her Savior. As the church submits to Christ, so you wives must submit to your husbands in everything."

Do you work or shop or do any business on Sunday? Not if you are a real Christian. Jeremiah 17:27 NLT. : But if you do not listen to me and refuse to keep the Sabbath holy, and if on the Sabbath day you bring loads of merchandise through the gates of Jerusalem just as on other days, then I will set fire to these gates." Also Exodus 31:12-15 NLT. "Tell the people of Israel to keep my Sabbath day, for the Sabbath is a sign of the covenant between me and you forever. It helps you to remember that I am the LORD, who makes you holy. Yes, keep the Sabbath day, for it is holy. Anyone who desecrates it must die; anyone who works on that day will be cut off from the community. Work six days only, but the seventh day must be a day of total rest."

Have you ever had sex when the woman is menstruating? If so, you are not a Christian. Leviticus 20:18NAB. "If a man lies in sexual intercourse with a woman during her menstrual period, both of them shall be cut off from their people, because they have laid bare the flowing fountain of her blood."

Are you a male with long hair? Not if you are a Christian. 1 Corinthians 11:14-15 NAS. Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him, but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For her hair is given to her for a covering.

Have you ever looked at a woman and thought to yourself that you would love to have sex with her? If so, you are not a Christian. Matthew 5:28-30 NLT. "But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust in his eye has already committed adultery with her in his heart. So if your eye – even if it is your good eye – causes you to lust, gouge it out and throw it away."

Do you pray at church or support prayers at school or before government meetings or sport events? If you do, then you are not a Christian. Matthew 6: 5-6. "When thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly."

Do you collect for charity or openly donate to charitable organizations? If so, you are going against the instructions of Jesus. Matthew 6: 1-6. "Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: that thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly."

Are you a Republican who hates Obama? Then you and about 40% of the USA are not Christians. 1 John 3:10." This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother."

Jesus said "There is still one more thing you need to do. Sell all you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven." Luke chapter 18. Are you prepared to be a real Christian and do that?

Have you been drunk or had sex outside of marriage? Then you are not a Christian. I Corinthians 6:9-10. "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived., Neither fornicators nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God"

How many of you good Christians are divorced, after taking an oath before God "Till death do us part." Broke your holy oath didn’t you so you cannot claim to be Christian. John 8-44. "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."

Have you divorced and remarried? Yes? Then you are not a Christian. Luke 16:18 NAB. "Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery, and the one who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery."

Do you purchase lottery tickets? Tut tut. Proverbs 28:20. "A faithful man shall abound with blessings but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent."

Do you ever curse anyone or shout and scream at them? That is forbidden so if you do, then you cannot call yourself a Christian. Col 4:6. "Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person."

Have you ever lied or taken something that doesn’t belong to you? Then you cannot call yourself a Christian. Ephesians 4:15. "Do not steal. Do not lie. Do not deceive one another."

Do you listen to music that contains lyrics about sex or violence? Very bad! Colussians 3:2,5. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things

Have you ever been to a night club or strip joint? …Very naughty and not Christian like. Ephesians 4:17-24. "So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more. You, however, did not come to know Christ that way. Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness."
