Why do many Christians work so hard to make the Bible say that Jesus will Condemn non-Christians?

Question

Isn't this judging?

I don't think that He did. Nor, do I think that any was condemned in the Bible.

The Way to me appears to be through the Judgement of Jesus Christ, which we will ALL get regardless of religion.

If we have accepted God then we have quite possibly accepted Jesus, right?

Why work so hard to theoretically condemn Muslims (for instance) rather than arguing the possiblilty of salvation. Rather than considering the possibility that they have a hold of some of the Truth.

I counter that we must discuss Jesus with other religions that they may understand God, not that it is a necessity that they convert (though this appears to be purposely unclear).

You intend then that we can discuss God with people while simultaneously condemning all of their ancestors. I would say this is a strong arm tactic.

Rather say, the safests way is...

I find it despicable that this is not your hope at very least. You just must be right...

Answer 1

I call it a scare tactic. People like this either misinterpret what their minister says and then they run with it or perhaps the minister himself employs scare tactics over the pulpit.

Answer 2

that is not the issue.... it is not that Jesus rejects non-christians, but that non-christians reject Him.......

The way to the Father is through Jesus, according to Jesus. And so what you believe really does matter...Muslims accept Jesus as some minor porphet, but reject what Jesus said about himself. The have made their Mohammed superior to Jesus, so there is no reason for Muslims to be considered "saved."

Salvation is based on accepting salvation through the self sacrifice of Jesus for our sins. If people reject that sacrifice, and try to get to heaven on their own merit or deeds, it will not work..you see, people have their own standards of "goodness." But these standards are not up to those of God's. Only when people come up to God's standards, accepting Jesus, would they make it to heaven....

if people are not interested in complying with God's standards, then going to heaven should not be an earthly concern...

Answer 3

Not judging you are talking about something you A. either do understand or B. are making fun of.

The entire purpose is to spread the word of god and save your soul, you are preverting the work of God and making sound evil.

Poor bas tard.

Answer 4

Because the bible was created in the first place to bring people to Christ, not away from him. It testifies of his power, his divinity, his life and everything Christian. True Christian's are people who believe in Christ, teach of Christ, have faith in Christ, follow Christ, keep his commandments, apply the Atonement and endure to the end.
The bible teaches these things as well.

Answer 5

good point.

the problem with that is then we have to say its OK to practice another religion such as Judaism or Islam because they both accept G-d.

when we do that then its hard to claim we need to go out and convert people to save them.

-that is something Christianity as a whole will never do

Answer 6

God wants all to be saved through his Son, Christ Jesus.
Christians are announcing that.

Answer 7

Christians don't have to work at all. The Bible says what it says. Read it for yourself and take it up with God. After all you have to answer to Him. You don't have to answer to Christians.

Answer 8

It is the basis of ANY religion that "I am right in my belief and you are wrong in yours". Therefore I get to go to whatever reward waits after we die and you just die (or suffer horribly for all eternity).

Answer 9

the christans hate to loose athiests do not care

Answer 10

MOst of them are white racists anyhow
