Why do Christians condemn those of other religions, but other religions don't condemn back?

Question

Christians say anyone not of their faith goes to hell.

Here what the Quran has to say: ""Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians -- whoever believes in God and the Last Day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord. And there will be no fear for them, nor shall they grieve" (2:62, 5:69, and many other verses)."

See how tolerant their Quran tells them to be of them?

Why not love everyone like you are supposed to instead of tell them they are going to hell and call them names?

Incidentally, I'm playing devil's advocate here since he is gone, as I am an atheist. Just wanted to find some thoughts on this.

Answer 1

Real Christians show respect...like me...the fakers couldn't care less about anything, thinking they're holier than thou!! I love my enemies the way I love myself!!

Answer 2

First, Christians are not to 'condemn' anyone- but at the same time we are not to tolerate sin.
This may be what the Quran has to say but I have heard , from the mouths of Muslims quite the opposite- maybe just like Christians who claim one thing but are not knowledgable or walking in the owrd- I am not pointing the finger.
And lastly, if you have not heard other religions condemn Christians, you have not been at YA! very long or have been looking in the wrong places.
Unfortunately there is a lot of bashing from both sides.

Answer 3

There are other verses in the Koran that indicate only Muslims go the Heaven, or perhaps the highest Heaven. In many Arab countries it is against the law to witness for Christ and someone who converts can be killed as an apostate.
In China, it is difficult to be a Christian and the Church is largely underground.
Hindus believe Christians (all non Hindus actually) built up bad karma in a past life and are paying for it in the next by being born "less enlightened."

Answer 4

Selnyk, you only have one tiny piece of what the Quran says about Jews and Christians. Here's a link that lists each and every reference to Jews in the Quran. The vast majority of them are hateful and anti-Semitic, to say the least. Many of these passages also reference Christians:

http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/anti-semitism/koranjews.html

The Quran does not teach tolerance of Jews or Christians; it really teaches the opposite. Once Muhammad saw that he wasn't getting very many Jewish or Christian converts to Islam, he revealed his true nature and wrote these hateful passages.

Peace.

Answer 5

Sura 4:48 Verily, Allâh forgives not that partners should be set up with him in worship

This is known as the sin of shirk. It is unforgiveable in Islam. Muslims believe that when we say that Jesus is the Son of God we are assigning partners to Him thereby commiting the sin if Shirk.

Hmmm... tolerant? That sends all Orthodox, Fundamental, and Evangelical Christains to hell.

Answer 6

And yet Muslims here on Earth are actually killing Jews and Christians every day for not being Muslim. They even kill members of opposing Muslim groups.

And the Bible does say to love everyone and invite them to believe. So Christians are supposed to be inclusive and caring, but many of them in the real world just act judgemental.

The moral of the story is that people of all faiths aren't necessarily good at following the ideals of their faith.

Answer 7

Because Christianity has been intolerant from the beginning. They are just staying true to their historical roots. Remember the Inquisitions? The destruction of pagan temples across Europe and Egypt? The witch burnings/torturings/killings? The Crusades?

Christianity is historically the most violent and intolerant religion known to humankind.

Answer 8

I think you should step away from the cracck pipe slooooowwwwly. Every religion has bad things to say about the others. It is a way of making their religion seem superior. Whatever floats their respective boats is what I say. I do not subscribe to organized religion, so I cannot talk badly about any of them.....or maybe I could talk bad about all of them. But I won't . I simply choose to interpret scripture for myself and let God help me with the stuff I do not get at first. Call it knocking out the middle man.

Answer 9

You expect religious people to tolerate ur non beliefs but yet you bash all religions and live in this forum? You can never be "devil's advocate" at least he had some morals and a life.

=0p

Answer 10

Real Christians don't condemn others.

I do know of many other religious people involved in other religions that condemn Christians and others, however. Do some research.
