Being Prejudice

     Do you know what that means?  Well the dictionary says, "An unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason."  Now I know I am guilty of this, many of us are.  We sometimes judge people before we get to know them.  Some of us, NOT all of us, but SOME of us are very judgemental and prejudice to some people.  Lets say you meet a Muslim.  And if you are a Christian, you automatically know they don't believe your belief.  Some will be very rude, and not talk to that person.  And some treat them like any other person.  While others wait till there gone, and talk bad about them behind there back. 
     We should never shun, reject, be rude, or talk bad about ANY nonbeliever.  You SHOULD show love, respect, and be polite to EVERYONE.  Would being rude, and mean show someone to Christ?  Will talking bad about a nonbeliever and be disgusted about them, show others and that person to Christ? No!  Never!  That hurts you, God, the nonbeliever, and even sometimes the people around you!
     We must remember that we are always being watched.  There are people out there, who watch Christians and just wait for them to slip up and sin.  So then they can say "Oh well, look at them, if they do it how can they be saved?" 
   Now, I said EVERYONE.  I did not say "To only Christians." or "Only Baptist."  I said "EVERYONE!"  Because, God loves everyone, and He wants everyone to go to Heaven.  Not just the Christians, or just this certain race or that certain race.  He wants everyone.  Because He loves everyone. 
     When someone is not a believer in Christ we have to be an example of Christ for them.  Show them the way to God.  Not shunning and rejecting them.  That would be unchristian like.  God loves everyone.  So show your love to everyone as well.  (I am not saying,  "Go door to door, and shows God's love.  If you want to do that, then make sure you a have a group of people and and adult with you!  It is better to be safe than sorry.!)
