"
Religion sucks and so does reciting stupid verses from the Bible. Another thumbs down here. I see you are a muslim. As an American I have no tolerance for muslims and its regressive ways" hmm ur problem, not mine.

"quote"AND, please refrain from saying that your view is the "truth"
There are no truths in religion, only beliefs and faiths." lol i never said that, i showed biblical verses and i'm not christian

"When you speak of your religion you must be prepared to receive responses from those who think differently. " again Christianity is not my religion


" A parrot can repeat phrases. Perhaps, if you could present you case with facts and rational arguments and in your own words, you might be taken more seriously" hmmmmmmm that's exactly what i was doing, presenting my belief in Jesus (pbuh) from the Revelations of Jesus

Ya'll are too funny!

Answer 1

They don't want to hear the truth it looks like.

addition: LOL, 5 thumbs down, I'm on a roll

Answer 2

I didn't answer the other Q or give any thumbs but I see you don't understand that the Bible does teach the Deity of the Son. Otherwise Jesus who you say you love would be a false prophet because He accepted worship both on earth and in heaven when He ascended. Also He was named "Mighty God and Everlasting Father" (Is 9:6)
You fail to understand that Jesus is true man and true God and that there are differences between His 2 natures. He had to come as a man to suffer and die for the sin of man to be the Savior. This is why some probably gave you a thumbs down because you deny the central truths about Christ and the Bible says that those who deny this are false prophets. I'm not sure who you asked about these things but they sure don't know their Bibles.

Answer 3

A parrot can repeat phrases. Perhaps, if you could present you case with facts and rational arguments and in your own words, you might be taken more seriously.

That is unless you come up with silly positions like "I know the bible is the word of god because the bible says so." In that case, you'll undoubtedly get more well deserved thumbs.

Answer 4

Because people have differences of opinion. Only problem is, some people don't know how to express their difference as well as others.
The Bible teaches tolerance of those who have not been saved, and that's all you can do, tolerate and pray, because there are many in the world who cannot say that they have fully accepted the Lord.

Professing your faith in Christianity may not necessarily convert someone of another [or no] religion, and vice versa. When you speak of your religion you must be prepared to receive responses from those who think differently.

Answer 5

There isn't a need to recite verses from the Bible, especially when you do it ad nauseum. The question seemed to be asking how many people were of a similar mind. Evidently, you aren't, but that does not warrant a regurgitation of the Bible. Also, being a bit preachy doesn't really earn you positive marks.

AND, please refrain from saying that your view is the "truth"
There are no truths in religion, only beliefs and faiths.


Edit:
By the way, I didn't say you were any religion specifically. Putting words into other peoples' mouths, much? Either way, you claimed to be putting forth the truth and my statement applies to that as well. There are not set in stone truths when it comes to religion or religious beliefs.

It might behoove you to read responses more carefully before you comment about how funny we all are.

Answer 6

YOUR SCRIPTURES I DID STUDY TO ADD SOME AS PROOF THEY ARE RIGHT

I believe Jesus (pbuh) was a great prophet. I belive he performed
miracles by the Grace of God. I believe he was born to the virgin
Mary by the Grace of God. I have lots of love and respect for
Jesus (pbuh) as I do all of the other prophets.
However I do not worship him or any other prophet.

worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh
such to worship Him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship
Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.

Matthew 15:19
But in vain to they worship me, teaching the doctrines the
commandments of men.

Matthew 16:27-28
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming into his kingdom.

Answer 7

Giving a thumbs down is quite easy, and doesnt have any consequences.

Dont worry, you got 5 thumbs ups too :-)

Answer 8

did not see Bible verses in your reference-don't take thumbs up or down so seriously, only an opinion of the one who rated

Answer 9

THUMBS UP AGAIN:


لَتَجِدَنَّ أَشَدَّ النَّاسِ عَدَاوَةً لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ الْيَهُودَ وَالَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُواْ وَلَتَجِدَنَّ أَقْرَبَهُمْ مَّوَدَّةً لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ الَّذِينَ قَالُوَاْ إِنَّا نَصَارَى ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّ مِنْهُمْ قِسِّيسِينَ وَرُهْبَاناً وَأَنَّهُمْ لاَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ

5.82 . Thou wilt find the most vehement of mankind in hostility to those who , believe ( to be ) the Jews and the idolaters . And thou wilt find the nearest of them in affection to those who believe ( to be ) those who say : Lo! We are Christians . That is because there are among them priests and monks , and because they are not arrogant .

Answer 10

You gave an informative answer that people probably just disagreed with. I gave you a thumbs up because it was at least a thought out answer.

People just want answers that they themselves agree with, no matter how good the answer may be.

*EDIT* Looks like a few answerers didn't even read the other question. I love when people give answers that show their ignorance.

Answer 11

Looking at your answer, it was too long for a start, people have short attention spans.

Also, people don't like having religion shoved down their throats. If you believe in God, just answer 'yes'.
