why can't anyone but Christians speak of peace?

Question

I've noticed on here that a lot of Christians don't beleive that anyone else can speak of peace or that any other religion is a true religion. Why is this?

Please note that I said a lot, I'm not trying to generalize but it seems there are a lot of angry christians on here that think that everbody else is worng and they don't deserve to give answers or ask questions about religion.

Answer 1

This is how every fundamentalis think about other religions..but the problem is how to express yourself..some are polite and respecive and others are big mouthes.

Answer 2

Your statement is not true, because Muslims speak of peace more than any other religion, however, displaying it is another thing. Real peace is an experience, not a password. John 14:27 said "Peace I leave with you my peace I give unto you, not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." Philippians 4:7 said "And the peace of God which passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." When you receive this kind of peace then and only then you will be able to understand.

Answer 3

I was raised Christian but no longer am,however I am very spiritual. I believe I speak more of peace than the average Christian. As a former Christian I know they are quite judgemental. They speak for God and assume too many things will send you to H E LL. How peaceful is that? To believe being gay,non Christian,an array of other things earns you a ticket to eternal fire? Not so peaceful,is it? In addition if you are a child molester but are "saved" your forgiven and will enter Heaven because you accepted Jesus into your heart. But if your a moral person who lives a life of ethics but have not been saved,too bad,your going to burn for eternity. I guess I cando anything now since I already recieved my "get out of hel l free card" when I was saved.

Answer 4

ok lets assume that our MAIN goal is to get to Heaven when we die.
Jesus said the only way to do that is through Him. We must believe that He came to earth to die for our sins, and is the Son of God. We must believe and observe how He acted on earth, and try to imitate it the best way we can. This is what Christianity is about, and any other way aside from Jesus Christ IS wrong. If you don't believe in Heaven or Hell, then this answer still applies to you but chances are you wont care about it.
Most of the religion questions on here are just jabs at Christianity, so it is frustrating to have other people pick on you all the time.

Answer 5

Think about what youve just asked. These people have a book that tells them that it is the only one true religion, and that all others are wrong and that it (the book) is infallible.

Why WOULD they think any differently about other religions??

Answer 6

its hard to answer your question but think of this. When somone says they are a Christian it does not mean that the are unless they do what the bible teaches. So if someone who says they are a Christian says i hate muslims, are they a Christian? No, jesus says love your enemys. See my point. There are a lot of "fake" Christians

Answer 7

they have bits and pieces from the Bible to call on-but they forget that the Bible can be taken out of context and twisted. MANY DIFFERENT people wrote the various books originally but only a select few "translated and interpreted" what was included in todays Bible
John 14.6:
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me"
1 John 5:11-12 And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. The one who has the Son has this eternal life; the one who does not have the Son of God does not have this eternal life.

This passage tells us that God has given us eternal life and this life is in His Son, Jesus Christ. In other words, the way to possess eternal life is to possess God’s Son. The question is, how can a person have the Son of God?

Man’s Problem
Separation From God
Isaiah 59:2 But your sinful acts have alienated you from your God; your sins have caused him to reject you and not listen to your prayers.

Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

According to Romans 5:8, God demonstrated His love for us through the death of His Son. Why did Christ have to die for us? Because Scripture declares all men to be sinful. To “sin” means to miss the mark. The Bible declares “all have sinned and fall short of the glory (the perfect holiness) of God” (Rom. 3:23). In other words, our sin separates us from God who is perfect holiness (righteousness and justice) and God must therefore judge sinful man.
but I think some forget this one--
Habakkuk 1:13a You are too just to tolerate evil; you are unable to condone wrongdoing.

Christians do not want peace itself they want anyone that disagrees with their beliefs to change and "accept the truth of the Bible" they just forget about the parts of the Bible that ARE WRONG or "misunderstood"--personally I love that excuse

"If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. " -- Luke 14:26

Deuteronomy 22:13-21 requires that a woman be a virgin when she is married. If she has had sexual relations while single in her father's house, then she would be stoned to death. There were no similar virginity requirements for men.

Deuteronomy 22:28-29 requires that a virgin woman who has been raped must marry her attacker, no matter what her feelings are towards the rapist. "If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife...."

And of course these juicy tid bits too.....

People who follow another faith are to be executed in organized acts of genocide.
Their Gods are said to be demons.
They themselves are described as unrighteous and unclean.
Their priests were murdered.
Christians are warned to not associate with them.

Answer 8

Because religion is no different to Nationality, or even the sports team one follows. They all believe theirs is the best and are insulted if any outsider critisizes it.

Answer 9

Ask questions about peace, if you'd like.

Answer 10

christians speak of pease but bring war
