Over the last couple of years or so, I’ve had various times to wonder why Christians insist (at times) on behaving in Christ-less manners.
- Making someone else look bad
- Undermining authority
- Paying back spitefully what someone else did unwittingly
- Spreading an evil report about another
- Reacting viciously against contradiction or correction
- Dishonoring parents
- Belittling children
- Returning evil for evil
That’s only the beginning of the list, of course. But why do Christians indulge that kind of behavior?
When I see it, I’m left feeling puzzled.
And (at times) angry or vindictive or hurt or depressed or scornful.
Which raises another question: Aren’t those also forms of pre-Christian behavior?
