OK if you christians and similar actually knew your religion you know that you are ignoring Jesus and Gods' word. You are supposed donate all of your money to the poor, you are supposed to condem homosexuals, adulterers, even kids who disobey their parents to death. Jesus was pro-slavery, anti-woman. But today not only is "God's" word ignored, it's completely turned around and the opposite is being done; nobody is actually doing God's word today! So does that mean if it were all real, that everybody would go to hell. (Now muslims god the right idea, they actually do practive their teachings.)

Ok each and every one of your answers have proved to me and any intelligent person that you do not know your religion, every answer shows you do not know the bible, I have read the bible, the koran, and the book of mormon, I know what I'm talking about... yours are just collecting dust.

...Ok here we go.
"Donate all of your money to the poor" God only calls some to do that. Each of us has our own calling and gifts from God. We should all help the poor and needy, but some of us are to become doctors or missionaries, etc.
"Condem homosexuals, adulterers, even kids who disobey their parents to death" "'If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.'" (John 8:7)
"Jesus was pro-slavery, anti-woman" Give me scripture.
Kthx.

Here's what you don't understand. Free Will. If we all have a free will - then we chose hell ultimately. There can't be real love without free will. Love is a choice just as much as it's an emotion.
And according to Jesus - the law is intended to show man his sinful nature. Even the Old Testament speaks of a second covenant - one of grace.
You don't make a sound argument that Jesus was pro-slavery. And even the old testament had a year of Jubilee which set slaves free after a period of time. As far as Jesus being anti-woman, he appeared first to the women believers at the tomb.
You seem to prefer seeing Christianity in terms of the LAW and only the LAW, and that's the flaw in your argument. If only the law existed - we'd all go to hell. But that then doesn't answer the question of why Jesus felt he had to die as a substitute for us. Take care. Hope you find your answers.

Evidently, you read only the parts of the Bible that say what you want it to say. God was not pro-slavery, and Jesus was not a woman hater. Jesus was the best friend women have had or will have. He was always on the defense for woman. The Lady at the Well, the adultress at the gate, the woman with the issue of blood. You should quit picking out just the parts of the Bible that agree with your misguided way of thinking.

Your summation of what Christians are supposed to be like and to be doing is so far from Biblical Christianity that it is completely ridiculous. Go back and read the book of John and see how Jesus behaved and what He asked His followers to do. Jesus was pro-slavery and anti-woman? Ha! If you are going to pose as an intellectual you will have to really read the Bible before you reject it.

If the Bible and God were real, only believers in Jesus would be forgiven their sins. Everyone else would burn.
By the way.... you're not supposed to donate all yer money.
comdemning is forbidden in the Christian faith - of anyone.
Kids who disobey their parents get scolded - nothing more.
And the Muslim god is far worse.

No. Not everyones going to hell. If you repent of your sins and live for God. We are forgiven for all our tresspasses by the Grace of God. We pay our tithes and God blesses us for that. It is the only place in the Bible that God say to test Him in these things. I pay my tithes. I give of my first fruits and I have never Gone without.
Jesus was not pro slavery and loved womwn very much. He forgave the prostitute and said Go and sin no more. He healed the woman with the issue of blood. Your faith has healed you he said. I wish I could sit down and talk with you and answer all your queston point for point. I am pleased you are at least asking questions and seeking. Jesus says seek and ye shall find, ask and it shall be given you, knock and the door will answer. I am not trying to preach to you. I am a pastors wife and I truely want to help you if you want answers about your Lord. Contact me if you want. Ill answer more if you wish. God Bless you sweet child.

First of all, you are putting all Christians into one category. Not all Christians do what you say they do. And it does not say we are to give everything to the poor. We are to give generously to help others and 10% of all our earnings to God but He does know we need money to survive and take care of ourselves and our loved ones. And He also does not say we are to condemn anyone. Only God has the power to condemn. We are to love everyone and not point fingers, judge or ridicule anyone. I agree that many Christians twist God's words to their satisfaction and it saddens me that so many times I hear of so-called Christians badmouthing and ridiculing others...this is NOT what God teaches us to do. For you to say "NOBODY" is actually doing God work today or obeying His word, is wrong. There are those who do God's work and love all people. ALL of us are sinners, we are accepted to God's Kingdom only by His Grace and His Mercy! Please don't believe that ALL Christians are as you say because it isn't so! And I hope and pray that you have "connections" with those who truly love God and follow His teachings! And, by the way, if God was "pro-slavery", He would not have sent Moses to free His people. And if God was "anti-woman", He probably wouldn't have saved Mary from being stoned to death!

And you my friend have not cited your source. You know every Christian is going to tell you that the only way to get to heaven is by faith in Jesus Christ. And by the way, why would we want to condemn homosexuals, adulterers and kids who disobey their parents to death? We, as Christians, would pray for them, not condemn them. And I highly doubt Jesus was anti-woman, but without as source, you sound as wrong as anything anyway.

What you miss in the teachings of Jesus is indicitive of your unwillingness to love others, so you spend your days seeking ways to hate. We have many perfect things on earth right now because perfection in what we make is necessary, but this perfection is illusionary, it doesn't last. What has lasted is faith, yet you seek to tear it down? Why not just live your life and let others live theirs, there never has been a way for everyone to agree totally, so why seek such?

Might I suggest that you track down a movie called "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" based on a Tom Stoppard play, which was based on Shakespeare's "Hamlet"? And that you watch the tennis match scene? You might learn a few things about critical thinking and rhetoric.
