How do you feel when Christians call non-Christians lost people?

Answer 1

Easy we are just quoting the bible... I mean the bible says people who are not christians are walking around blindfolded in life bumping into eachother. Jesus says they are sneaking around in the darkness trying to hide from the light.

Answer 2

I think it's presumptuous. I'm a Christian and I believe that every person was put on this earth for a reason. God will pass judgement and that's not my business. It's unfortunate that many Christians think Christianity is an exclusive club. If they actually read their Bible, they'll see that Christ didn't turn away anyone...except the pious. He loved each person exactly the same. What a wonderful example to follow.

Coincidentally, I've been looked down on by fellow 'Christians' and I've been saved for 20 years. When I was a waitress, a group of people from a local church would come in for a meal Sunday nights. They were dressed so finely and prayed loud and long. When it came to tip time, however, they barely opened the purse strings. I hardly remember them saying thank you, either. They set a terrible example for the rest of us.

Answer 3

I on no account yet heard a Christian say or even christen another a gone astray, for not been a Christian. That is not correct to say, if some one describe himself a Christian. On the other hand, conceivably you heard that statement from a Muslims? In that case it is very atypical. I comprise come across countless times a lot of Muslims that acknowledge, that any one who is not a Muslim be obliged to depart this life, in addition Muslims say that Islam should and will be the only religion in the entire earth.
Could you please, re-state your redistribution?

Answer 4

Actually we are the ones who were lost. Most Christians think that Jesus meant to not be saved when he said he came to seek and save those who were lost. What if he literally meant that some of us (our descendants) somehow became lost on this planet? Ever think of that Christian or non-christian. The Bible also says we are aliens. What if that was literal? (Food for thought.) Maybe some of you will get your heart's desire and all of us Christians will disappear and go back to our planet. (lol)

Answer 5

I feel saddend that christians have such a close mind to other religions...
Its not the only way to the after life. its just a different one. that got some of the more influencial people to publicize it with whatever they could (truth or lie) and got it to a very big (not the biggest) religion on earth.
Its been a brutal religion, killing many many people, even thought that specifically is against one of the TEN main rules for christianity...
I feel very sorry for those people. theres so much more knowledge beyond christianity.
its definitely a set back.

Answer 6

Very embarrassed...I mean Christ teach us how to be tolerant and loving.He also says we should live in spirit of brotherhood and be an example for this world,and this is the way they show the example?By saying you're wrong,your going to hell,by being judgmental?Believe me the Christians who make statements like this are the lost people,they are insulting the name of Jesus making Christianity look prejudice and hateful.I admire people like Muhammad Yunus and Gandhi even knowing they're not Christians(not just them but many others from other religions),I mean they worked for betterment of mankind and Christ teach us to be a humble and peacemakers,so how dare people make statements like this.Aren't they being hypocrites by saying they have peacefully and religious belief but yet behaving in such a judgmental attitude?I just want us to open the eyes and realize as Jesus says:"On the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.” (Matthew 23:27)So please we should avoid being the same person in this passage mentioned by Christ otherwise according to Him we're the lost ones.

Answer 7

Most faiths consider their flock to be the saved ones and everyone else to be the lost. It made me feel anger when I was thought of as lost but it also led me to research and question. If I settled the question in my heart and mind then their view would hold less power over me. I think if it bothers you you should search out some facts to settle the matter in your mind.

Answer 8

I feel like Christians are trying to wake people up to the fact that even though they may know where they are here on earth if they don't trust in Jesus, the good shepherd to guide them then they are going to be lost for all eternity when it comes time to leave this planet.

Here is what Jesus tried to explain to people before He laid down his life to pay our sin debt so that we could be with God forever.

(John 10:14-18) I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd. For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from my Father."

Answer 9

I'm a Christian, but I think that calling someone lost for not believing is a little judgemental. I think that if someone doesn't believe in God, let them.

Answer 10

I am a Christian and a firm believer in God Almighty. These are facts! You are a lost soul. That is a fact! To say anything else would be a lie. God Bless.

Answer 11

How do you feel when non christians call christians found people?

Luke 15:32
It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.'"

-Those who receive the gospel of Jesus Christ are found...without Christ one is lost in this world...Because Jesus Christ is our salvation. We who are saved were once dead and now are alive in Christ- ( It is an analogy to salvation through Jesus Christ)
