Bad Testimony

I was trying to share gospel to a people. I do share gospel to him but he refuse to become a christian simply because christian community in his place give a bad testimony. He told me that it was christian who cheat him; it was christian who gamble and debt badly. Though christian is only human being and subject to doing wrong things, christian were judged with higher expectation compare to non christian. There are no perfect man in the world, everybody is sinning. However, as a christian, we have to live a faithful life or we are condemned. Moreover, the name of Jesus is condemned and block people to become a christian. That is why it is hard to tell people I am a christian. It is like setting higher discipline level for myself and open for condemnation. I hope I am not a hinder for people to become a christian. I hope people remember me as a christian and say “Jesus Christ and Christianity is not bad.” when I die.

(John 8:1-11) But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" "No one, sir," she said. "Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin."
