Why do you Christians try to scare people into your religion like this?

Question

You cant tell me your not using scare tactics on children when you look at sites like this:

Answer 1

yes, as a matter of fact, i CAN tell you that i'm not using scare tactics on children and am not trying to scare people into following Christ...tying all Christians to some website (which locked my computer up for 10 minutes-thank you very much) like that one makes as much sense as tying all atheists to stalin and mao's mass murders...so much for atheist logic and rational thinking

Answer 2

Yes, I can tell you that there are Christians who do not teach their children about Yahweh or Yeshua; in this manner.

To say that 'all' Christians teach their kids in this way, would be a lie or unfairly generalizing people of a particular group.

I took a look at that site and came to the conclusion, that the person who put it together probably does not have a true and personal relationship with Yahweh (God) or His Son Yeshua (Jesus Christ).

Anyone who has a real and personal relationship with the Heavenly Father knows that we are told to "Love others as you do yourself". So, because I love you enough to not want you to be eternally punished; I am NOT going to use this kind of tactic on you.

Yahweh wants everyone to come to Him, in the same manner that He gave His Son to die for our sins; Freely and without coersion. Yeshua, freely went to the cross, to bear all the wrongs, of all people, for all time.

It is true, that we are told those who do not accept His Son, for who he is; will not inherit eternal life.

But we do the same everyday, through a process called "A Last Will and Testament". Where we determine who will "inherit" and who "will not inherit".

Look at it this way:

What would happen if this nation did not have laws, rules, and regulations which govern the people?

So, why can't Yahweh (God) have His own Kingdom Rules, Laws, and Regulations?

And BECAUSE He has these laws -

Don't you think it only logical that He ALSO has disciplinary punishments for violators (non-citizens) or says that only those who obey His Rules; are considered Citizens of His Kingdom?

Unlike, the USA which has immigration laws; but does not really enforce them.

Yahweh enforces His immigration laws.

Final thought:

I really and truely do not want people, to become a Christian out of fear or intimidation. Because it is impossible to have a relationship with someone (Yahweh or Yeshua), when you feel like your being "held hostage".

Answer 3

Because that is the way that Christianity has always recruited their flock. By instilling the fear of an eternity of torment at a young age, they run less risk of people saying "I'm not afraid of anything God can do to me", and straying.

They also strongly discourage simply questioning anything the Bible says, using the same scare tactics.

Then they dangle the carrot, "If you do exactly as the Bible says, you will live forever in paradise." It's a very simple, yet very powerful marketing strategy.

Answer 4

The answer to your question is quite easy, not all Christians got together to make that web site. It represents one or maybe a few people's personal thoughts & feelings, it is not the official web site of Christianity. In fact, after looking at the rest of the web site it's hard to take it seriously at all. It looks like a joke, and no intelligent person would take it seriously.

Answer 5

If it scares you then perhaps there is something in your life that isn't right and if you continue to stray from God then that is exactly where you will end up at.

Hell is not a myth or something that is made up,Hell is real my freind and you people need to listen & accept the truth and quit fighting against the Lord because I tell you no lie that if you continue to defy and deny God you will lose and it will happen that one day God is going to have enough of all of this Christian bashing & persecuting,God is going to have enough of the Atheists and the ACLU ranting & bullying,God is going to have enough of the abortionists and homosexuality and everything else that is wicked in this world.

God will put an end to all of it in due time and you all can put your thumbs down on me all that you want to because I know with all of my heart that one day God will put the thumb down on you on the Day of Judgment when God will say,"Depart from me you worker of initquity,I never knew you!"

Since the very begininng people has tried to tell you people about the Lord and that we all have a Heaven to gain and a Hell to shun but unfortunately for you all you have repeatedly refuse to listen but believe me that one day you will listen however it may be too late for you.

Answer 6

Some people are weird like that. But all we are trying to do is save you. We don't want you to die and go to he ll. We want you to experience a wonderful relationship with God. Believe me, I never would make it on my own. I need God so desperately I can't see how people would deny him and his love. i just don't get that. But I try to get past that road block so I can share God's love and grace with the world. I hope you come to realize you need God as much as "we christians" do.

Answer 7

cause they think its theyre way the first(maybe not all)christians fought for people to belive in celtic times(see ad!!not bc)(some)current christians are already scared into it that they see it has to consume their lives.going to heaven is like wasting your life for a dirt nap?ever see it that way?

Answer 8

That's just how you feel because you don't believe. I feel that people on here are just telling people about Christ not trying to scare you into beliveing their beliefs

Answer 9

Because religion has washed their brains out and they can't think properly anymore. It's lame. Live and let live as people please! You don't get better seats in Heaven if you lure(scare) people in...

Answer 10

I'd rather scare someone into Heaven than lull them into hell.
