Kaibeto,
Maybe not. I understand your speaking about the individual Christians life. I'm not sure if your making a statement or asking a question or speaking of others or about yourself.
If your speaking about your fear of falling short then your not alone. We all do fall short though not as many as should accept or realize it. Even Paul realized that he was unable to meet even his his own expectations as to what a follower of Christ should be.
If we could aheive it on our own then Christ would not have died on the cross.
If your speaking about the relationships between individuals in the church there are many things to consider.
First ,not everyone in church today is a christian and that persentage is dropping, not growing. It has become for far to many a bad habit to look lateraly rather than verticlaly. (at each other rather than up to God ) in the churches today.
Those who do not have Christ in their lives (only church or religian)are concerned about their position. The inmature are still sruggling with their own walk. The mature either accept the failed church system or leave because of it.
The churches have for the most part become toxic to those seeking to know Christ or live a true christian life.
Individualality is not accepted in the world or the church. No one wants to do for christ or another on their own. It's is too easy to give a few bucks to the offering and let the system take care of the needy, lost, struggling, hungry and tired. We are no longer people ,just faceless customers. getting personal and showing concern for the individual ,getting to know and care about each other does not suit the purpose of the modern church which survives of the herding of thousands.
Doctrines and legalism have replaced simple faith. We now have a majority of non christians telling the others what a Christian is suppoed to be. And that is based on what they believe a christian is supposed to do and look like ,not what they are.
In the USA the church has all but sold out to the corporate structure. It as a whole has become a business based on economics rather than Christ. It just might be selling cars or time share condo's as peddiling the word of God. Eternily better off for the individuals will be judged for their part in it.
The individual that does not conform is suspect. Just that simple. Follow the red line, be at the right place, do the right thing, at the right time and look neither to the left or to the right.
No one wants to know or be known by the another. fratinization is not permitted. Human frailty is not to be displayed fear or doubt not to be spoken and seekers should be seen and not heard.
The church consists of three positions. The officers, non commisioned officers and the inlisted. (Like the military)
Officers trained tested and certified (by man)to run the church.
The staff and seasoned teachers councelors, and untrained ministers.
The inlisted ,those that follow the other two. in the church individuals are ranked, paced into position and expected not to move accept in accordance with and as the structure moves.
