Its true, Christians are not perfect, in fact, they are quite imperfect. As you look at Christians as a whole you must realize that each one of them is in a different place in their walk of faith. People are flawed, imperfect, sinful and just plain ignorant at times. Add to that the individuals who simply want to create confusion, and those that want Christianity to affirm their personal beliefs, and you end up with a melting pot of ideas, ideologies and personal viewpoints. Thats why as a Christian I am to trust in the truth of Scripture. It is God's Word to humankind.
At one point Jesus reminded the crowds that if they remained faithful to the end, they would inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. But those who did not remain faithful to the truth of God would end up outside of the kingdom wondering why they were not invited in. The truth is, we have to accept God as He is, and trust that He would never mislead us, and we need to understand that the culture around us is at odds with God. This is why Jesus told us that as a Christian (or follower) our citizenship is not of this world, but the next. Trust God, not the world we live in.
