Judging the unfinished product
Q: Is there widespread media bias against Christianity? Against evangelicals such as Brit Hume and Sarah Palin? Against public figures who speak openly and directly about their faith? Against people who believe as you do?
Critics of Christian behavior are judging the unfinished product (Christians). "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be ..." (1John 3:2) Judging the unfinished product by the standards of the finished product (Jesus Christ) is futile. The promise is that He will work in us and on us "till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the fullness of the stature of Christ." (Ephesians 4:13)

"Unfinished product"?!. That's what the cosmos is. Nothing will ever be "finished", even "sweet Jesus", wherever his finite bones are.

1 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
(Mt.3:1-3)
He came into the world of Jesus Christ, but not all accept His. In His Second coming will all see. For many, this will be the last look before the eternal death ...
