It is easy to criticize others, and to condemn others if they do not share your views. But as Christians, we are to not only preach, but to practice what we preach. "They will know we are Christians by our love." "For God so loved the world."
WE NEED TO BE A PEOPLE WHO SERVE GOD OUT OF LOVE FOR WHO AND WHAT GOD IS. NOT TO GET A GOLDEN TICKET TO HEAVEN, OR BE HOLIER THAN THOU,
WE NEED TO BE GENUINE, IF YOU BELIEVE IN GOD, THEN LOVE GOD, FOR HIS REASONS AND NOT YOUR GAIN OR GLORY, AND THEN PEOPLE WILL SAY"WHO IS THY GOD THAT WE MIGHT SERVE HIM ALSO." AGREE?

YES - thank you. We need to be loving but also truthful - telling the truth in love. Jesus is our example and we should be Christ-like. In our flesh that can be hard - but with God all thiings are possible. Blessings to you and thanks for this post.

Why would you love God if you did not have a reward (i.e. Afterlife or answered prayers)? Everything Christians do by preaching and all that goodwill stuff is just to get a “reward” What else would motivate people? Perhaps you are not preaching for a reward or fear of punishment, but you believe in your religion because of that reward or punishment there is no other concievable reason to have faith.

Nice, but do you really think the christian way of life is good for all mankind, it's one think to want to live as a group on Sunday and share the same values, but it's another thing to try and carry that mission on in society by making laws or pressing the christian view on to others. Because this is really not a belief issue but a way of life system that not everyone shares and that is the reason people dislike the Christians, we do not want to live like you or believe as you do. We can believe in Jesus the way we want to, we don't have to believe in your system we don't and we won't. My Jesus would never approve of the christian agenda.

The Lord of Abraham
The Ahura of Zoroaster
The Eishwar of Krishna
The Jehovah of Moses
The God of Jesus
The Allah of Muhammad
is the AlMighty One Alone God Only who is the Creator and Nourisher of us all.
THE SUPREME LORD

Who said in the Godly voice
“I, and I alone, am God
and all other gods
(or goddesses and demigods)
are unreal.”
(Bible Duet. 32:39)

“Worship no god but Me”
(Exodus 20:3)

“Worship no god but Me”,
clearly means that:
“There is no god but Me.”

The same Words has been revealed by the Lord through the Lord’s Revelation, Al-Quran:

“There is no god but Allah
(The One Alone God)”

so, PEACE here in this world and there in the Hereafter, can be ensured through obedience of the Lord, the Holy One alone; in accordance with the Lord’s commandments, given in all the Scriptures, already, possessed by the people of the Scriptures.

Therefore, the Lord of Moses (PBUH) and the Lord of Muhammad (PBUH) and the Lord of Jesus (PBUH) and the Lord of Krishna (PBUH) is the same, Alone Lord who is known as Our God, the One and the Alone and the Absolute Holy.

I do agree. It is very easy to play the role of a hypocrite, if indeed we are not careful. Being imperfect, we will indeed make mistakes in our view of what others are doing or not doing for God--Its the attitude that controls the severity of our wrong, sin or what have you. King David, after some huge mistakes expressed it this way to God in prayer :
(Psalm 19:12-13) “12 Mistakes—who can discern? From concealed sins pronounce me innocent. 13 Also from presumptuous acts hold your servant back; Do not let them dominate me. In that case I shall be complete, And I shall have remained innocent from much transgression.”

Many times the most lasting and severe critics are those who practice the same religion. Jesus stated it this way:

(Matthew 7:1-5) “7 “Stop judging that YOU may not be judged; 2 for with what judgment YOU are judging, YOU will be judged; and with the measure that YOU are measuring out, they will measure out to YOU. 3 Why, then, do you look at the straw in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the rafter in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Allow me to extract the straw from your eye’; when, look! a rafter is in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First extract the rafter from your own eye, and then you will see clearly how to extract the straw from your brother’s eye.”
(James 4:11-12) “11 Quit speaking against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother speaks against law and judges law. Now if you judge law, you are, not a doer of law, but a judge. 12 One there is that is lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But you, who are you to be judging [your] neighbor?”

I agree on the motive of serving God, needs to be as sincere as we can be, but being that Jah is so generous in everything he has supplied that is good:

(James 1:16-17) “16 Do not be misled, my beloved brothers. 17 Every good gift and every perfect present is from above, for it comes down from the Father of the [celestial] lights, and with him there is not a variation of the turning of the shadow.”


He also has promised much more for those who try sincerely to be like his Son--Please note:
(Hebrews 11:6) “6 Moreover, without faith it is impossible to please [him] well, for he that approaches God must believe that he is and that he becomes the rewarder of those earnestly seeking him.”
