Why is it that Christianity is the most arrogant religion?

Question

Muslims believe that people of the book (Christians and Jews) dont go to hell, but have the chance to learn islam in the hereafter

Buddhism maintains no general specifications of heaven nor hell

So why is that Christians have this arrogance that THEY are 100% right and everyone else will suffer eternally for being "wrong"?

Answer 1

GOOD QUESTION. I'M A CHRISTIAN AND I OFTEN HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS. I WOULDN'T CONDEMN ANYONE ANYMORE THAN I WANT TO BE CONDENMED. I BELIEVE IN JESUS WITH ALL MY HEART. AND THEY BELIEVE WHAT THEY DO WITH ALL THEIR HEART.
MAYBE IT GOES BACK TO THE SAYING "LOVE HURTS" AND IF I REALLY LOVE YOU THEN I WILL TELL YOU THE TRUTH EVEN IF YOU HATE ME FOR IT.

Answer 2

I hope that not all christians are arrogant religion followers.Maybe they are arrogant because they convince that their sins will be born by Jesus so they will go to heaven.Is it right that Jesus will be sacrificed for the sake of all of his followers ?According to islamic teaching everyone will bear his/her own sins.It is logic.It is illogic and unfair if all Jesus followers will go to heaven without God's final trial..Yes muslims believe as God's spoken in the holy Qur'an that the Jews and christians have a chance to be forgiven their sins by Allah and they do not go to hell if they aware that the true religion is Islam and they do not make an ally to Allah as the only one God and they make many good doings and believe that Muhammad pbuh is the last prophet and holy Qur'an is the updated life guide from Allah for all humans.Allah has given the
happy news in the Bible that after Jesus will come Ahmad the last prophet.This verse was got rid of the Bible.So they do not acknowledge Islam as the right religion and Muhammad as the last prophet..They know only Bible and Jesus as the last holy book and prophet as they treated him also as the son of God.
They only know that Bible is right and Christianity is the right religion.They do not know that Jesus and Bible was dedicated by God for only the jews tribe and holy Qur'an was dedicated for all humans.in this world for the safety life in eternal .life after death.
The christians only run after the happiness in this world because
the heaven is guaranted for them.so they are arrogant.

Answer 3

Christianity in the real sense of it is an experience, it is a relationship with God through Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. Any God you approach outside this definition is not true christianity, its a fake. You can only come to God on His terms not ours.

We cannot add atheists, muslims, budhist and others into our belief because we want to fratenize and to be inclusive, God says Jesus is the only way to Him (John 14:6) and He has not changed His mind about it yet. So you can't expect us to lower God's standards because we want to please all men.

However I still believe atheists are the most arrogant. They might claim atheism is not a religion, but everything is about taking a side on the issue of God. While others might believe in an invisible god, the atheists' god is self and science.

Answer 4

First of all, define what you mean by "arrogant". If by arrogant you mean that true Christians refuse to be tolerant of the satanic inspired pluralistic view that ALL religions are relevant because, gee, they all point to God and they all ultimately are kind and "good" in their own humanistic way, then I can see how you, and millions and millions like you are so confused about religion in general. Lets not forget that through history alot of nutcases have committed atrocities in the name of true Christianity and, in my view, are no different than these Islamic murderers who actually believe that they do God service by blowing little children into many little pieces. And you think Christianity is arrogant? As for Christianity itself, as opposed to the seemingly endless other so-called religions in the entire history of the world, which of them has ever uttered a single sentence of prophecy that actually came true? Zero. Why? Because they know if they did and it didn't happen, the people would realize them for the charlatans they really were and probably be executed by sundown. Further, of all the other world religions, -where are their founders? In their graves-that's where. Where is the One who, despite all the anti-Christian grave robbing conspiracy theories-yea,yea,yea,-after He died on the cross gave rise what was to become known as Christianity? Is He in a grave somewhere in Jerusalem? No. He is risen. Did any other "religion" in the world ever prophecy about a savior to destroy the power of the evil one and offer salvation to as many as would simply hear His message and accept Him as the rightful ruler of the lives He gave to them in the first place? There can be only one true religion and that is Christianity because it, unlike ALL the others, fulfills all First Principles-those fundamental truths that not only all of science is built on, but all of informed knowledge as well and by informed knowledge I mean that which corresponds to reality and is easily verified by anyone who care to take the time and research the facts for themselves to reach a conclusion that is both truth preserving and unassailable- in other words an argument that is both valid and sound. Besides all of this, Christianity is not a religion- it is a Way of life that is lived by anyone who is willing to have simple faith and a desire to live for Christ and not themselves. Then they wouldn't make such statements that Christianity is arrogant. They would instead realize that religion, like anything else in the wrong hands, can become just as destructive and arrogant as weak minds are willing to believe it is.

Answer 5

Well I think there should be 2 Christian categories so people can know which one you believe in. The first is the one you described, the second I would want to be known as where I believe in God & Jesus as our saviour BUT I believe that everyone has a right to believe whatever they want or not believe if they choose. I hope I'm right in my beliefs but doesn't everyone?

Answer 6

It's the 'fear of god' that makes people arrogantly believe what they believe. But isn't god all forgiving, all merciful?

Buddhism is NOT a faith based religion like Judaism, Christianity or Islam - there is no concept of heaven or hell - but they do subscribe to the idea of continous reincarnation until such a time as we reach 'nirvana' and free our spiritual selves from this circle of life and death.

As the Buddhists say, 'just breathe'.

Answer 7

Because the Jewish nation or at least the rabbi's do not believe that Jesus was the promised messiah. Jesus "the Christ" gave it to the Gentiles and others to keep his words and deeds pure until the Jewish people accept him as such before the ascension.And they have made a mess of the message .By trying to convert as many as possible to Christianity.Even if it meant bring in other religions rites and rituals.Or threating them with death if they did not convert.

Answer 8

The reason they do it is very simple FEAR WORKS!

At least it works on the weak minded.

Christianity is based on fear and not questioning what you are told. This serves a dual purpose since if a person is afraid of pissing off the God figure then they will remain loyal to the church and regularly give them MONEY! The not questioning God then becomes one of not questioning the church or what they are told. These people do not think for themself but rather can only repeat the words of the preacher like a little parrot!

Answer 9

It's the Exclusivity Doctrine: "I am right therefore everyone else is wrong."

There is no evidence whatsoever that the Bible is indeed the "Word of God", any more than there is evidence that the Book of Mormon, the Quar'an, or the Torah is the "Word of God". Despite that enormous gap in credibility, Christianity continues to insist that it is the only way PERIOD and that everyone else is worse than out of luck.

Answer 10

tell me something..... how old are you now? what are you doing at this instant?

How about tomorrow? is everything going to turn out just the way you want them to?
now how about in a hundred years? where will you be?

if you can not even be sure of your own future then maybe you should think about it.....

Jesus Christ tells you that you don't have to worry about your future if only you would believe in him, because he will take care of you. God loves you, my friend.


read the bible, then you'll find out why we believe.....

you're always complaining about how arrogant Christianity is....but have you given it a chance, a chance to get to know it before you judge it with ignorance?

Answer 11

Good question, but also one hard to answer lest it appear or seem arrogant. Maybe it is best answered with a song:
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God.

Blessings to you.
