Most Christians Are Frauds, Chilling Study Suggests—Only 6% Live Out A Biblical Worldview: Although a majority of American adults identify as Christian, only six percent of Americans...

Although a majority of American adults identify as Christian, only six percent of Americans actually live out a biblical worldview, according to a shocking new study. Partially in response to this finding, the Family Research Council (FRC) is launching the Center for Biblical Worldview, directed by David Closson, in order to encourage Christians to live out their faith authentically. The Center will feature the work of veteran public opinion researcher George Barna and theologian Owen Strachan.

“Dutch theologian Abraham Kuyper once remarked that there is not one square inch over which Jesus Christ does not cry, ‘Mine!’ Kuyper’s point is that the lordship of Jesus extends to all aspects of reality and our lives,” Closson told PJ Media on Wednesday. “Unfortunately, this crucial insight has been largely forgotten today, even by many in our churches where we have a diminished understanding of Christ’s lordship.”

“But Paul is clear about the scope of Christ’s lordship; it includes everything. Colossians 1:16 says, ‘For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.’ This has implications how we think about our resources and material blessings,” Closson explained. “If all things exist and are sustained by Christ, they are His already.”

“I’m afraid we have lost the biblical concept of stewardship, which teaches that everything we have is a gift from God and is to be used for His glory,” the director lamented.

In coordination with the launch of the Center for Biblical Worldview, FRC commissioned a survey of 1,000 American adults. The survey found that while 51 percent of adults claim to have a biblical worldview, only six percent of them actually answered worldview questions in a manner consistent with the Bible. Only nine percent of those who identified themselves as Christians answered the questions correctly.
========================================================================
Among the questions whish researchers asked: “Which of the following do you consider to be the best indicator of a successful life?” Respondents chose from these options (biblical answer in bold):

• Fulfilling our potential through the application of our intellect and the scientific method
• Consistent obedience to God
• Experiencing the highest possible levels of consciousness and unity with the universe
• Experiencing personal happiness or freedom
• Living a healthy and productive life, without economic oppression
• Being a good person

Only 29 percent of respondents chose “consistent obedience to God” over fulfilling one’s potential, experiencing personal happiness, being a good person, and other options.

If you don’t like science
There’s always religion.

Who is this god that only kisses the asses of the elite powerful and rich, and torments
us ?
That only favors the the winning ball teams,
And only favors the winners.
Because when they win, they are all hell bent on praises to the lord and Jesus Christ their savior. The losers , not so much.
It’s these things that puzzle me .

These people do not follow the teachings of Christ. They use their so-called religious beliefs as a self righteous bludgeon to condemn the behavior of those they disagree with.

It's people that have no clue who are easily puzzled.

Christians are frauds. We know that, now you know. I guess if you start to examine your own actions you may become Christian.

A Believer stands on the righteousness of Christ alone. He/she who believes in God in Christ is not "made" righteous; we are "declared" righteous. We are only saved, sinners. We are still sinners. When an unbeliever scoffs at our "hypocrisy" just admit it. So what? No one in this life gets out alive. At least we have hope. The unbeliever has no hope and is relying in futility on his/her own goodness to think he/she will be remembered in eternity by whatever god may be in their mind.

I've said for years, that Satan's most effective weapon against Christ - is a self righteous christian. It's no wonder so many are turning away from God and churches, I mean, who wants to belong to organizations that delight in passing judgement on them, and are flaming hypocrites?

Not the least bit surprising, most people who identify the most vociferously about being christian don't have a clue what christian values are, they think it's about hating gays, protesting abortion, denouncing other religious beliefs
