Answer 1

Why do those who aren't Christians believe that Christianity is wrong when it's right to those who are?
Just the opposite of what you asked.
You pretty much answered your own question. If someone believes it, they think it is the truth.
I myself am Christian and I never tell anyone that their religious beliefs are wrong. That is for each individual to decide.
I don't understand why you say that if Christians would read the Bible, there would be less of them and more Atheists. That really makes no sense.
Christianity is a religion and religion will never out live itself. Christ will not disappear and his sacrifice will not become non-existent.

Answer 2

People of all relgions say theirs is the right one, not just christians. that is because all religions contradict eachother in some way which means obviously if one is true, the other cant be. Lots of christians dont read the bible and if they do they read a "living bible" which is basically some one else's idea of what the bible says and then they tell the story in simple english so idiots can read it. Even so, i think all christians should be required to read the Torah before the new testicle, it would atleast give them and idea where everything came from. Half of the crap in the bible is mistranslated anyway, for example the word that christians claim to be "the virgin" mary actually has never meant virgin it just means "young woman" who even knows if she was really a virgin!

Answer 3

Truth is Truth whether you're a Christian or not. I can say the sky is green all I want, but that doesn't make it so.

Christians believe that their religion is the truth because the One they follow says He's the Truth (John 14:6). If we don't believe Him, we can't say we're Christians, can we?

You're right about Christians not reading their Bibles. We're in a time when Bibles are so prevalent yet we're Biblically illiterate. That's sad because the Bible is full of life. You can tell we're not connected to God and His Word because our world is slowly dying, but Jesus is the source of life (John 6:35; John 8:12; John 11:25; John 14:6) We need to get reconnected to the Life-giver. http://www.adventistdirectory.org/new/FindByType.aspx?EntityType=C

"christianity has out lived it self time to move on"
You may think so, but God is working in my life so I'm going to hold on to it. You should get connected to the source of life too. You'll never be the same (John 10:10).

P.S. To the person who asked about this question already being asked too many times: I say ask long as people are questioning and searching for answers, we Christians need to lead them to the truth. That's our calling (Matthew 28:19).

Answer 4

Sounds like you're trying to impose your views on those of us who hold different views.

Hey, how about a little tolerance?

And this precious little tidbit from you is, no offense, one of the Top Ten Most Ridiculous Things I've Ever Read:

"i dont think any christian has ever read there bible and if they did there would be a lot less christians and a lot more atheist in the world"

If I were you, I'd quit this now, before you make yourself look even more foolish -- and more intolerant.

Answer 5

Wow, sounds like you know some really obnoxious Christians.
But, guess what, Christians are people too and no one is perfect, no.... not one. Rejecting the whole message just because some people aren't walking their talk is shallow.
My reply to you would be....Have you read the Bible? Cover to Cover-every word- and really studied it's message? I have, and I am a follower of Jesus Christ.
If you really dare to do that my friend, I guarantee you will have a life changing revelation from God. Forget the imperfect examples of Christianity you see all around you and just look at Jesus Christ and what he taught and how he lived and died and rose again. Yes, I totally agree that Christianity as an organized religion is messed up....big time. Some of it is down right sickening. Jesus himself was against the "organized religion" of his day....the hippocritical Pharisees and Saducees.
His message has always been- I Love you, I died for you.....Have Faith in me-Love God and your Love your brother as your self. That's it plain and simple.
This message has stood the test of time and will last until the end of time......see you there, brother.

"i dont think any christian has ever read there bible and if they did there would be a lot less christians and a lot more atheist in the world right."

Wrong.
Spend some time doing some honest digging, then come back to me. (I can say this because I've done it.)

Answer 7

Point # 1 I am a Christian Pastor
Point # 2 I am a Bible believing Christian
Point # 3 I have read my KJV Bible several times
Point # 4 Anyone that lays claim to any religion is going to also claim it is the correct one. Whether it is one of the main stream religions or a fringe religion if they didn't feel it was the correct one they wouldn't claim it.

Answer 8

Do you honestly think there doesn't exist a large number of Christians who have not only read the bible in it's entirety numerous times, but have also studied philosophy, ancient history, comparative religion, sciences, and then some?

It's not like congregations don't have intelligent skeptical members that ask thought provoking and difficult questions.

Answer 9

It usually is, but ,4 example, a select amount of Catholics could get 2 Heaven (but do NOT try it). We GET our info from the Bible and I, a Christian, read the Bible daily (I try 2, I mean :)
Christianity is here 2 stay and LITERALLY will B here 'till the end of time (Christ renewing Earth).
