I'm mainly talking about the so called christians out there.
You claim to be trying to bring people to God but yet you are actually dragging them away. If someone is sinning you say that they will go to hell. You don't even try to help them. You tell them that they are evil and have no right to be in heaven.
What is up with that?
Plus you be like you people of God but you cuss and spit lies and deception for your own personal life. You do evil things under the name of God.
The real Christians out there are out numbered by you foolish men and women.
You guys is making us that are struggling out there to stay right with our faith, your making it difficult to us.
Please stop doing this. Your being ignorant and wrong.

did you ever read the book of Jonah? Jonah was supposed to preach to a city, to save it from destruction by God because it was wicked. He made some half-hearted effort to save them, but finally said "see you're just bringing the wrath of God on yourself" and having made this pronouncement, he went off in the distance to watch as God destroyed the city. Well, God found the fault with Jonah and not the people of the city - that's what the rest of the book of Jonah is about. But, it's so easy to just look down our nose and curse someone to hell, saying they aren't worth saving anyways. it makes that sort of "christian" feel so morally superior to be the "innocent" instrument of someone's destruction. But that's not how it works, is it? Jesus came down and didn't even stop when they killed him. He still loved them and forgave them. That's what it's about.

I guess I didn't know people were saying those things......are they? I AM a Christian, and I don't spit (unless of course I get a bug in the mouth) I don't curse, and I don't do evil things under God's name. Though I do sin, and I do things that maybe I shouldn't, but never are they that bad....and I ask for forgiveness. I don't know about what other people are saying, but if you are a sinner, which EVERYONE is, you will not go to hell. As long as you believe Jesus died on the cross for you you're good, though you should try to live a good life.
Anyway, I hope you don't continue to generalize/stereotype Christians like this.
Have a good day and God bless you.

Well, I must say I agree with you that Christians should not be pointing fingers and telling you you're going to hell! That is not the way God wants us to approach people about His love and His word. We are supposed to talk gently and lovingly, not badmouth or criticize anyone, even if they believe differently. You are right when you say that people who do that only drive others away. That is very sad to me. And God says that those people will pay for that. It is not the way we, as Christians, are supposed to behave. I am sorry that you have been confronted that way and I pray that you will meet some Christians who are truly acting in the manner of God's good grace and love! God bless you! But, remember, even Christians who are acting in the will of God make mistakes. Sometimes they cuss or they do or say things that are not pleasing to God because they are human. The difference is, that if they are truly wanting to live in God's will, they will recognize their mistakes and ask God's forgiveness!

Ignorant? "christians" is capitalized, "you be like you people" should read "you claim to be like people," "deception for your own" should read "deception in your own," "guys is making" should read "guys are making," "your making" should be "you are making," "Your being ignorant" should read "You're being ignorant."
I am curious as to with what faith you are struggling to stay right? I know of very few Christians who refer to other believers in the way you have. If you are not a Christian, how is the behavior of the people whom you are addressing affecting your faith?
You seem to be very angry and confused. While it is true that people who remain apart from God will end up in hell without receiving His grace through Christ, I know of no Christians who would tell someone this without explaining to them how to receive salvation through Christ Jesus. Certainly, there are many people who claim to be Christians but who spread hatred and deception in His name. I understand that this can be confusing to someone who is not a believer or who is new to the faith. However, such "false prophets" quickly have their message denounced by real believers. It may seem that the "false prophets" outnumber real Christians, but please keep in mind that this behavior is a tool of evil and does not represent Christ or His church. I would suggest that you study the Bible if you ever have any questions about discerning Christ-like behavior. May God bless and keep you.

Your statements are strong. Yet, not all Christians think that way. I believe that God wanted me to tell you to stop worrying about how other people honor Him. Those evil tongues will be taken care of by God himself. God, specifically wants you to keep your focus on Him. You are not here to judge; nor presume that the words that come out of a person's mouth is of god. Let God judge them. Be Still and Listen. Your faith will be rewarded and compensated. It also bothers me when I heard people speak against God, but what can I do except give the problem to God who will work it out. Additionally, I agree that, the devil is busy, as evident by all the crime... we know he's trying to enlist as many people on his side, as satan is getting ready for battle. So, don't be fooled by the things you see and hear. Just trust in God and everything will be heavenly. I hope to see you in heaven.

You have got A point, But people are Sinners all of us, and Judging other people is a sin in it self, so Satan plays Christians against other people to cause them to sin, this is a spiritual Battle we as Christians are fighting so don't Judge them judging.The Lord said to forgive seventy times seven a day,and we are to forgive as he for gives us. On the other Hand there are a lot of Luke warm Christians out there and they will be Judged Like everyone else in the time of Christ's Judgment according to their works. And when they see the lord they will wish could have done more for him...Fair Well and Peace to You and Yours.....

People need to understand that without the Lord, they will be separated from God and all that is holy for eternity. Although that sounds pretty harsh to some, I would feel better knowing that I tried to show them the way to life eternal with Jesus.
People need to make the choice to believe. Unfortunately, some Christians want to beat them into submission rather than show them how great things can be with Jesus.

My Mother and Father raised me in the Methodist belief and both of them were Godly Christians.They believed that Faith in Jesus was the only way to heaven.They lived what they talked,my dad told me when I
was about thirty that he knew that Jesus would never loose you once you were his my mother believed that if you don't walk like Jesus did you weren't saved(hold on).I was saved at a missionary Baptist Church
but it was about three years before Jesus showed me my SECURITY
in Him.God showed me that this verse means JUST WHAT it says.
Heb 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
JESUS HAS ALREADY OBTAINED ETERNAL LIFE FOR US!!
You just keep on keeping on and trusting in Jesus Christ as your Lord.
Don't let satin or anybody else steal the JOY of YOUR SALVATION.
God bless you and fight the good fight of FAITH.
In Christ in Love,

Honestly.. i apologize on behalf of anyone whos made it hard for you to stay right with your faith. No one is perfect, and we all fail. Don't let anyone influence you and place obstacles in your way, theres always going to be people who are going to dissapoint you and discourage you, but remember that God loves YOU and He died for YOU... what anyone else does it their problem.
I had a friend who I looked up to her alot.. she was strong in her faith and when I first started walking with God she helped me alot, and then out of no where she left everything and I never heard from her again. Literally from one day to the next. It hurt me alot and I didn't understand why it happened, but God showed me that people come and go, and they fall, you just have to make sure you keep standing, and love and help as many people as you can, as many times as you can, in as many ways as you can.

I am a Christian but I often feel like a hypocrite and it causes me a lot of frustration. I am a Christian, but I feel like I am also being told that I will never be good enough for Heaven.
