A true Christian message?

Question

Just got this in an e-mail from a Christian trying to prove her moral and spiritual superiority (having no idea of my spiritual affiliations) after I had commented on the unnecessarlily unpleasant nature of an answer she had posted.

I wonder if she praises Jesus with that filthy mouth?


"You are a ******* ignorant peagan, ignorance lies in those who believe that they had free-will when they were born, There is no such thing as free will. Free will is only the devil telling you that you want these things and you are so damn mindless you are allowing it. It is probably a good thing that you gave up Christianity because you are unworthy and to weak to abide. You are no longer an individual who can make it, but a weak individual who won't ever amount to me or for that matter anyone around you. I feel bad for the people who know you....."


What do real Christians think of this charmer's words?

Answer 1

I am shocked but not surprised.

Unfortunately there is nothing to stop anyone from going around calling themselves a Christian while spreading hate filled messages like this.

I do not consider this person to be a real Christian in the same way that most Muslims would not consider a suicide bomber representative of Islam or most Atheists would not consider a church burner representative of Atheism.

The key indicator of a true Christian (in my opinion) is whether they follow the "Golden Rule" - do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Answer 2

Let no foul or polluting language, nor evil word nor unwholesome or worthless talk [ever] come out of your mouth, but only such [speech] as is good and beneficial to the spiritual progress of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that it may be a blessing and give grace (God's favor) to those who hear it. ---Ephesians 4:29.


And we do have free will, because God doesn't force us to do His will, or what we know is right. The devil telling you want things (whatever they are) is called 'temptation.' But, because we have free will, we can either resist or give in.

I'm sorry that someone who said they were a Christian tried to hurt you like that. It wasn't her place to judge you, no matter what her opinions are. I do hope that you do discover what Christ is truly about, and that's God's love, and I'm sorry that you were shown otherwise. But her words are the words of a misled person. You are worthy of God's love, and you amount to any true Christian, because Christ commanded us to love one another, and that is the law that trumps all other laws.

I just wish some people would remember that once in a while.

Answer 3

I would not be so arrogant as to call myself a real Christian, if that impliued others were not, BUT...
I feel sorry for anyone who feels the need to write that way.
The Bible has much to say about choice which would be foolish were there no such thing as free will.
I trust that you will exercise your free will in forgiving the person who wrote that to you. She sounds to be in need of love and forgiveness.

I do recommend, however, offering that free will back to Jesus....I am delighted that I did

Answer 4

Its so obxious you are in denial and effected by all this, the satan is talking to u know while u put this , u r contradicting what u r saying lol, the devil does lead ppl WHO ARE WEAK MINDED, ppl choose to feel how they do, when ppl turn gay its usually later on life, in 20is etc, so how is it they are born that way? if they sleep with opposite sex then realise they r different so then how is that being born that? girl do some research or get some teaching, otherwise ppl will laugh at u more, trust me, it seem ur really gullable, simple and naive, i pray for u.

Answer 5

I cannot comment on a conversation that I was not privy to, nor can I judge someone that I haven't met. But the following passage might answer your question:

--------------------------
With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
~James 3:9-12 (NIV)

Answer 6

This person thinks that she is a Christian? It sounds like she don't know Jesus, at all. Bitterness and foul language is Not a fruit of the Spirit! I am very concerned at the way some (who call themselves christian) behave!! It's sad!

Answer 7

well personally i dont reli agree with it cuz we do have free will thats wot god gave us and thts y the 'sin of man' caused the world we have now in tht adam eve thing and with this we were then forgiven when jesus sacrificed himself for our sins etc.... hmmm and ye so now the 'devil' tempts us to sin etc etc but we're supposed to fight that.....
lol i duno wot i'm actually talkin about......
i'm reli bad at explain sozzy ahahaha
still cant reli say anything although i think she is wrong i cant really tell, plus u cant reli say she cant praise jesus with that mouth and tht cozz u dont reli know wot tht person's intentions are when worshipin only god..
okay wot else....
personally i dont think she has the right to say all tht stuff to you...
just a opinion

o and i'm not reli sure if i can describe myself as 'real' or 'not real' god knows -.-
=P bibi!

Answer 8

I love it when religious people curse. You're so lucky to have an email from one of them! LOL Joking aside, I can't believe a supposedly decent and God loving person can't at least see the irony in doing this. God won't be impressed with them I'd say.

Answer 9

If this truly came from a Christian, I dare say that they aren't acting like one. Indeed, using insults instead of patience is never a way to bring others into the flock.

Answer 10

in the Christian denominations I hear various debate approximately which message is real between the extremely some issues they say. i think of the perfect plan is to examine the scriptures for your self and ask the author to lead you. And he will
