Weirdest Christian beliefs?

Question

I've heard of:
1. Mormons wear magic underwear - gives them supernatual power.
2. Pentecosts dance with rattlesnakes to prove their pure spirit.
3. Chrisitan scientists won't go to doctors.
4. Some Protestants believe the Pope is the anti-christ.
5. Some observe the Jewish sabbath.
6. They all think they're the chosen ones.

Any others?

Answer 1

they believe in god >.<

Answer 2

I am a "born-again" believer because I have accepted Jesus Christ as my Personal Saviour. THAT is simply according to the Word of God (the Bible).
1.) "Mormons" are not "Christians" to Christains. 2.) "Pentecostals" live by "experiences" rather than "by faith". 3.) "Christian Scientists" wrongly apply "law" to "grace". 4.) Those of #4 are wrongly "speculative". 5.) The "some" of #5 are called "Seventh Day Adventists". and 6.) ONLY those who are truly "IN CHRIST" are the "chosen ones"...as "Israel" is the "Chosen Nation". I hope this "clarifies" just a little...or just a lot.

Answer 3

1. Most of us don't consider Mormons to be actual Christians.
2. Same as #1. They are just freaks
3. Never heard that one
4. Some do believe that, dont' know why
5. Never heard that one either cuz our Sabbath is Sunday
6. The Bibles tells us that so yeah.

Answer 4

Religion, at least modern religion, is weird by it's very definition. Magic underwear? When i was 12 i had a crush on the King of All the Mormons, Donny Osmond, so i researched the religion. The "garment" is more for purity and chastity.

Answer 5

DOING THE MATH IN THE BIBLE WHEN ALL SAY NOT TO DO IT

Seth born in year 130, [Gen.5:3]; Seth was 105 and had; Gen.5:6;
Enos in year 235, Enos was 90 and had; Gen.5:9;
Cainan in year 325, when he is 70 he has; Gen.5:12;
Mahalaleel in year 395, when he is 65 he has; Gen,5:15;
Jared in the year 460, when he is 162, he has; Gen,5:18;
Enoch in the year 622, when Enoch is 65, he has; Gen.5:21;
Methusaleh in the year 687, when he is 187, he has; Gen.5:25;
Lamech in the year 874, Lamech is age 56, in year 930 and Adam dies Gen.5:5;
Methusaleh is age 243 when Adam dies,
726 years to flood is age of Methusaleh when he dies at age 969
Gen,5:27; born year 874 + 969 = 1656,
it was year of the flood when Methuselah died.
Lamech born in year 874, was age 182, he had, Gen.5:28;
Noah in the year 1056 [Adam dead 126 years],
Noah was age 600 Gen.7:6; [born 1056 + 600 =] the flood came in year 1656.

1656 + 350 years after the flood, Noah died in year 2006, Gen.9:28,29; At age 950.

Shem age 98 at time of flood , and age 600 at death, died 25 years before Abraham died. Gen.11:10[Shem was age 100, two years after the flood]; He was age 448 when Noah died, and age 450 when Abraham was born, Abraham is son 20 in the genealogy of Jesus Matt.1:1-17; Abraham Gen.12:4[age 75]; 25:7[age 175 died];

Answer 6

I would like to remove from your list #5 and # 6, and replace them with:

5. Ghosts being the souls of dead persons.
6. Christmas, December 25, is the birthday of Jesus.
7. Homosexual practices are acceptable to God.

Answer 7

The christian belief that A God that IS love would burn any one in a fire, & A God that is Just, would not find any crime that would equal a eternity of punishment, maybe those who hurt children, but they dont deserve to live forever even if it were while burning. I think that belief causes alot of people to become athiast, because of the fear they could never be perfect enough to go to heaven & in turn would be tourtured by a loving just God 4ever.

Answer 8

How about "Jesus is God."

By the way -- I have met a Christian Scientist who does not go to doctors. I'd like to meet a Mormon with magic underwear.

Answer 9

5. Not that weird. Christ was Lord of the (Jewish) Sabbath.
6. Not all of us, some of us accept our plainess and non-importance (of course, those are the good ones who usually ARE the chosen ones :)

Answer 10

i recognize that Jehovah's witnesses do not settle for the idea of the Trinity, both. this is no longer that we believe that Jesus is God's son- this is that we do not believe in the Trinity that many "classic" Christians take difficulty with. We believe that they are 2 separate beings, operating in unity to succeed in a similar purpose- like a husband and spouse. they believe that they are 2 aspects of a similar being, like my id as spouse and daughter... i imagine. i quite do not get the total trinity theory, yet whats up, to each and every his own.

Answer 11

Dont know about weird beliefs...maybe the 72 virgins thing with muslims....but you are wrong on #1...mormons dont wear magic underwear and they dont believe anything gives them supernatural power.
