Shouldn't "christians" be more mature, that way they can "get into heaven"?

Question

and stop being silly pricks.....Atheists have no one to respect. Christians do.....So stop being so immature and keep your opinions to yourselves........CHristianity is about love and tolerance isn't it?? God would be ashamed to see that his believers desperately keep trying to change someone else's mind....I think he'd be ashamed and be like,,,"eww, I'd rather her not be a "christian" ..I'm embarassed."

Answer 1

If I could give you a thumb up, I would...

I think you make a lot of sense and I hope people get what your trying to say....

He would be embarassed, if he was real...I beleave in the power of the SUN.. in Sun, I mean the star that feeds us life. and that is a fact.

Answer 2

Heaven is Salvation. It is received as a gift and not be being mature enouph.

Every born of God Christian is a baby to start out with. And they grow according to their obedience to Christ and renewing their mind in the Word of God and being renewed in spirit from time to time. But once we are first born of God, spiritual rebirth, we are heaven bound. Nothing can change that because we are made the righteousness of Christ.

Jesus would never say to His own, "eww, I'd rather her not be a christian, I'm embarassed". The bible writes that He will never leave or forsake us.

Answer 3

I agree. There are several Christians out there that are setting a bad example for the religion. Forcing their opinions on other, sometimes to the point of making it a law.

What most Christian don't understand is that in order for God's plan of salvation to work, there's has to be a choice. If you force some one to follow Christianity, you might as well be sending them to hell yourself. There was no choice there. Following Christ must be an act of free will. Or it doesn't work.

I also agree in the fact that Christians should be a moral example. The proverbial " Light in the darkness " if you will. But all too often, they tend to be the false conscious of the crowd.

We all have a lot of 'maturing' to do. Let's get started.

Best wishes.

Answer 4

You are right, however, some still believe that to hit one over the head with a frying pan will bring good results. It is hard to figure for sure! A Christian in name only does not possess the understanding required to live in tolerance and love. The "bashers" need to study and reflect more before they make useless noises.

Answer 5

You're not very mature yourself.

For starters, you're blanketing all Christians in your statement, when you probably mean a few. Secondly, you want us to keep our opinion to ourselves on a forum that requires our opinions. It's a free world and we can come here if we want. Thirdly, I've seen a low tolarance among Athiests as well.

This is an open forum in a free world. All are welcomed to share their opinions. If you don't want to hear the opinions of others, leave. I may not like what is said all the time, but they have the right to say that and I have the right to disagree.

Answer 6

i do no longer care if an artist matures. Hip Hop, to me, became created by making use of a youthful technology for a youthful technology to furnish them a voice, a motor vehicle for desire, and for relaxing. on the grounds that i'm now 34, have babies, been married and divorced, and own assets, i do no longer care appropriate to the comparable issues I did whilst i became 19 back in 1993 whilst in simple terms Ice dropped "Gun communicate" or perhaps whilst Onyx dropped "Baccadafucup". i'm mature, so i decide directly to take heed to extra Jazz and R&B and a large majority of the Hip Hop that I hear to has some substance. Artists do no longer would desire to mature in Hip Hop by using fact there'll continually been an objective industry. What i myself care approximately is stability in Hip Hop. I have not any project particularly with Gucci Mane blowing up and being performed 35,000 situations an afternoon on the radio, yet radio/media desires to stability it out with a Mos Def checklist or an atmosphere checklist being performed 35,000 situations an afternoon. whilst i became 19, you need to hear Souls of Mischief, Diagble Planets, De la Soul, A Tribe suggested as Quest, KRS-One, besides as Das EFX, Akinyele, Snoop Dogg, etc all being performed in the media. i understand I went off subject rely, yet in actuality its much less approximately adulthood and extra approximately stability. And by making use of the time RHH heads strengthen up, their lives would be bigger than hip hop besides, except they artwork in the business enterprise.

Answer 7

It's not about "getting into Heaven." We're already covered in that respect. It's about bringing Heaven here instead of Hell. It's about living the way God intended and seeing the blessings pour out when that happens. Before you criiticize, you should do some research.

Answer 8

more mature? Is defending your beliefs immmature? I don't know about that. I will agree though that they ought to just love more...i don't belive all this bickering is actually bringing anyone closer to Christ. I believe that Christians in America are a long way off from where they're supposed to be. Hope this helps!

Answer 9

Nice rant. Very loving touch. You are right about not able to change others minds. God is not ashamed of watching people create.

Answer 10

There are many christians who can keep shoving the gospel down someone's throat- BUT we are to share the gospel and if one does not want to hear it, we move on. However on this website, new people come everyday- therefore we should share the gospel as much as possible..for we do not know who God will draw. But to do this in love...if you do not want to hear it, you do not need to click on it. Please know it is not us who save people it is God alone. But God tells us to go out and preach the good news. So God is actually pleased with those who share the gospel in love....but of course those who are self righteous and do not know how to share the truth- that is different- they need to be humbled.
But here is what God tells us, as believers to do:
Jude 1:23
snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.

Mark 1:17
"Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."

Romans 10:15
And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"

1 Peter 1:25
but the word of the Lord remains forever."And this word is the good news that was preached to you.

You see, faith comes from hearing and hearing the word of God- as Romans 10:17 says. Therefore one must hear the gospel of Jesus Christ in order to understand salvation and love from Him. What surprises me is that most people do not realize what Jesus did. I mean really understand that what He did was because He wanted to. But just know that there are those who continue to shove the truth down people's throats when they do not want to hear- and that is not the right way. Jesus tells us to "shake the dust from our feet" if someone does not want to hear it and move on....
