Answer 1

jesus said love your enemy
he did not say Kill everyone you hate.
therefore longsuffering was the declared the fruit of the spirit but it was also taught that god waited 500 years hoping and suffering long that people would repent and believe in Noah, and just like ninevah, there might have been a reversal in gods judgment in destroying all flesh. but it may not have been possible for all the nephelim to repent.

Answer 2

Where does it say that Christians should not get along with Non's? I believe it tells you not to do the things "unbelievers" do, which is in reference to the Old Test - you shouldn't be following after Pagan Traditions, is basically what it's saying. Or to be a part of the world (following the crowd more or less). But it doesn't state you can't be friends with a Non.

Answer 3

The Bible does not say not to get along with non Christians. It says that Christians should fellowship with other Christians so that they can learn and grow in faith with one another. Christians should certainly be kind to and friendly with non believers as they witness to them about the love of Christ. Especially if the non christian is interested in the good news of Jesus Christ.

Answer 4

The Bible says nothing of the sort. The Bible states you should get along with your neighbor, if that be possible. If you go out of your front door in the morning, and you say "hi" to your neighbor, and they scream "I hate your stupid God" and start to throw rocks at your head, probably its not gonna be possible to get along with that person. I get along with people of all faiths, and you know that every person comes by their personal relationship in their own unique way - if someones interest in being Jewish or being luteran, causes them to get into Studying Gods Word, then I sure as heck don't want to interfere - obviously a seed is starting to take root in that person, and only God can make that seed grow. If the person has a question or is interested in why my beliefs are different than what they have learned, then of course that would open the way up for me to tell them. But by no means does God ever suggest that you should shun someone for not believing the way that you do. As long as a person does not interfere in any way with my worship of God, hey, they are fine with me; God does not ask us to judge other religions - judging is His job, and he does just fine at it without my help.

Answer 5

We are told not to enter into a marriage or exclusively affiliate ourselves with non-believers because it can eventually lead us into sin and away from the Lord. However we are told to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every living soul. If we didn't mingle with people of other faiths, or no beliefs at all, we wouldn't be able to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. And, besides, Jesus himself hung out with criminals and prostitutes. What it does mean is enter into marriage with a believer so you can support one another in your walk with the Lord; and the same for having people of the same faith as friends for the same reasons...but...as your question asks...how else can we share the gospel with our other friends and acquaintances if we completely isolate ourselves from them. You just have to be mindful of where you go with them and the kind of activities you participate in with them. And pray about your relationship with your unbelieving friends. Without prayer in any situation in your life you will surly struggle and fail. Go. Pray. Share the gospel of Jesus Christ with everyone you know.

Answer 6

Jesus taught a lot of people, and a lot of people did not believe him or did not listen, so what did Jesus do? He walked away from them and went into another town where they will listen. If a non believer is not wanting to learn you cannot force them, just walk away from them and find somebody that will listen about God. I is not healthy for christians to be friends with non believers, because just say you sant to talk about what God did for you last night, or last week and you are full of the holy spirit, and you end up talking about Jesus and the Father will so much passion, your friend will problally think you are weird. And therefore you have nothing in common with them, so get rid of them, unless they are willing to accept Jesus.

Answer 7

I do not think it is safe to do such a thing. I know of faiths that have been ship wrecked and lives ruined.
not because person is bad but because the persons Ideology is different and their world view is different

Answer 8

The Bible does say to not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. It is best to stand with God then to side with man. Man will fail you everytime but God is faithful.

Answer 9

My father is a Diciples of Christ minister. He has been a minister in the Christian church for over 50 years.

I am Buddhist. One of my brothers, an adopted Navajo, believes in the traditional Navajo beliefs. Our father loves us as much as he loves his other two children who are Christian.

Do you think your heavenly father would hold you in contempt for showing kindness and friendship to one who has not found him yet? Or do you think he would be dissappointed in you for turning your back on one of his children?

“If anyone says, 'I love God,' yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen (1 John 4:20).”

Lead by example. If they follow or not, it is not up to you to pass judgement. They are still your brothers.

Answer 10

The Bible tells us to love everyone, not to not get along, Jesus
does tell us to tell them three times of Him and His father, If they
still do not believe,shake the dust off your feet, and walk away.
