Thank you for emphasizing my point so well. You just condemned all other religions as evil.

Dirty Phooey

You show your ignorance in other faiths.

Answer 1

I don't know, since the very nature of Christ's message was a warning that there would be a judgment. How can one NOT sound "judgmental" when describing Christianity? None of the other religions are judgmental because they want people to feel comfortable in their sins, which is one of the tactics Satan uses to mislead people. In order for a true, good, just God to exist, there MUST be judgment, e.g., punishment of evil.

Answer 2

I must admit I sometimes fall into the condescending category when answering questions that are mocking or insulting in nature. Some days (PMS...lol) I get an attitude when reading this and respond in a less than Christ-like manner. When there is an intellectual question posted without ridicule, I ALWAYS answer respectfully with none of the above traits. I've never felt superior as a Christian, just blessed. Peace :-)

Answer 3

If I told you I could explain Christian Theology without sounding superior, more than likely I would come out sounding like a stuck up Christian that couldn't see past her own nose. To describe Christian Theology is to describe CHRIST. and to act condescending while doing it, would be the oppistit of Christ. Honestly, I am not perfect, nor will I ever be. Christians are human, and we do make mistakes. I have been condescending on people I am sure more than once. But the point is, I would never do it on purpose. Christ loves people, and it is my mission to love them as he LOVES them. No judgement calls, no superior knowledge, no "I'm soooooooo much better than you." talk. My hope is to share the love of Christ and to do it whole heartedly. You have to understand that I would never honestly try and act above someone, God has humbled me so many times in the face of all danger that I have no choice but to bow the knee and do only as God commands. I love the LORD WITH ALL MY HEART. And I in no way intend to act like I am better than anyone else who reads this, I am a sinner, and only through the grace of my LORD JESUS CHRIST, am I saved.
God bless you.

Answer 4

You're just baiting us.
Humility should be a "given" for a Christian.
The problem with trying to describe Christian Theology is that it requires the use of the Bible. It is the Bible itself that causes great disagreement, because it represents God's authority over our lives. A rebellious spirit would be hard-pressed to sit through any explanation utilizing the Bible.

Your question itself already tells me that you are expecting attitudes of superiority, condescention, and prejudice. If you are expecting them, then you will find them.

As a Bible teacher, perhaps my question would be, "Is there a non-believer out there who is truly hungry for absolutes, and profoundly searching for true faith?

If so, then I can answer questions and explain.

Answer 5

A true Christian does not consider themselves superior by any means. A Christian is merely someone who has accepted Christ as their personal Savior and Lord and chooses to follow Christ as their example for living their lives. As a Christian I am by no means perfect....quite the contrary. I am actually stating the opposite and that is...that I need to be saved because I cannot save myself. I need Christ in my life so that I can receive the gift of everlasting life and look forward to eternity with God.

You stopped thinking when you consider which you have faith you chanced on the respond. i'm nevertheless finding and having relaxing mutually as doing it.

Answer 7

The fundamental beliefs of a Christian is that the Christ Jesus is the final sacrifice to our Holy Father in order to cleans us from our sins. This includes everybody! Before and after the appearance of the Christ. The faith in Jesus of Nazareth believes that He died, rose from the dead, defeated the devil, and conquered death. It is the belief that Jesus the Christ is the only one who can bring you into God's kingdom. Jesus is the Messiah who was prophesied throughout the whole of the old testament. It was His birth,His life, and His death That was the fulfilment of the old testament's prophecies. He came to save the world.

Answer 8

I'm not Christian....but I can come off sounding superior when I describe my philosophy on life....
Hold on tight....here it comes....

It takes more strength then that required to move mountains to be a good person without the promise of heaven and the threat of hell to keep oneself in line.

Answer 9

We don't claim to be superior, condescending or prejudicial. We are made in the image of God so we just are superior.

It's very possible. However, there will always be someone who says that the person is being condescending and prejudicial.
