Fundamentals: Do you ever think that you could have been born in another country with another doctrine?

Question

So now, you would be a fundamental of that doctrine.
Isn't it better to look at the world in an objective and universal way instead of being blindly tied up to your doctrine.
To look beyond Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Communism,...etc.
To learn sth from each of them but to look beyond all of them

Answer 1

Who says that I haven't looked at, or studied or other doctrines? Very arrogant of you to assume that. I went to college too.

I get bombarded by other doctrines every day hereon Y!A. Is it possible that you reject Christianity because you were indoctrinated at a very early age with secularism?

Your argument works both ways.

Why be a Christian "fundamentalist"? Well, it doesn't make sense to take things only half-way, now does it? if I didn't believe in Christianity, I wouldn't practice it al all.

Answer 2

Location of birth has nothing to do with correct/incorrect doctrine. Would it have been difficult for me to have believed in Jesus as savior if I were born in a Buddhist society? Yes. Might I have never believed it? Yes. Does it mean that Christianity is wrong because I would have grown up in another culture? No. Is Christianity true because I grew up here? No.

Why does this question have bearing on what is true? That is what does not compute. I know that I cannot put forth arguments proving Christianity and won't be so foolish as to try. I've long considered the implications of people growing up in other cultures. Regardless, something is true or it is not (or even partially true/false), and it doesn't depend on personal views. It is what it is.

Answer 3

So your asking if I a fundamentalist Christian American girl could have been born a Muslim woman in Iraq. I actually have thought of that I often wonder if I would have come to my God out there and I think that I would have because my God is powerful and 'He' can do anything. But that's not the info you are looking for.

I don't believe in war against another religion or belief (unless it's violent). I do feel sorry for people who aren't Christians because they will suffer an eternity of regret. I think that other people can live in any way that they wish as long as they are doing no harm to others.
So there you go I didn't quite understand your question but answered it to the best of my ability.
In Christ

Answer 4

The bible tells me that God knew me before even the foundation of the world. Therefore, I was one of his before I landed in the US of A. It doesn't matter where someone is born; the bible also says that God calls people out from every kingdom, nation and tribe. If you are one of God's, He will find you.

Answer 5

Yes...oh wait, you were asking Fundies...sorry.
