Theoretically, once you accept Christ, you should want to be more like him, to act like him, and others will be drawn to you because of the peace and happiness that abounds from you.
I don't see that happening here, Sal.
I think there are a couple of schools of thought re: Christians who rebel against Christ's teachings:
A person never truly was a "saved Christian" in the first place.
The Devil made them do it.
They're floundering for a bit.
The belief is that Christ died for our sins. All you have to do is truly believe that. It's not that simple.
That was the whole point -- "God gave his only begotten Son..."
That's why when Christians act less than magnanimous, it is very frustrating to see.
