Christians, Churched Folks, & The Churchy

Can you define them?

This is actually a FAQ. I wanted to make sure I did a little research before I answer this one. I'm a Christian but not a Christianity scholar. I didn't want this post full of just my snide opinion & memes. Oh, if you came here are ready to argue? LEAVE!!!

A Christian is a Human that chooses to live for God by following the ways of Jesus Christ. It's that simple. There is no set way to practice Christianity. But Humans and our right to choose have bungled that up by adding our opinionated interpretations with the different denominations & numerous other divisions. 

In my humble opinion, the opinionated interpreters are a subset I call "Churched Folks". "Churched Folks" are religious. They follow the ways of Christ but not without precise man-made interpreted laws. For example, women can't wear pants is what many Christians are taught. They use this scripture; A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wears women's clothing, for the LORD your God detests anyone who does this. (NIV, Deuteronomy 22:5). When that was written no one wore pants. Then fashion changed.

Again with my opinion, Churched folks don't function with common sense and rarely realize the faults in the interpretations of their forefathers. Realizations cause arguments on doctrines & more division. And none of this lets True Christianity Shine. But none of this is new. Who do you think the Pharisees & Sadducees in the Bible were?

Ok, Churchy is a style of behavior. The dictionary says; excessively pious and consequently narrow-minded or intolerant. But like Obamacare, it was probably a slur that has now become a term of endearment. Remember on The Simpsons, the Flanders boys were jumping on the trampoline. That is probably the best universally known example of churchy behavior I can think of. LoL

Ever been in the grocery store and a hear "Hey brother, do you have any more 1% in the back". I have a feeling that person has spent lots of time in church. Ever said Amen in agreement to the statement, "It's hot outside". Yeah, that's churchy. And of course, I admit to being a bit churchy. Okay, more than a bit. LoL, The funniest churchy thing I do is clap when I am really feeling a secular song. I have clapped through the Wobble, once. And will do it again.

And there is nothing wrong with being churchy, to me. And if you are a Christian and don't act churchy, that's good also. Every Christian has a different personality & experience with Christ. All those make us beautiful in his sight. Unless you are being intolerant or pious like churched folks, Be You, Be Christian!!!

Do you agree with my views? Got some other examples to Help the post? Let me know in the comments. The discussions are welcomed.
