Do Christian or so called Christians love one another? Do they even love others that are not Christians. What if Christians showed love for their neighbors, or strangers? How would that effect even their own environments around them? Do you think you can do in it in Jesus name, and not towards your own self interest? So... here is my CHALLENGE to all you so called CHRISTRIANS...... Show some unselfish love for your fellow person for ONE WEEK... Then post the results in this thread..... What about, as spider pointed out, those of us that ARE not christians ... can we also post on here things that we do that is perhaps 'unselfish'... I never noticed where jesus said 'In my name...' when he was helping another... and he helped many more people than I ever will... Footsteps appear everywhere you look... Yet few see them.

What hostility causes you to single out only Christians in this challenge? Doing charity or helping others just for attention or recognition (own self interest) will not net the results you are looking for. But doing anything with and from real love in your heart, no matter how small and insignificant, no matter who sees you do it, will bring the joy of love to the event, and joy to your heart as well. Love attracts love.

This has turned into a interesting thread.... No post towards the challenge. Just the usual talk, and excuses. All those I'm so giving, and caring... Post something as a humble example in this large cold world. Or just post more excuses & more talk. Take the Challenge.....

This is a daily 365 days a week...not just a week. I love my fellow Christians, I love those that are not more. I love the sinner just not the sin. I don't think if a Christian truly walked in the ways of the Lord that this would be hard at all. Yes it is a narrow path I walk and this thread is a perfect example of that. But I walk it with a glad heart and with love for all on this planet. What I find funny is the ones that are claiming it can't be done. Maybe a better one would be to Walk with the Lord for a week if you don't believe......and see what happens... God Bless. I stand with fC on this one!!!!

Actually, true humility would prevent anyone from posting any good deed they did. If you tell anyone you lose all the benefit of it in God's eyes.

And most that are nonbelievers already have, and thats why they do not believe any more. "nothing will make you an atheist quicker than reading the damn bible" -Penn Jillette

I agree..., but true humility is also not seeking self interests, or benefits for ones self. God still knows the heart.

So we agree. No one could take this challenge and remain humble.

Then what is the point of posting your good deed here?

Then what is the point of posting your good deed here? For some this is a easy, for others next to impossible. Some talk, Some walk For some a example....either way. Hopefully someone is helped along the way. Your question maybe answered within yourself.
