Then why do we bash non believers when they can't keep our law that they are not even under?

Mark .. If you are able to keep the whole law then my hat is off to you brother.

Honey, its not about the law, its about grace (God's unmerited favor). No one can keep the law, but the law does show us how short we fall & need that grace.
I don't expect the world to act like they know Christ, nor do I expect them to abide by Christian guide lines for life. I expect them to act just they way they do. I don't bash them, but I do pray for them. I don't know your circle of friends, but if they are doing that, I would consider different friends.

I have never bashed a non-believer for not being able to keep the law, in doing so, I would condemn myself, since by the same standard that I judge, I will be judged. My patience does wear thin, however, when I see the same questions, and the same objections to Christianity posted over and over and over again, and it's obvious that they are just unwilling to see the truth, in which case I simply kick the dust off my feet and go on.

God chose the preaching of the gospel to birth people into His kingdom. When people hear the Word of God, when they accept the truth about God's Word and receive salvation, they enter in that salvation by faith. Which is what God desires. If unbelievers hear the truth and believe it, they believe by faith and that God really exists. Why did God give the Israelites the Law of Moses? So they would understand the God who owns this planet is a holy God and these are His laws, statutes, and ways. Even when God's kindom was set up under David and the kings of Judah they spread the teaching of the Law to the unbelieving nations. Those nations who revered and honored God found mercy, but those who rejected Him were destroyed.

Yes they are under the same law of God.
The law of God is clear and present and has been with mankind ever since he created us.
Let's take one of the ten commandments for instance
"Thou shalt not murder". This is a command that was given to Israel in the Old Testament but it applies to every single human being. We as humans instinctively know that it is wrong to murder because of our conscience.
Romans 2:14-16 for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, 15 who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them) 16 in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.

Yes, Christians shouldn't be hypocritical. And we shouldn't bash others. We should pray for and love them. It's not always easy though, because Christians are humans too. But w/ God all things are possible.

Well, we shouldn't be bashing them for not keeping the law. for we all sin!And they are under the law. If there is bashing, then it should be for not being a believer in God.

Great question.
Thet are motivated by religious teaching.
They believe what the pastors are teaching them.
Quite a grip i'd say.

This STRANGE..... Politically "incorrect" Belief..... that NO ONE is suppose to Say Anything.... About WRONG..... as Defined by GOD... is noting but Plain and Simple.... FOOLISHNESS!
(Ezekiel 2:7) And you shall speak My Words to them, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear, for they are rebellious.
AND....
(2Timothy 4:1-to-4) Therefore I solemnly witness before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is going to judge the living and the dead according to His appearance and His kingdom,
(2Ti 4:2) preach the Word, be instant in season and out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine.
(2Ti 4:3) For a time will be when they will not endure sound doctrine, but they will heap up teachers to themselves according to their own lusts, tickling the ear.
(2Ti 4:4) And they will turn away their ears from the truth and will be turned to myths.
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST...... DID YOU MISS THIS ONE?
(Ezekiel 3:18-to-21) When I say to the wicked, You shall surely die; and you do not give him warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked one shall die in his iniquity; but I will require his blood at your hand.
(Eze 3:19) Yet if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.
(Eze 3:20) And when the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and when I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die. Because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand.
(Eze 3:21) But if you warn the righteous so that the righteous does not sin, and if he does not sin, he shall surely live because he is warned; also you have delivered your soul.
Thanks, Roger R.
