But it should be re-worded. "Christians aren't perfect, just forgiven, so don't expect them to be anything special, or more trustworthy."

So we should always factor that Christians lie into our relations. Often, if you care and pay attention, they lie to support their belief system. That has to be factored into their belief system too, as to entire validity.
What you say, awareness, is true, but incomplete. Yes, Christians can lie and cheat and steal. I have tasted this first hand. I have seen one I love become no different than a Judas. What I went thru was literally worse than murder.

But there is more to the story. Shall I also give you all my horror stories of unbelievers who have wronged me? Unbelievers who have lied, cheated, stolen, deceived, cussed me out, discredited me, punched me out, etc. I'll still take the children of God any day of the week.

When I read your story about Mel P getting in your face about you asking permission what to think, I chuckle. Is that all you suffered? Sure it is insulting, but I have been thru worse things at work. That's just how life is sometimes. And now we have the grace of God!
