Why does Christianity make no sense?

Question

I have asked this question before. I still don't understand.

Say I'm this evil person. Killed millions of people. Actually took over the whole world and forced everyone to convert to Christianity. Millions die, millions raped, whole countries destroyed.

I live to be 110. I always believed in Jesus Christ as my savior. I believed I was following his orders all of my life. He smiled down on me and all my crimes.
Do I go to heaven?

If Christians abide by their own laws, then yes, I do.

Don't say that I didn't repent. I didn't repent because I didn't think I had done anything wrong. I in fact had "saved" the whole world by turning them to the right belief, whether they wanted it or not.

Unless you guys twist the facts, I am going to heaven. I just showed you guys the flaw in Christianity. People are rewarded for bad actions.

I am a 15 year old Jewish girl, and proud to be so.

Call me names, I don't care.

I stand by my idea: Christianity has never, and will never, make sense

Answer 1

Being good can't make God love us anymore than He already does. It is our love for Him that makes us want to do good works. There is much more to Christianity than just acknowledging Jesus - that is only the first step. Christianity is validated by the fruit produced in one's life. From what you described that is not a Jesus follower at all. As far as a murderer going to heaven ...that is God's call not ours. And no one can ever force anyone to convert to Christianity...that is impossible to achieve.

Answer 2

True Christianity doesn't teach or, as you say, order anyone to to any of the things you have listed (Crusaders were mixed up and misguided, as are many religions. That doesn't excuse there actions, but don't place there ill ways on Christians today). Also, a Christian KNOWS that they MUST repent in order to receive forgiveness. Yes, God is all forgiving, just as he forgave King David, a Jew, yet David sinned and David repented and David not only goes to heaven, but the Messiah comes from his bloodline. The thing is, GOD KNOWS what is in the heart of any person who does repent. You have to mean it from the heart, not just say it.

I wouldn't call you names, and you are Jewish and Proud and I say you should be! You should be honored to come from the line of people that God has chosen as his people. Many do not like that, but, twisting God's Word won't change it.

True Christians, by the way, support the Jewish People and Israel 100%, I know I do! Those who bless Israel and its people will be blessed, those who curse Israel and its people will be cursed.

I don't know why you think Christians, as a whole, are bad or doesn't make sense, unless you are basing it off the answers sometimes found on this site, then I would understand.

Feel free to reply to me personally. God Bless you my Jewish friend!

*Snip*
If Christians abide by their own laws, then yes, I do.

Christan's don't make the law, God does.

You remind me of a Pharisees. You see the law but miss the spirit of law.

define: Pharisees
A person who was of a sect of the Jewish religion that rigidly adhered to the Law of Moses.

You are lost and will continue to be until you do some study of your own. There is no flaw in Christianity. You example clearly tells me that you need to go back and do some reading and ask more questions.

I bet if you ask this again, you will get the same answers.

Answer 4

Interesting, Mary, the mother of Jesus was a fifteen year old Jewish girl! She too was very faithful to God's laws.

Let me say I commend you for your faith, but I must ask, If you truly believe the Prophets then when will the Messiah come? If he does not come then the Prophets are liars and deceivers of men, If he has come, then the Leaders of the faithful are liars and enemies of the Most High. Which is it???

Scripture says even the Demons believe that Jesus was the Messiah but that did not stop them from being cast into Sheol.

Answer 5

Both the Old and New Testament of the Bible teach an active belief in God--a belief that is lived out through obedience. In the scenario you present, the so-called "believer" is doing actions contrary to the Word of God, whether or not he "believes" they are right. He is living a life of disobedience. The New Testament teaches that the one who walks in the darkness (a life of disobedience) and claims to be in the light is a liar and does not know God.

No matter what that person claims to believe, he is not walking in obedience. Can that person be forgiven through the shed blood of Jesus Christ? Yes, but a heart yielded to Jesus Christ will not walk in opposition to the principles of Christ.

Christianity makes perfect sense to those who have the Holy Spirit in their lives, but "the things of the Spirit are spiritually discerned." Those without the Holy Spirit cannot comprehend them.

God Bless.

Answer 6

Have you cast the first stone?
The evil man in your story does not seem to realize that he is a sinner.
I am a sinner.
Jesus Christ died as a substitute for me.
Jesus Christ died spiritually as a substitute for you.
He who knew no sin, was made sin for us, that we might have the Righteousness of God in us.

God is righteousness and justice.
Sinful man cannot have a relationship with the Righteousness of God.
That is why God the Father sent God the Son so that we may have a relationship with Him.

Addeni Elahanoo, Addeni Echavah.
I do not know the spelling of the previous phrase.
The Jews say this in their sacred ceremonies.
The saying means Jesus Christ is our Savior, Jesus Christ is our God.
God will discipline His children.
No one gets off Scott free.
By grace are you saved, through faith, it is a gift of God not of works, lest any man should boast.
It is about faith and grace.It seems that you have neither.
I do not believe that your search is over.
Maybe you will be one of the 144,00 Jews after the rapture that accepts Christ as their Savior and evangelizes the Earth.
"It ain't over 'till the fat lady sings".
Peace out.

Answer 7

Actually, no, you wouldn't go to Heaven, if you abide by Christianity's terms. Every lesson that Jesus taught said the same thing: it's what is in your heart, not what rules you follow, that will determine how you are judged.

If you honestly believed that Jesus is your savior, then you wouldn't kill millions of people, you wouldn't try to convert them to Christianity by killing them ... that is simply not Jesus teachings. When the disciples asked Jesus "what, above all other things would you have us do?" He answered "I would that you love one another". Those you speak of, the ones who in the name of Christianity killed and murdered, were obviously not Christian, they simply claimed it for political reasons. We adults understand this, one day when you grow up you will too.

As the Pharisee did in Jesus day, so do you, a young Jewish girl, do today. You try to live according to the rules, and it doesn't make sense. Jesus came and saved us despite the Jewish rules that condemned us. It makes perfect sense, but not for you, you are not of Jesus flock.

Answer 8

I understand what you are saying! Religions make no sense at all. Spirituality is what matters. I call myself a Christian because I am a follower of Christ and believe in Him. I understand that many are confused by the theme of religions, but that's because humans made them up. When Jesus Christ died for us, all He wanted was to save us from all the sins of this world, knowing that there was nothing we could do to save ourselves. Unfortunately many call themselves Christians yet don't know God. The Holy Spirit is not in them- they have not recieved Him. What matters is that each individual have a personal relationship with God and have Faith in Him. He is around us and we can feel His power, the Holy Spirit. Only through Him, in the name of Jesus can we understand and see what God is really like. Christianity will never be understood by someone who hasn't experienced it himself and the only way to experince it is by accepting what God has done for you and recognizing that He doesn't want us to live confused but rather to live and abundant life not only here on earth, but He has given us Eternal life with Him. He has already done it, it was His gift of love. Now it's our decision wheter we accept it, He knows it's up to you and won't go against your will.

Answer 9

That sounds more like Islam then Christianity. We dont kill people to get them to convert. That choice is all up to each individual person.. Christianity is an individual in a loving and abiding relationship with Jesus Christ God Almighty. People are not rerwarded for bad actions. Christianity, like God forces no one to believe or follow.

Answer 10

Not if you have the mark of the beast.

BUT as a believer in Jesus you shouldn't care about all of that.

IN FACT you should be going out and bringing others to GOD for judgement in the hopes some of them are FREE of the mark.

Now, do you understand Christianity?

I'll give you a hint.

Self-sacrifice.

No ego.

Doing for others freely with NO rewards.

Not an easy thing to be or do.

Not everyone is cut out for the task.

It IS a TASK.

It's WORK.

HARD WORK.

HARW WORK WITH NO REWARDS.

What, you were EXPECTING SOMETHING.

So was the GUY you went out with.

He expected something YOU DIDN'T GIVE HIM.

What do YOU expect from GOD!

If YOU as a GIRL expect something from GOD, I guess that makes you a GUY.

A guy who didn't get anything!

Now, do you understand Christianity!

Another hint.

It's GIVING without GETTING.

It's about a guy who GIVES you a good time and doens't care if he doesn't get.

I know that's mytholigical.

That's what separates MYTH from RELIGION

Religious people don't worry about what they get or don't get. They just DO.
