God encourages us to love one another as christians. We are to love each other in respective of the gender, social status, tribe, denomination or tongue. By doing this, the Bible says that the world will know that we are one in Christ. 1 Thessalonians 4:9, Hebrew 13:1
However there are certain christians among us who are difficult to relate with. They are brethren, quite alright. But they have certain attitudes that everyone should be careful about.
They could be every good thing you can think of in the church; good singers, nice Sunday school teachers, dedicated ushers, good in evangelism and several other activities.
But their behavioral attitudes are nothing to talk about. As genuinely saved christian, you have to be very careful with them or else you will be having issues regularly.
These set of believers are as follows:
1. Christians who are quick to judge or condemn fellow christians over an issue even before hearing or knowing exactly what happened. They are rumours carriers.
2. Christians who don't believe you're both equal before God just because of disparity in social status, educational background or ethnicity. If you're not in their class, you're never a real christian.
3. Christians who always disrespect fellow christians because they feels they are better off financially and spiritually. The opinions of others are always secondary as far as they are concerned.
4. Christians who easily feels happy by belittling or making mockery of fellow christians. They always see themselves as the best among others.
5. Christians who are ungrateful. No matter how much you do, it is never good enough for them.
6. Christians who are inconsistent in what they tells you. Their words and actions never go hand in hand.
7. Christians who are always full of pride, braging about themselves, their families, their jobs or businesses. They use every available conversation to show why you should see them better than you.
8. Christians who don't have empathy towards other fellow believers. They don't know how to be of help to the needy even when they have more than enough to give.
9. Christians who reach out to you only when they need something, not when you need them. As far as they are concerned you are not in existent except they need help from you.
10. Christians who always exaggerate over everything they have or acquired. If they have one thing they will tell you it's more than one. They lies expressly.
All these types of Christians doesn't add value to ones faith, rather they poison the faith of other. And if you don't avoid them you might end up having issues with them on regular occasion.
