Are Some Non-Believers More "Christian" Than Most Christians - a podcast by Jonathan Michael Jones

            Perhaps
you are like me and have heard a phrase like the following at some point in your life and perhaps even
recently: I know many non-believers (or non-Christians) who are more “Christian”
[1] than most Christians.
While I understand the sentiment behind such a statement, it is simply not
true. Without negating the responsibility of all Christians to live morally
upright lives, we should understand that everyone fails. If we did not fail, we
would not need a savior; yet, we do so in that way, we are all hypocrites. What
people usually mean, in a statement like this, is that there are some people
who do not profess Christ as their Lord yet live lives seemingly more righteous
than many people who do profess Christ as Lord. The problem in such a
statement, however, is threefold under the umbrella of answering with a
resounding no! I will discuss the most protruding three problems in that
statement, all of which are derived from what the Bible says about humanity and
about Jesus Christ.













[1] This is often the precise term used by those who
might present such a statement.
