Mohandas “Mahatma” Ghandi supposedly said, “I like your Christ.  I do not like your Christians.  Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”

What do you think?

    I think that Gandhi was trying to say that he think of him as a true god but in his eyes, Christians are nothing more than people who believe and are not god.

    I think that Ghandi is right because God is perfect and us Christians are not. We need God in are life to follow him to good choices and no one should compare to are God because are God is almighty. God is pure and full of love unlike us Christians, we are are nothing compared to God but is learning to do good choices to lead closer to Christ.

    I think this is true because christian’s aren’t perfect like god is ,lots christian’s make sins but god doesn’t make any sins. There is no one like god no one can be as god or as perfect as god.

    I think that Ghandi believes that Christ and Christians are not similar because Christ seems as if it is a part of his nature to help the people that are in need. Christ is the purest of people and which none of any Christians are pure.

    I think that Ghandi is kinda right because God is the perfect one and all should love him. No one should be compared to him. Christians are unlike God because they are not perfect and they sin. They do bad things even though they know the right way. God is pure and holy unlike Christians so therefore Ghandi is somewhat right.

    I think that he likes “Our Christ” beacause he was everything pure and good and Chritians are so unlike him because they sin and they are selfish and just like everyone they are not perfect. They are not like Christ because they do not live by the word of God

    Ghandi is saying that even though we say we are followers of christ and we claim the name “christain”, it does not seam as if we are. As god’s people our purpose on earth is to share his word. The way we represent or, hold ourselves is representing God. When one calls him or herself a “christian” they must hold themselves in a presentable manner, knowing that what they do or, how they act is a resemblence of god. People act in accordance to their beliefs. For example, if one says “love your neighbor as yourself” they would do so, enstead of the opposite.

    I think that this person needs to get a little bit of a reality check. Yes, us chritians are not at all like christ and we can never be like christ. Christ is so pure and holy that us humans could never live up to him. But you know what he loves us anyway. We have all sined and yet god forgives us anyway. So my main point to this person is that we could never ever be like god, god is the one and only that can forgive and love us like his does. There is no way of comparing god to anything or anybody.

    I feel that Mohandas didn’t understand much of what he was saying. We have such an amazing god that would do pretty much anything for us, just as he did dying on the cross for our sins! Living up to such a powerful and amazing god is near impossible. On the other hand i do feel that we should all try our hardest to obey all of gods commands so that we can be godly children. Lastly i also feel that we shouldn’t have that perspective on christians, many people are trying very hard to be sinless but you also have to remember we all fail at times.

    I think this saying is talking about like how not all Christians, follow rules and obligations of being a Christian. It’s like how some people say you shouldnt do, but some also say do as you see. Also not everyone sees the good in everything they tend to bring out the dark, which puts them down, an they end up giving up what they believe in. It comes down to being who you are and showing what you really feel. (your true character or inner self mind and body).

    That is morally wrong, God says that you should love every one even your enemies. “love other as yourself” pray for your enemies…..

    Mark 5:43-44
    43)“You have heard that it was said, “Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.” 44)But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.

    Also no one is like God and no one will be. Never will there come a day that God will let someone reign the way he does.
