Sirhan Sirhan is a Christian.

I'm pretty sure that Jesus stated in the New Testament that Christians would be judged by the fruit of their lives.

Now, correct me if I am wrong, but I'm pretty sure that murder breaks one of the ten commandments.

Now, that means Sirhan, Sirhan was not a Christian, no matter what he called himself.

Matthew 7:20 King James Version (KJV)

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Luke 6:45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

You're correct that murder breaks one of the ten commandments and is considered a sin.

You're incorrect if you believe that breaking a commandment means a person is "not a Christian". In fact, if we applied your argument that breaking a commandment means someone is "not a Christian", then I doubt there would be ANY Christians in the world at all.

All Christians (and indeed, all people in the world except Jesus himself and the Virgin Mary) are sinners and the Bible points this out numerous times. Committing a sin doesn't mean someone ceases to be a Christian.

You could argue that Sirhan Sirhan's actions showed he was not a GOOD Christian and did a poor job of living up to what Christ wanted, but nevertheless Christianity was his religious belief.
