Why do Christians not obey Jesus' commands? In John 2-3 the bible states "We know if we come to know [Jesus] if we obey his commands. The man who says, "I know him," but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not with him."

you are right Lee...people are many times deceived to think they are serving God, when in actuality they aren't. The Bible says in Matt. 15:8-9 that "they honor me with their mouths, but their hearts are far from me..."

85% of America says it's Christian, but look at the moral state of our country...you think that percentage is correct?

Jesus said "you will know Mine by the fruit that they bear." So, just like some people in this life who try to say they "know" certain ppl (athletes, movie stars, politicians, etc.), when in actuality they are only from the same hometown or just saw them at a venue & that's it--the same way ppl front about knowing God when they don't even read the Bible & pray much.

Now, many would say this sounds judgmental, but God calls us to have discernment & know the truth--so this is just stating & pointing out the facts.

Ask me anything
