Has Christianity been shared and taught incorrectly?

Question

How should Christianity be taught? Is there a proper way to do it? And should it be forced, or be presented as a choice?

Answer 1

Yes, if they teach you to believe it.

Answer 2

I wont pretend to have the answers to all your questions, but I do believe the foundation of Christianity is accurate and very strong, however some of the general facts have been skewed and adjusted to fit the "translators", "preachers", "teachers" etc. own agenda throughout history. I would never agree for it to be forced on anyone, that is not what religion should be about. However, I am not sure if there is a proper way to teach it, because there is no uniform method of teaching Christianity. Unfortunately, because of the way some have "spread the Word", it has turned many away from it.

Answer 3

Christianity, aka Catholicism which translates to "universal" is the one true religion. Our Lord instituted it himself. He rose St. Peter to the seat of the papacy as our first pope and it has been passed down through generations. Jesus instituted the holy priesthood (He was the first priest), made the apostles bishops, gave them the holy oils and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. He taught them how to offer it at the Last Supper. Unfortunately, we live in difficult times, since Vatican II, usurpers have taught heresy under the name of "Catholic" and confused the masses greatly. Traditional Catholicism is the only true form of Christianity. It will remain so until the end of time. It should never be forced because man has free will. He can choose Heaven or Hell for himself and he does.

Answer 4

I don't think that Christianity should be taught at all. sorry, it hasn't made the world a better place and in fact I believe that most Christians are hypocritical and very judgmental. no one should be forced to practice it, that's torturous. It should be a choice to answer your question. the bible wasn't written by God but by man. People twist the bible into the way that it should be interpreted.

Answer 5

We all fall short of perfection, so even the most educated and "spiritual" person has presented the message of Jesus Christ in a biased way. I think Christianity shouldn't be taught. It should be lived. I heard somewhere once that to tell people about Christ we should pass the message using our lives. And sometimes you use words. this way you never force it.

If you have any questions, read about it for yourself in the Bible. That's what it's for.

Answer 6

As the apostles teach many desire to be teachers but don't know what they are talking about, neither do they know where they affirm the things they teach. Also, Peter says as there were false teachers in old times there also shall be false teachers among us. Yes and James says they blaspheme that worthy name by the which you are called. Considering the amount of confusion, it has become increasingly hard to even defend the term. My suggestion to those that have made a choice to understand what it means to be Christ-like is to learn especially from those that were chosen to be eyewitnesses of his majesty and glory, namely the apostles. Thank God for a report that never changes

Answer 7

Has Christianity been shared? Sharing presumes that one party wants/needs what the other party is offering.
Missionaries? Indigenous People Living in harmony w/nature?
People without deadly diseases, social problems that the sharing teaching people brought?
Glorious!
Taught incorrectly? Absolutely convoluted, twisted and abused.
Disgusting...

Answer 8

It is always a choice, even if someone tells you you have no choice. Jesus taught that Christians and non-Christians would grow up side by side, in the parable of the wheat and the weeds. Of course, the sensible thing to do is to choose Jesus. It is so kind of Him to offer forgiveness to us!

Answer 9

Jesus the person was never copied but Jesus the concept was always used right. It is a power to change men's minds beyond money and technology. Women realize the Jesus concept before men do. It is part of the creation of two sexes and the sensory ablities we are given by God. We all have a brain far to powerful for us to use but we use it. Try to find what is more powerful to manage lives than manipulating the brain.

Answer 10

No,only those who are lacking competence for as the bible. Such as extremists and fanatics who are taking away and adding to the scriptures. Nothing should be forced but presented in a spirit of excellence.

Answer 11

It should be a message of God's reconciliation of his created ones (us) to himself and healing of the diseases and emotional pain we carry. It should be a message of freedom from bondage of addictions, etc. Presented as a choice of course Jesus never forced anything on anyone. Presented in an informal, non threatening way.
