I noticed a lot of people who claim their Christian views lead them to believe certian people are going to hell or not for whatever reason they believe? Don't you think they should put down their specific sect ( Catholic, Baptist, Jehova's Witness, 7th Day Adventist, etc..) Instead of saying that they are just Christian. I often do not agree with their interpretation of the Bible or Jesus' Teachings. After all isn't interpretation the reason why there are so many sects. How can they just make blanket statements for Christians?

Yes they should, just like your fellow 'Christian' who is preaching hate against the Hindus because they're all 'liars'.

When I speak to Chrisitianity in these questions I base my answers on the Bible. Now of course I may see things differently than my mom does or even my boyfriend in some instances. I try to be as balanced as possible, not to one extreme or the other. There should be some basic foundational beliefs amongst Christians. More and more they become more seperated.
A lot of the time people read a few verses and think that is it and that is all that is written on that subject and that is not the case. You have to really read the entire Bible to get a hand on it and read it time and time agian to make sure you are reading all things in the correct context. You also have to make sure that the translation of the Bible you are using is the most accurate intrepretation, that it was translated from the ancient Greek and not the modern Greek. There are so many ins and outs as to why doctrinal beliefs do not line up.
For me personally, when I read some answers other Christians post I am either rolling my eyes or thinking wow that was a cool way to put that. The good thing in a forum like this, is that you can get all sorts of Christians answering and get many different perspectives. You can pick one and go from there.

Hate is not a word Chrisitans should be using. God can be angered but he never hates. God is a God of love. And we are to pattern ourselves after him. I think when people associate themselves with being a christian they have to be careful of their actions. Someone is always watching you ,and your life may be the closest to a bible they ever get. So as christians we must be conscience of this. It makes all christians look bad when a preacher is charged with a crime, but what is your belief? Are you beleiving in man or our Lord? I don't have a heaven or a hell to put anyone in, but I know what the word tells me to do if I know someone ain't living right. It say not even to break bread with them.1 Corinthians 5:11. I do not have to hate people because they don't believe what I do. God will open the eyes of a person in a various religions to help others believe in him. Religion is made to satisfy your flesh. If you still want to drink be a Catholic, if you want to save money on christmas be a Jehovah's witness.not to say anything bad about people's religon, but your spirit and the spirits of those who don't know Christ should be our focus. I mean hate is an emotion of waste. I usually dosen't do anything good for you the hater. It just brings more bad stuff that if you love Christ you have to get rid of anyway. Interpertation comes from godly wisdom and understanding. You can interpert things anyway you want to fit you, but what does God want? You should not let blanket statements get you so upset. Yes it may make us look bad , but how is your added anger to the situation making Christians look? Just as Bad in my opinion and I am not trying to be offensive. So please forgive me if it sounds that way. Too many souls need to be saved than to waist energy on hate......

Man you know it, not just denominations, but unintelligent answers that have no biblical basis, like people replying, "read the Bible" when there are 66 books in the Bible, and if you really, or even know scripture, why would you not try your best to direct them to the exact passages needed? I am a educated believer, and it gets to where actual Biblical answers get ignored with the blind ignorance of the rest of the Body of Christ on this site

I think that it's because there are so many different Christian religions and we Christians have different beliefs and traditions within our own religions that it is hard or diffucult for some people to accept another way of thinking. Therefore, they just think that it's wrong to believe a certain way and that is where the hatred comes in. They tend to think that it's their way or no way. Yes, I am Catholic, but I have come to accept and respect other people's beliefs.

Ah little one. Christians don't hate. Only people calling themself a Christian hates. And yes, there is a lot of people on here that blurt things they think are in the Bible, and interpret Gods word in their own way. God will take care of the people who do that.

I think this is a generally applicable gripe. Some people don't seem to realize that simply putting a label on your beliefs does not imply everyone with that label has the exact same beliefs.

When God saved me, He put peace and Love in my heart. I love everybody. I may not always agree with them, or I may not like the way they treat me, but i still love them, and pray for them.
