Although I don't agree with your statement, if I were to assume your statement as being true, by that calculation I doubt that the rest of God's people who belong to other religions see themselves as being weak.

Of course, I am trying to address many assumptions here.

(the rest was added later)& the remaining answer has been re-edited a bit.

Seeing how this whole thing is panning out, I think a re-write of my answer is in order, because we are starting to become blind to our own behavior towards you.

My original answer had many implications hidden within it.

Mainly, your assertion that Christians are weak may not be shared by the rest of the Christians.

Secondly, that the rest of us God’s chosen ones definitely don’t feel weak (it’s not structured into our belief system)

And finally, if my instincts are correct, there seems to be an assumption within your question, but I am choosing not to get it, because I am choosing not to be insulted by it.

I think the rest of us should do the same.

God's people are so "weak" because they have forgotten that they are part of God and here to express creation through themselves...They look outside themselves for God, for Jesus or for proof of both. They look outside themselves for answers and to blame others for everything they cannot control or obtain.

Once they remember, they will find that the Kingdom of Heaven is not something we go to when we die, it is available to us here and now IF we choose to live a life of Christ Consciousness. To do this, we must first accept all responsibility that our world is a complete creation of our previous thought process. We must do a thorough inventory of ourselves and rid ourselves of all that we hold against others - i.e. we must forgive. In this inventory, we must also identify our emotions that we no longer are able to control. Once we can still ourselves and we have forgiven, then we can hear that still, small voice that we need for guidance.

When we know ourselves as co-creators with God and as such, free, then we are no longer weak - we become ONE with the Father and powerful.

noo....they're just awaking;) lol. PEACE

First when you said God's people I thought you were talking about the Jews, since it said from the beginning in the Bible they were the chosen people. Me I see us all as God's people.

I wouldn't say too busy as much as disenchanted by their churches, people fall to sleep in church. But if a football game were on they would be excited and wide awake. It shows they do not feel the teachings as their own, that is sad because it was meant for everyone to understand. It was meant to free everyone, but when people don't want to hear they can not hear what is being taught.

The Bible is clear that man's problem is sin and that no man is exempt from being a sinner. Although we are saved from the penalty of our sin at salvation, we are being saved from the power of sin in our lives throughout our entire lifetimes - this is quite a process of becoming more and more like Christ. We are far from perfect and will not be until we are glorified in heaven.

Are Christians failing every day to reach the standard? Absolutely. There is not a perfect person out there. The question we must ask ourselves is: Am I growing in Christlikeness? and are they growing?

If someone has personally offended you or failed you, you might need to confront them about their actions or words (Matthew 18). Talking with them will help you clarify whether their failure was real or perceived. Perhaps they are not even aware of their failure and your bringing it up will be a help to them to grow as a person. If it is not something you feel you need to go to them about, then you can find some resolution in understanding the depravity of man and the fall of man. The extent of the fall has pervaded not only mankind but creation as well. Take a day and read about it. Most of all, keep reminding yourself that every man's offense is primarily againt God and not against you (Ephesians). Ultimately, any person's failure in his relationship to God will be expressed in his relationships to people.

We are all in need of God's mercy, love and grace. May that thought help you extend some of that mercy to others as it has been extended to you. A battle yes, but we must try our best not to be like the Pharisee who was thankful he was not "as bad as" others, but more like the publican who was humble and knew he himself was in need of God's mercy.

God bless.

The Church of today is far from the Church Jesus started. The values are not the same. Jesus said to love your neibor as yourself. I hear that preached in church, but it has been diluted with Republican agendas as well as the veil that has developed over our eyes and we have been sleeping. Jesus said to His desciples that they had seen him do great things and that they would do even greater things. Peter walked on the water as long as he believed. Jesus said to ask and it shall be given. There are many clues in there about this living matix or web that if we access it, we can move mountains, walk on water, heal the sick, cast out demons, etc... These 'supernatural powers' were given to us and we fell asleep and now we are dawning on a new age, an age of enlightenment. I would like to find a timeline of inventions. I think that we would see that each stage of our civil evolution, a shift happens in the way people are thinking and accessing the matrix/God and the ideas that are all already under the sun. Many people are 'awaking' right now as we enter a new age, an age of enlightenment. We will find more and more poeple becoming aware of this and accessing it on their own and then searching for other people who have had similar experiences, and because of the internet, we can all connect and share ideas and learn new things which changes how we see the big picture more clearly. I am so glad to find a group that includes other Christians who understand this and don't think it's "new agey" in the cult sense. This is a new age, but an age of enlightenment.

No one is weak but the lack of strength appears to be manifested as weakness.

it seems that all present day organized religions are a deterioration of the tenets of it's first recorded master.
if true compassion for our fellow man were the foundation of any 'so called' religion, the world would be back on track again.
what we see around us is, at best, the mere shadow of the spiritual light.
and, maybe, those who are less hypocritical realize that to commune with the 'Father' can be more fruitful in individual silence

To the contrary, I don't see people losing faith, but rather more people are waking up to their true relationship and connection to the Divine. They are no longer being held in bondage by what has been indoctrinated throughout the years and are discovering and experiencing their own individual connection to God and as a result they are able to be a reflection of that divinity, influencing those around them in a much more positive, uplifting way - I see this as strength rather than*weakness*.

With this experience comes the realization that God is in everything and everyone so we don't have to go sit in a church to commune with him ( unless the individual finds solace there ), we can do that anywhere.

I believe that many Christians never make it past being baby Christians, so they never find just how much authority, power, control and force that they own as Christians to call into existence through the word what they want to manifest. They never realize they can heal people through Jesus, they never realize devils and demons tremble at their presence and they can cast out with a word gone! They never realize every word they speak creates their future be it negative or positive. They never realize how to pray as if God is doing it right now and to give thanks for it now. They never realize they must let go of the prayer and do not look back but know that Amen means it is done. They never realize that when they say something they should expect results. They never realize when they experience negative things like sickness to ask God what he is trying to teach or correct them. They never realize once they get that message they are free to command that sickness away and it will go.

Even being an advanced Christian I know Jesus is looking on me saying "But you don't realize you are way more than even that!"

But we are all awakening at different levels and speeds, the important thing is being there to help and guide each other with love and compassion through Jesus.
