How can I claim to be a Christian and yet not accept all people as they are, as Christ

IMO, We can't always accept others just the way they are because we are HUMAN. We have human limitations. We are not Christ. He didn't/doesn't have the same limitations we do.

I understand........ and yet I know "Through Christ All Things are Possible" - this is what I lean upon when I encounter people (to see and to treat them all equal) no matter their age, status in life, religious belief, sexual preference, nationality, or color of their skin... etc - and while I may fail at times, I succeed more than not.

To ME this is what God has enabled me to do..... and one of the things that many others look up to me for, like me for, even that of my husband. I guess in all I have been able to forgive and to accept people beyond the norm, for I was given to me as a SPIRITUAL GIFT of and from God.

................. WE are ALL given SPIRITUAL GIFTS from GOD and I know each is different.
