Should born-again Christians be afraid to show why other religions are not Christian?

Question

Look at why we should show why some religions are not Christian:

Jesus said these words to church of His:

Revelation 2:2 "I know thy works, and thy labor, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

Mark 13:22 "For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect."

John said:

1John 4:1 "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. "

Characteristics of false teachers:
2Ti 3:7 "Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."

Any real Christian will tell you that there are many religions that claim to be "Christian" but are not!

The definition of a Christian of many popular dictionaries differ much from a Jesus version of who a "Christian" is.

Answer 2

let me give YOU a sermon for once!

Real Christians

One of the most frustrating aspects of conversing with Christians has to do with the definition of the term Christian itself. It's easy for anyone to point the finger at the history of Christianity and show its atrocities…the Crusades, the Inquisition, the Nazis… But it is equally easy for someone else to say, "They weren't True Christians."

Now just what do you say to that? (If you're smart, you say nothing and walk away. But I'm not always smart.)

It seems that every Christian has their own definition of what it means to be a Christian. Silly me, I always thought a Christian was one who worshipped Jesus Christ as his/her savior. But to listen to some people, there's far more to it than that. Now, they can't come to an agreement on what those things might be, but they all insist that anyone who doesn't fit their special little definition isn't a Christian. The bible itself isn't clear on the subject, either. But then, the bible is full of contradictory passages, so this should be no surprise.

Some examples of the modern Christian's perspectives... I know of no Christian who accepts that Hitler and the Nazis could possibly have been Christian, despite Hitler's many speeches and writings, despite his words to friends, and despite the vocal beliefs of many of his followers. Similarly, groups like the KKK "aren't Christian," either, even though they constantly refer to Jesus. Catholics? No, they're not True Christians, according to many Protestants. And vice versa.

I've been told that the behaviors of some "supposed" Christians aren't in keeping with the Scriptures, which teach forgiveness, love, and kindness, blah blah blah…

Well, the thing is, some biblical writings do teach such behavior. However, the "good book" is also full of actual examples of the opposite, and from "godly" men, too. Overall, it's a situation of "do as I say, not as I do." And we all know how well that works.

If one were to approach someone described as not being a "real" Christian, they'd insist that they are as "real" as they come. And in their minds, they probably are. So what point is really made by saying they aren't? It's simply a way to dismiss them, to write them off as being pretenders. But that doesn't change the fact that they are, whether one likes it or not, a representative of their professed beliefs. They may not be representative of the best aspects of said belief, but few people are, no matter the beliefs.

To my way of thinking, if you call yourself a Christian, and believe yourself to be a Christian, then it doesn't matter a bit if others think you're Christian or not. It's just a situation of some Christians not wanting to accept that Christians can be scum, just like anyone else.

I Agree, Ignore all those "other" silly non-believer Childish insults and remarks you will read aside.
They do not understand, nor do they have the ability to:

1Cr 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.

We should not be afraid, remember the Great Commission:

Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:


Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.

Answer 4

(Consider this,) My friend, I stand in judgment now,and feel that you're the blame somehow.on earth I walked with you by day,and never did you show the way.you knew the savior in truth and glory,but never did you tell the story.My knowledge then was very dim.You could have led me safe to him. Though we lived together, here on earth,
you never told me of the second birth.And now I stand before eternal hell,because of heaven"s glory you did not tell

Answer 5

Sure go right ahead, don't be a afraid to put your foot in your mouth boy, that's the way to win friends and influence people...just tell them their kids are ugly !

Yep go right ahead condemn folk as fast as you can find them...

That's what "Spiritual Pride" will do to a soul, breeds false humility and spiritual condescension...and the illusion that only your faith has "ALL" the answers. "Blind leading the blind".

Answer 6

As good Christians, let us not judge! Oh, dearie me, let us not judge, let us not! That having been said, it is my moral imperative to convert all the heathens to my one and only true religion. I have this right because I am the only one who is right (and also Right). I am such a martyr to the cause. You just gotta love me.

Answer 7

It is not upto us to shuff the bible down someone's throat nor to tell them they are going to hell for not believing because that is judging people. We can only lead by example and let other people see the light within us.

Answer 8

Do you mean other denominations? Because everyone with two brain cells knows that religions other than Christianity are not Christian.

Answer 9

go to hell
