If God is Merciful, is God's Mercy limited to Christians?

Answer 1

BigPappa,

Actually, God has declared that His mercy is extended to thousands, of those who love Him, and keep His Commandments. That does not describe all Christians, by any means. Most Christians, say that God's Commandments have been nailed to the cross, despite what Jesus says in Matthew 5-17. As far as loving Him, I would say that it's pretty hard to love somebody you don't know. If you have not recieved His Spirit into your heart, you cannot know Him. It is the only direct contact you can have with The Creator, who is our Father. Christians, are no different than any other religious group, in one respect. God has no denominations, or churches. He has children. He deals with us as individuals, and in no other way. When we stand before Him, He isn't going to be interested in which religious group we belong to. Our hearts will be placed on the scales, and if the Spirit is lacking, we will be found wanting.

Answer 2

No. Agnostics, Atheists, Christians Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, all experience a merciful deity. Religion is not merciful Religion is of man, Mercy is of God.

Answer 3

No. God's mercy is not limited to Christians. He can have mercy on whoever he desires to have mercy on. His grace is a completely different issue. You cannot receive God's grace without faith in Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins.

Answer 4

God's mercy is not limited to christians at all.He perform some mercy towards non christians to show His glory and power.His word the Bible says He is not interested at the death of the wicked.

Answer 5

Yes , god shows no mercy to people who do not believe in him(he still loves all people despite their beliefs), so if you do not believe in god when you die and you stand before and ask him for mercy, he will send you to hell. And God is not mean for this reason. People have to be punished for their wrong doings. So God will show mercy to only christians and people who believe in him.

Answer 6

Of course not.
If you read Revalations, you will see that the saints in heaven with him are looking down upon us and basically asking "God, how long will you let this continue?" The saints are seeing all the "bad stuff" that's going on here.
It is His mercy that is giving us all ample time and opportunity to accept Him.
As a side note, as bad as it is now, it's still not as bad as it was in Sodom and Gomorrah! Lot couldn't even find 5 righteous people.

Answer 7

The selection below show's Jesus having mercy on non-christians.
(Who seem to have become Christians after the fact.)

30 And behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, “Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!”
31 Then the multitude warned them that they should be quiet; but they cried out all the more, saying, “Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!”
32 So Jesus stood still and called them, and said, “What do you want Me to do for you?”
33 They said to Him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.” 34 So Jesus had compassion and touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.

Answer 8

Answer 9

God's mercy is not limited in anyway, by anything.

God's powers are unlimited to all and anything, He knows the heart no matter who you are, His Merci fullness depends on what's in your heart at that time, He knows were not perfect, if you feel compassion in your heart, so does He, all souls are His, especially when they are good.
