Why would you condem those that do not believe like you do? Because your "GOOD BOOK" tells you they are? Too bad you have accepted to prejudice your fellow human and MANKIND!

Well, first of all thanks for the railing accusation. I will speak for myself and say that I believe in Jesus Christ because the Bible is truth and reality. We have in the last few years, been born into the world of the Bible. It has not come into our world. Our world, this western society, is in a current state of denial concerning the things of the holy scriptures in the Bible - but this has not always been the case.
If anyone cared to know what is contained in the Bible, and to understand what it says, they could adopt that pursuit and do so. I am living proof of this. Not to suggest that I know or understand everything, because I'm continually learning. But it is plain for me to see that I know more about the Bible than the majority that are posting in this forum. The thing that is lacking in others to adopt the pursuit of the Bible, and the God and Savior that it reveals, is an attitude of being teachable.
No one that lashes out at Christians and criticizes the Bible while having a less than remedial knowledge of it can lower themself to a position of student while maintaining that attitude of contempt. And this is why all those that do so will remain ignorant of the truth the Bible contains, as long as they are themselves prejudiced in this fashion.
The Bible is not outdated. It is not untimely or irrelevant. Of course that would be impossible for someone to see, if they are prejudiced against it.
The goal of a true Christian is not to condemn others. The goal of a true Christian is to impale others with the truth. Because as long as it is acceptable to me for you to remain ignorant of reality, you will be so. That may mean that I have to tear your little dream world apart to plant a seed of life where there is none - but if that needs be the case so be it. You probably will find it very offensive of me to openly proclaim what the Bible says - this only confirms the fact that what it says is truth and that you are as yet not able to receive it. Thus your dire need for it.
So YES Jesus Christ is the promised Messiah, the Holy One of God, His very Son. He was born in the flesh from the seed of a woman, the seed of faithful Abraham, and He was crucified and died for your sins as well as mine. He was raised again from the tomb, and raised for our justification. He is ascended into heaven and seated at God the Father's right hand in Majesty, until the end of the age we are currently in comes. At that time He will defeat His enemies and establish His Throne upon earth. And YES I am prejudiced for Jesus Christ, but not against you.

I don't condem. God condems. You gotta problem with that, take it up with God, although if you're not a Christian you may have a problem talking directly with God, for the Bible says only through Jesus can you reach the father. It's a perk.
You can do what you like. You already are. I'll bet you own a car and dump a ton of pollutants into the air we breath each day. I haven't owned a car in 25 years.
Jump off a cliff if you want to. Your right, I'm not your keeper.
God wants Quality not Quanity. If you don't think of yourself as having the "right stuff" who am I to disagree!

Funny, I'm thinking Yeshua was the victim of a lot prejudices when he revealed his new take on his religion, Judism... Anyone who is prejudice against those who do not believe as they do, aren't following what Yeshua Ben Joseph was teaching.

religion is prejudicing. The moment a religious movement gets the upper hand, others religions are banned and/or suppressed. Through history this practice has it self repeated many time. The USA was founded to prevent such a religious dictatorship

NOOOO!!!!! God tells us to love others as He loved us, Jesus loved all men on earth. I am Catholic, that does not mean I am prejudice towards Christians, we are Christians, we are all brothers/ sisters, and we should all respect each others choices.
~Good Luck, and God Bless!!!

Organized Relgion is hypocratic. It teaches people to be accepting of everyone, but then later says that that religion is the only way and that particular religion is the correct way to worship. However, people who do worship should understand that their is no way to prove or disprove if your or someone elses religion is correct.

Accepting God, or Jesus, or any other deity is not prejudicing others in and of itself. Those who chose to close their minds and ignore other peoples faiths are the ones who prejudice.

I've always maintained that adherence to orthodox religion is the worst form of bigotry. Not only is everybody outside your particular cult "wrong," but condemned to burn in hell or its equivalent for all eternity.

A follower of Christ is not here to condemn unbelievers. Judgment is reserved for Christ Himself.
