I'm a Christian and I wonder why so many Christians dislike others?

Question

or think that it's their place to judge, i've done it numerous times but i'm contantly left wondering why?
why do we cast stones at others knowing very well we've committed a sin?
why do we think it's our place to tell others that they should follow our religon when we ourselves aren't good christians?
i just want to know why christians can critize others and think that it's okay and everything we say has a just cause.
can somebody please clarify it for me?
i know some of them are going to be rude but i don't care at this moment. i'm just curious!

I Luv Coldplay, i never said i was going to heaven, you need to seriously calm down.

Answer 1

I don't think it's only Christians who do this..
everyone has a tendency to look down and be critical of others.
Non-Christians say that Christians are judgmental- but isn't that in itself a judgment??
It's just human nature- and it's not right. I think Christians who are really following Christ's perfect example wouldn't judge others- others would see their life as an example they'd like to emulate.

Answer 2

You have Christians and you have xhristians!
What is the difference?
1. A C Knows that the Laws are still in effect, an x Believes the Laws are done away with.
2. A C knows there is a heaven and a hell, an x there is no hell all go to heaven
3. A C knows that Christ must know you, an x believe Christ will forgive everybody
4. A C knows that hell is not for ever, an x beliefs (if there is a hell) it is fire and brimstone for ever and ever you get to stand and make fun of the damned.
5 A C knows what the unforgivable sin is, an x does not.
6. A C knows there is no rapture, an x is waiting to fly away.
7. A C knows who the Kenites are, an x is what is a Kenite?
8 A C can not fall for the Anti-Christ, an x will worship the Anti-Christ.

This is just a few of the differences

Answer 3

Correcting each other is not a sin. We are all called to do this. It is unfortunate and shameful that many congregations are more worried about filling up the seats than preaching the scriptures accurately. There are some who make honest mistakes and other who are more concerned with glorifying themselves. Actually we all make honest mistakes. So what should we do? Should we sit by silently while sheep are led astray? Is that an act of love? How did the apostles handle situations involving groups of people who were distorting the Gospel? Whether it was an intentional distortion or not, they addressed it. They did not just ignore it and watch brothers and sisters go astray.
That is what we should also do.
As steel sharpens steel, so one man sharpens another.

Answer 4

I hope you are a Christian and that you have trusted that the Lord Jesus Christ died for your sins and that He rose again the third day for your justification. If so, then you have the Holy Spirit living within you and you should judge all things. You should know what God wants you to do and what your ministry is all about. 1 Corinthians 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. I am not talking about talking about people or calling them names but you should know right from wrong and people that are doing bad things you need to stay away from them. Romans 16: 17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

Answer 5

As a Catholic Christian, though not devout, and also as something of a historian, I feel qualified to make this statement.
Historically, disunity has actually been a positive force for Christianity. As it split out from the secret catacombs and the original teachings of Jesus, its many variations and large community of believers helped it to survive. Too, the fact that Christianity was arguably the first religion to attract many people on both ends of the social scale. Those with wealth and power in a certain sect often got the System of king and government on their side, this enabling Christianity to spread even further, along the newly created Roman roads, and contributing to the death of both the Roman Empire and of traditional feminine, nature-based European religions.
Christianity, because of its doctrine of "equality in the eyes of God" and its role as the first urban religion, created divisions that paradoxically, allowed it to thrive. Christianity's intolerance for all others was not born out of the religion itself, but out of human nature; the fundamental human need to see Christian ideas and hierarchies succeed. If only the followers of YOUR religion are the true believers, then you can proceed upon your own expansion without qualm, cheerfully shoveling all others into the coals of imagined hellfire. This gives you quite an advantage to start stealing whatever belongs to the "heathens", indeed loudly proclaim that you are performing a service by doing so.
Christianity's original status as a minority religion, combined with the teachings of bigoted priests and early martyrs, created an attitude of intolerance that has nothing to do with the Bible and persists to this day.

Answer 6

YOU ARE SAYING WHY WE CHRISTIANS,,CAST STONES ETC

you say this like you are speaking for all Christians, and you should not do that..
We all are weak, and mans nature is to sin.....
and we do,
are you curious about other Christians? OR about yourself.?

RE: Christians who critisize others, sometimes they are just recognizing others that do what they know is wrong..
and they respond..
Actually, how can one sit and watch someone living in sin or doing exactly the opposite of the scriptues,, ?
HOW can someone pretend that it is ok? Don't be so hard on yourself, of Christians for responding to the elements around them,,and they are human too....
so.. now that we have discussed this,,
don't you think CHRISTIANS ARE STILL PRETTY AWESOME?

Answer 7

It's that exclusivity part that causes the problem. The Bible itself insists that there is only one possible way to God. Naturally, nearly every Christian denomination in the world thinks that theirs is it. Therefore, by definition, everyone else in the world must be wrong...or even outright evil.

A had a brief conversation with a Baptist preacher on the subject of Satanism. He told me that there were six "churches of Satan" in my town. I found out later he was referring to the two Catholic churches, the synagogue, and three other Christian churches of different denominations. This seems to be a typical style of thought.

Answer 8

Christainty is a broad religion. We all read from the bible, and we all interpret the Bible differently. When we are confronted with someone elses interpretation of the bible, we get angry that someone sees it in a way we don't agree with so we fight about it.

Also some people say their christians but don't act how they should so many christans get angry at those people for setting bad examples.

one last thought. As humans i don't think that we liked to admit our faults, so we get angry at those who have the same faults because we know that we have them and our embarresed.

Answer 9

Christians don't stop being human when we're saved. We deal with the same insecurities as before with the knowledge that we have a loving father that will heal and forgive. whether we embrace the promise of salvation or are doomed to hell one thing is certain STOOPID IS STOOPID

Answer 10

How can one critisize judge and dislike there fellow humans and call them selves Christian Hypocrisy really comes to mind.

Answer 11

I don't like you for this question......
