If I praise God, what does it matter to you (non-believers)? You will have to answer one day!!?

Question

I'm sure you'll all call me everything, but a child of God for this, but I'm sick of this. All of the people out there that hate Jesus are just cruel. There are many people in the world that I could do without, but I don’t make it my lives mission to bring them down. I know that Jesus told me that it will be like this Matt 5:11, “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.” I understand that, that gives me hope.

The bible also says in Hebrews 11:6, “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

All my fellow believer, brothers and sisters in Christ, keep your head up and don’t let nonbelievers get to you. God is good and that doesn’t change. Jesus said you are BLESSED because others hate you because of his names sake. If you are hated you must be doing something right. You know God and his ways, don’t be discouraged, but encouraged! Know that Jesus is real and is coming back.

Philippians 2:8-11, “And in human form he obediently humbled himself even further by dying a criminal's death on a cross. Because of this, God raised him up to the heights of heaven and gave him a name that is above every other name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

Answer 1

WORTHY IS THE LAMB SEATED ON THE THRONE, HE REIGNS VICTORIOUS!

Answer 2

If there is one god then why is the so many religions? Hindu, have a god, budda, muslumes ,christanity. jews have a god,they all have gods. If there is supposed to be one god, then sombody is wrong?
If Jesus was a jew, then why are'nt we all jews? that is what he practiced.
christainty is a way of life. the way you want to be trated, and treat people like the way you want to be trated. Hinse the 10 commadments.
So where did god come from? The Eguiptains belived that there was sun gods, rain gods, storm gods, today we know that they were wrong.
I know the bible says when he comes back whats going to happen. he also says he is only taking with him 144,000. 144,00 people is not that munch sinse we have 5 billion people here, you have a better chance of winning the lottery than going with him when he comes back.
the bible was written by man and some of the gospels are not evening in the bible, why is that? I think it is because the leaders of that time thought it would interfer with what they wanted.
Of all the religions Christainty is the newiest, why is that? all the ouither ones are several thouands of years old.
I do not belive because I do not see how a being is just up there making stuff. where did he come from? I mean the bible sats moses and outher people in the bible were alive for over 500, 600, or 900 years old? That is bull, not with all the deiases back then, nobody lived that long.
Show me your god? has anyone seen him? who? where ? and do not say faith that is an answere for a person that dose not have the answer.

Answer 3

I'm agnostic, I don't hate anyone, but I do resent the fact that you judge me just because I don't believe EVERYTHING you do. I have good values, and believe in treating others as I would like to be treated. I believe in helping other people and having a positive outlook. Apparently you think there is something wrong with me just because i don't take every word of the bible to be true in a literal sense? Come on now, how old are you, 12?

P.S. A true Christian feels good that others will have to "answer one day"??? I'm begging some of you to think for yourselves - does that really sound right? To take joy in knowing (or thinking) that other people, who would never intentionally hurt anyone, will be punished some day? You should not take pleasure in other people's suffering. I'm scared. Not of god, but of people like THAT.

Answer 4

If you're so "sick of this" why did you post it here? Do you understand that as Christians we are not to "offend in word or in deed?" While I understand and agree with a lot of the things you speak of, the way you expressed yourself is very abrasive. While the Word of God describes itself as being "sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing asunder even unto the joints and marrow and is a discerner of the thought and intents of the heart," it doesn't give you free license to slap people around with it! Respect the power of the Word to covert; don't wield it like a weapon against your fellow man. If you're looking for a fight, fight Satan with it! The Scripture says, "Woe unto the world because of offences! For it would be better if a millstone were hung about their necks and were cast into the sea and drowned!" I'm not sure I'd want that comparision drawn upon my life! Some people just don't want to be touched spiritually. While I agree it's a sad state of mind to be in, we are not supposed to make people feel bad over it. GOD is the one supposed to do the convicting through hearing the Word and their willingness to obey! All we are to do is witness and lead by example, not whine, moan and groan whenever we're having difficulty witnessing. Keep praising God, but don't whine about non-believers NOT praising God.; just keep praying for them and speaking the truth to them. To GOD be the glory, not us.

Answer 5

Just carry on living your life for Jesus and don't worry about what others say. Your in good company, look what people said to Jesus. Be an example by Godly living, there will always be people who will say stuff. God is our refuge and strength.....He is with us all the time. You are truly blessed.

Answer 6

It doesn't matter what you believe, or what you praise. It does matter when you push your faith into arenas that it doesn't belong. You ask for respect of your beliefs, but have no respect for others beliefs, as evedenced in your question and rant attached. Religion has no place in many aspects of sociotal daily life, especially in politics. When religous people push their systems of belief onto others via public policies it's just plain wrong, in any morality. When a christian, who is supposedly following the codex of what their god supposedly said, uses their religous beliefs to deny legal marital rights to homosexuals they are dis-obeying the words of their diety, Jesus. Using religion to explain bigotry is both awful and wrong. Your god told his followers to treat others in the way that you wish to be treated, so when christians say that they wish to deny legal marital rights to homosexuals, they are in fact saying that legal marriage rights should be revoked for christians as well.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. If christians want respect, they must respect the beliefs of others. The fact of the matter is that when christians try to impose their will on others, as they do frequently in the political arena, they are ignoring the words of their god, and showing how little respect they have for others. When christians say that the non-believers will get theirs at some point, as you have said, they are attempting to slap the faces of others with their "we are better than you" mentality and that is not only infitile and rude, but also clearly insulting.

So, how is it that you can ask inflamitory questions that show no respect for others and still maintain that you are in fact actually behaving in a way that your false god asked you to, or in a way that people of other faiths could respect?

So to answer you stupid question, no it doesn't matter that you praise a false god, but it does matter when you're an idiot.

Answer 7

You are so right. All of this made me cry, because I know there is a light at the end of this long tunnel.I hope and pray that you will do God's will, now, and forever more. It is so hard now days to do what is right, and I hope that through hard times, we can all come to realize that God does exsist. May God Bless you, and Be with you.

Answer 8

If I DON'T praise your "god", why does it matter to you? Whatever happened to "judge not lest ye be judged" and "turn the other cheek"?

You seem like a very typical, narrow-minded, judgemental religious zealot. Your kind are a dime a dozen. Don't you have an abortion clinic to protest outside, or something?

Answer 9

good for you.( and i mean that seriously). however, who says atheist hate jesus? we just dont belieive that he was any more special than any other human. i respect your beliefs (so long as you force them down my throat) and whether or not you pray doesnt matter to me at all

Answer 10

Why are you sitting in judgement of others? God Complex?

Answer 11

Ah a true Christian. Don't deny that it makes you feel good that all non-believers will "have to answer one day."
