why is it that christians whine about this?

Question

yes sorry its another persecution question. they complain about being persecuted for this and that... but the bible states

Matthew 5:10
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

shouldnt they be on their knees praising god instead of on their feet whining to man?

really melissa? u must live in your own world. i hear it all the time...

Answer 1

I've never heard a Christian "whine". We do pray and praise God--everyday. So, you may be a bit misinformed.

Answer 2

Ah how quickly all of these people seem to forget. And we're not even a month away from Christmas. All one has to do is go back to the questions during that time and you'll see the "persecution" posts. Many people whining that it's not right what people are doing with Christmas... that they are "trying to take Christ out of Christmas"... yet Christ wasn't in Christmas to begin with. It's a Pagan Holiday.... But, it's unfair that other religions want the same freedom to display their own... and if they can't have that freedom then Christianity shouldn't be allowed to have it.

Let's go back a little further. When they "took prayer out of school" *which they did not do - no one can stop you from praying*.... As we all see, it's mainly Christians complaining that Prayer is not allowed in public schools.... what isn't allowed by the law is LEAD Prayer (the school can not lead in a prayer, promoting one religion over another). Now they are trying to get prayer back into school... BUT! They only want theirs.... when they are told No, they can't do that... they cry persecution.

Please don't try to tell me that Christians are not crying persecution. I see this all the time, here, elsewhere online, in the news and in my own neighborhood.

Answer 3

I think your persecution concerns are a nice cop out. I rarely encounter Christians claiming this anyway. It's generally a fantasy notion to distract people from real issues.

Answer 4

People like you are only annoyances and space wasters, not persecution. Maybe someday you'll grow up and get a job so you won't have so much time to troll on your parents computer and who knows, maybe you'll learn something.

Answer 5

I am a christian. I have never been persecuted. When I get down on my knees it is to thank Him and ask for His guidance, not to whine. You are to be pitied.

Answer 6

they should be OFF their knees and into ACTION doing something POSITIVE for others. I dont believe spouting the word is much use at ALL if the spouter is not putting their $ where the mouth is by DOING FOR OTHERS, putting in actual TIME in a humble manner.

Answer 7

I find it annoying that they think that name calling is "persecution". Makes me want to pull out the Malleus Maleficarum and give them a few choice words.

Did you know that there was a statue of the Virgin Mary in Madrid with spikes on her arms? They put witches in the statue, pulled a lever, and Mary "hugged" the witch. Nice, huh?

Answer 8

we all whine about things. we have to accept this thing that these r stories... nothing more or less. and see how stupids we are that we r fighting by considering it the sole matter of universe.

Answer 9

yup im a christian and i think that its no excuse to not give God praise

Answer 10

well when someone speaks ill about your parent or child, do you consider it "whining" to defend them???

christians (real ones) are in love with jesus....and take it personally when someone insults him.

but you're kinda right...i'l give you half credit beause christians should know what to expect. jesus was rejected.
