How about we encourage and lift up people that mock God and the saviour of mankind, instead of telling them to go to hell. Because, quite frankly, you're no more worthy than they are. It's only the grace of God that gets us saved, so let's stop pointing fingers and let revival start with ourselves like it's supposed to, huh?
If you already are, that's awesome. Keep it up.
After all, I don't believe Jesus ever said to a Pharisee(spelling),
"Go to Hell and get away from me, you unworthy piece of scum."

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
Matt 25:41 (KJV)
About this scripture:
This is what GOD says on JUDGEMENT DAY, AFTER a person's death, when he/she doesn't accept jesus as savior. Jesus never said anything like that while he had a change to encourage them.
Jesus didn't come to start a religion, he came to save souls from eternal damnation :)

Naw, no way. They can turn or burn. Think about what Jesus said to the seventy as they were sent out. He said that if the people refuse to hear the good news, then shake the dust off your feet in protest and leave them.
That doesn't mean you can't pray for them for God to intervene, considering he gave us authority to command angels. That'd be great if people started using it... it's a secret weapon.. called actual, fervent, prayer.

Lord...
This has nothing to do with my opinion. It's God's word. There's nothing that can stop me from professing the truth i know and nothing that can seperate me, or you, for every moment on this earth, from the love of God.
This isn't to tell you that you need to change as a christian, this is telling US that WE need to change.
Praise God.

Wow. Offense really is the Devil's greatest tool. I'll stop now because I don't want an arguement. Religion means nothing. Religion is only a system of Doctrines that a certain people practice. The meaning behind the doctrines is everything!
Jesus came to save mankind out of God's love. Accept it or not, it's true. Persecute me for it, I'll just be blessed. Call me crazy, but I'm just overfilling with joy that too many people are unable to understand because they still haven't filled the God-shaped hole in thier hearts.

JESUS ALSO DID NOT SAY THAT WE SHOULD TRAVEL TO OTHER CONTENANTS TO CONVINCE INDIANS WE ARE RIGHT. DID HE?
Heh, no. He told us to go to other continents and show them the love of God that we have and what it can do for them.
2006-12-04 13:40:31 · update #6
You're right, Jesus didn't say that. However, Christians with the spirit of God dwelling within them wouldn't say it either.

I am with you in thinking, however, the nonsense written here does make people angry. People, kids in general are being brainwashed into thinking that everything is OK, every behavior etc. Religion is the only thing in the way of consequences. Kids don't realize that it all comes back to you. I do feel sorry for those that harbor so much hate. I see it everywhere. They all act like Michael Richards when pressed and it's appalling and pathetic to see such lost people. I think we should help them see where they are wrong in a way Jesus would be proud of!

Aren't we all unworthy? That the son of God gave His life for Us means a lot to me! He found us worth saving! Why?
Christ came here to show us 'The Way'! Are so many of us unwilling to accept Him as our saviour?
I (maybe 'We') will never be as great as Jesus! I'd like to think this possible, but probably not!
You are correct. God Bless!
Even Sasquatch recognize Him who is Our Savior!

I have never told someone they are going to hell. It isn't my place and it isn't biblical. Paul's ministry to the gentiles never mentioned a threat of hell. To Jews he appealed to Scripture. If a person is on your mind, I would pray for them as well as take a genuine interest in their life. Too many Christians are fake and only have interest in "saving souls." I think you should love the whole person for who they are. If you have something to say to them, earn their respect so they want to know what you think. Otherwise, do something else with your time.

To a great extent, I believe you're right, Doug.
And, "Panties": Yes, Jesus DID say "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15)!

A messianic Jew is a Jew that believes that Jesus is the Messiah. Christians and Messianic Jews suppose that Jesus is the Messiah. They are Jews. The factor of view of the anti Messianice Jews is first-rate summed up via Mark JPAS whilst he mentioned "it's applicable to combination a few measure of overseas non secular factors with Judaism. The one exception is Christianity, that is seemed to be incompatible with any variety of Jewishness. This is the double common that's implemented to Christianity although Jesus is regarded the Jewish Messiah in Christianity. Messianic Jews are checked out with even better disdain. Why? its a canopy for there possess deviations from Judaism. Some Jews have got to keep a connection to Jewish loved ones due to the fact they've deviated such a lot from conventional Judaism that many Orthodox query their Jewishness. They want discover a few approach to distract concentration due to the fact of there deviation from the Torah. This is completed via pointing their finger at others to direct concentration clear of their possess movements. You are not able to provide your self a identify and assume that it makes you anything. This is the argument that has been used towards Jews that make a decision that Jesus is the Messiah. We are advised that the mere perception of an extra nature of God instantly invalidated a Jews Jewishness. At the identical time Jews that come to be atheists, pantheists or quit practising any detail in their faith we're advised are nonetheless Jews. They say that you'll be able to suppose in something however Jesus. Jews name conversion "becoming a member of the tribe". Things that could not ever fly in Orthodox or for that topic Messianic Judaism will also be located within the Reform and Reconstructionist routine. A well illustration of it is a prior query requested right here. The man or woman asking worshiped the God Ferris however didn't suppose in him or the Jewish God. The recognition of the query used to be" ...could you PERSONALLY consider relaxed welcoming me no longer simply as a fellow congregant at your Synagogue, however as a member of the Tribe?" (so he used to be certainly asking approximately changing to Judaism). The reaction used to be "Reform Judaism covers a extensive swath of ideals and practices and I am definite you're going to be entirely permitted. ... I individually could be given you entire heartily as a fellow Jew." So a few Jews will be given a wide variety of deviations from the Torah however no longer perception in "Jesus". Let's no longer omit the Reform motion desired to difference the sabbath to Sunday to be extra like Christianity. Most Messianic Jews are Torah observant but you'll be able to come to be an atheist, quit practising their religion, come to be a Buddhist, become a member of a Unitarian Church and nonetheless be a Jew within the eyes of Reform/Reconstructionist Jews. Most Orthodox whilst requested approximately different Jews will say they do not know what non Orthodox Jews are. The identical applies to the opposite sects. Speaking of sects Jews will inform you there are not any sects however its no longer actual. Rabbinical Jews comply with an information in their religion that used to be based a million,900 years in the past. They have their possess canon of Scripture. There also are non Rabbinical Jews such because the Ethiopian Jews that follows the sample of the Christian Old Testament and they've many further books that they do not forget to be scripture. A organization referred to as the Karaites is the reverse of the Ethiopian and best suppose within the five Books of Moses. Rabbinical Jews name Karaites "a sect of Judaism". You can goggle it and spot for your self. Don't allow any one inform you that there are not any sects in Judaism. They say the the lessons of Jesus are very distinctive from Judaism. They additionally declare that Jesus taught not anything new from the rabbis earlier than him. Then they we inform you that there have been no rabbis till 100 years after the time of Jesus. Its all approximately profitable the argument to them no longer approximately what is actual. The obstacle isn't variations however similarities. You will have to realize ALL the writers of the Christian Bible have been Jews however one. Much of our Scriptures are shared. The mammoth majority of early believers in Jesus have been Jews. So while you listen the certain reverse you have got to hold that during brain. A Jew can suppose in Jesus and nonetheless be a Jew. Edit: those who make private accusations will have to comprise hyperlinks or close up.
