If you deny one Christian religion, are you not denying The LORD?

Question

All Christian religions, though all are slightly differant, want to obey The LORD, So if you deny, and put down, anouther Christian religion, are you not, in a way, denying The LORD?


I asked this question a few days ago, but have removed the example i gave, because i used the names of certain Christian religions, and people claiming to be Christians, insisted on posting such RUDE, UNGODLYLIKE ''ANSWEARS', so, in the hope that i will get a decent answear, this is the modified version(i deleted the first one.)

Yes....If you spell badly you are denying the dictionary.


Um.....I'm not Jewish....But sure, baby-back ribs sound pretty good.

Wow.....Because you have no proof to back your theory you choose to rag on a thirteen year-olds spelling.........Well you're a manly-man aren't ya'?

Answer 1

It seems that you are sincere with your question, and I hope you are not one of those individuals who is just looking for someone to agree with them to make a point. Well here's my answer...Any religion that points to Christ and Him alone as Lord AND SAVIOR is Christianity. In other words, one must recieve His payment for their sin and trust in Him alone for their salvation and they are a Christian. The problem is that many people associate certain religions with Christianity that are just not so. I will honor and do respect your request of not naming any, but they are out there. It's my job as a minister to know this, and I do so by studying their literature and talking personally to members. If one denies a religion that meets the criteria as I stated above, then I would say that you would be correct (situation dictates). That is only one of many ways of denying the Lord though. Christians deny him all the time in their everday lives when they become nervous or ashamed of being associated as a (Jesus Freak) or mocked for their beliefs. Let us not forget that Peter denied the Lord 3 times though and Jesus forgave him. But Gods grace is sufficient, and through our ignorance He still remains faithful. (HEB.10:23) Peace.

Answer 2

If you are a Christian and wish to spend your time disagreeing/ arguing/starting wars about which particular day Christ rose on, or what the exact salad dressing used for the feeding of the 5000 was then I would suggest you have far too much time on your hands, and this could be put to better use, like learning to spell 'another' 'different' and 'answer'. However, I find your question equally pointless if not entirely spurious. And, by the way, is there such a preposterous word as 'ungodlylike' ? Even if so,would, in fact, you expect any answer provided by a human respondent to actually BE 'godlylike' - surely that would be vaguely blasphemous.

Answer 3

I believe yes, that when you deny a religion, being christian or other, you deny the really existence of the Lord, because believing in a supreme being as does a Christian religion implies that we are under the compassion of the almighty "God", which is the centre of all beliefs, being powerful enough to create life, giving it and taking it back.

Answer 4

No, consider Revelation 2:6 "But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate". The Nicolaitanes were a subsect of Christianity at the time, whose deeds were far from Christlike. Because the church at Ephesus had fallen so far, and lost their first love, Christ chided them for it, yet praised them for trying those who called themselves prophets, yet were not, and denouncing them.

It is one thing to divide the body of Christ, by denouncing petty things (such as when to worship, what to eat, what to celebrate, baptismal issues), and to do so is wrong. Yet it is a whole other ballgame to denounce a belief that actively denies or distorts serious doctrine (Christ's diety, truthfulness about origins, sin, salvation issues, Christ being head of the Church, God's infallibility, the resurrection, the Second Coming, etc).

Consider the Gnostics, who believe that Christ is their Savior, yet believe God the Father is really Satan, and the serpent in Eden is the Holy Spirit. Consider the Unification Church, who believe that Christ is their Savior, yet believe Sun Myung Moon is Christ returned, having sex is their means of forgiveness from sin, and there is no resurrection? Consider Mormonism, who believes God was once a man on another world, and that there are multiple Gods, but Christ is also their Savior. Consider Jehovah's Witnesses who outright deny Christ's deity, and then rewrite scripture to fit their belief (ie John 1:1 "...and the Word was God" into "...and the Word was a god"), but also say that Christ is their Savior. Can you honestly say that denying these four subsects of Christianity is denying the Lord?

Their teachings are akin to those of the Nicolaitanes. They are unlike anything Jesus spoke about in the Gospels... they come from, quite literally in two of the examples above, another gospel.

"But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." - Galatians 1:7

Answer 5

The problem with some religions out there is that they are a bit cultic. Did you know that there are preachers out there who are not even saved yet they are out "speading the gospel." How can one truly preach God's word if they are not saved themselves? SOME religions don't even follow the Bible so how can they rightfully be called Christians? I will not mention these certain religions but there are 3 off the top of my head that I would not call Christian.

Answer 6

I think that Jesus called us to follow HIM, not any religion.
When you accept Jesus as your redeemer, you´re not denying The Lord. What really matters is your heart and not following religion. When you give your heart to Jesus and get to really know Him, you won´t be religious and you will start to care about people for what they are inside, even if they are "Christians" or not. If you choose to do good things everyday instead the evil and follow what the Bible says, having Jesus as your saviour, you´re not denying The Lord. In my opinion, what denies The Lord is not following his Word and Jesus.

Answer 7

I think it is wrong to put any religion down. I think i to be unchrustian to name call. But we choose to follow what we do because we believe our religion has got it all right, so we will debate and believe we are NOT denying the Lord.

Answer 8

There's a difference in denying a religion and choosing the one that's right for you. We are entitled to express ourselves verbally and through thought to make the best choices for us and our families. Denying one religion to choose one that we are comfortable with lets us channel all our faith to what we believe.

Those that put down another religion just because they don't believe in their philosophy are self-righteous, self-serving, and (in my opinion), not very Christian at heart.

Answer 9

Yes and No!!!

We are suppose to test all religion whether they subscribe to the truth, especially if they are Christian religions. The basis for any christian belief is Christ himself. No religion can claim to be a christian religion, if it denies Jesus Christ and all that he said and died for.

Answer 10

you are denying a religion not the Lord. For me, someone's religion doesn't matter. It is his relationship with God that is important. Try not to deny other religions, learn to respect their beliefs too. :)
