is my brother feeding me lies about christianity?

Question

My brother told me that he read this book and it talks about how if you are not pure christian you will go to hell and that when you die you do not go staright to Heaven, your body is put to sleep until God comes back to get us. he tells me this stuff all the time and that they only place that teaches this stuff only meets one sunday a month, to me that sound like a cult.


now when i say if you are not a pure christian i mean that you are white ( Irish, German,English). he says that black people, indians, jews, italians, ect. are going to hell. he also told me that my husband would goto hell because he is american indian but i will go to heaven because im irish/english, and my daughter will goto hell because she has indian in her. This is why i said i think it sounds like a cult.

Answer 1

Katie,
This is either a LIE or a cult like group. The BIBLE contains GOD's WORD and HE does not pick and choose from groups of people by ethnicity. In fact we are either Jewish or Gentile. You and I are Gentiles and we have an equal chance of Heaven as long as we are faithful to HIS WORD. Jesus Christ came and was brutally murdered so that we would have an opportunity to be in HEAVEN. Have a great evening and a wondereful week. I would be glad to answer any other religious question at any time.
Thanks,
Eds, Christian

PS... My wife and I have been faithful Christians for over twenty years.

Answer 2

Cult: A system of religious beliefs and rituals.
Christianity is a cult. First of all, I must say, If we are to believe what words that were passed down. The Bible says, God is not a respecter of persons. Sounds like to me that your brother has himself convinced that this church or whatever is the only way to heaven. Believe me in my heart, I don't think Jesus separated out races when he taught about the Good Samaritan. Jews were not supposed to have anything to do with Samaria because they were not considered blessed and less. You have two choices, You can follow your brother or Not. If you do , you will be playing right into the hands of people who are teaching separation of man and your heart is telling you not to already. He cannot see what you do. It hurts to hear such prejudice like this. The Nazi camps were full of people who were separated out and they are groups who still believe they are right and in the Name of God many deaths took place because people were convinced that they were right and others were wrong. What do you really think God would say?

Saying that only White (Irish, German, English) are the only ones going to Heaven is a very inaccurate and has no scriptural backing. It actually shows a very racial and UN-Christian like attitude. An attitude would not be pleasing to God at all nor would it win his favor. The Bible helps us to appreciate that when Jesus was on earth he did not preach and teach to one racial group or nationality, but he talked to all people. One example of that can be found in the Bible at John 4 and starting at verse 7. This account goes in the conversation that took place between Jesus and the Samaritan woman. Jesus never made a difference in people b/c of their racial backgrounds and likewise as true Christians and followers of Christ we are in no position to make a difference in people b/c of racial backgrounds.
As for his reasoning on death. There are two scriptures that he seems to be referring to. The first is Ecclesiastes 9:5 that says the following..."For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead , they are conscious of nothing at all..." and second is found at John 5:28,29. "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment." These scriptures do help us to see that the dead at not conscious and that we do have to hope of being resurrected.

Answer 4

Don't know if it's a cult or not, but it's certainly a load of crap. Don't listen to him. Read your Bible, learn what it says, and then you will have the weapons at your disposal to obliterate his claims. The only "pure" Christians are those who truly believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, who came to earth as a sacrifice for our sins, died and rose again so that we could have life eternal with Him in Heaven. It has nothing at all to do with your ethnicity.

Answer 5

Definitely a cult. White supremest it sounds like, almost the same concept Hitler had on creating a pure race, also the Klu Klux Clan.
Scripture says that anyone that accepts Christ as their personal saviour will go to heaven, no boundries on race, creed or color.....

Answer 6

Your brother is a far cry from Christianity...for one we can not work out our salvation. We are saved by Christ alone. And two all of those people whom your brother says will go to hell can be born again and saved as well. Your brother is being a self righteous racist sob and has no right to preach anything.

Answer 7

Your bor is wrong, almost sounds as if he is in the KKK. If he talks about Jews going to hell, hop he knows that Jesus was a Jew. I don't know you or your hubby, by Indian do you mean Native American or Hen-do,(hope that's how you spell it) but it doesn't matter. What you believe is what happens. Hope you don't let your bro mess with your head.

Answer 8

Native way, you must be accountable every minute of each day and your life. We do not believe in easy forgiveness by the Creator. If you are bad and do evil things and so forth, hurt others, then your spirit is burned by the sun when you die, into oblivion. Otherwise, you go where your family and loved ones are. Keep in mind, it is what is behind the Sun that is important. Also, Native covenant, protect Mother Earth......... Ensure she is healthy for future 7 generations and so forth, pray for them now, be happy for what you have : )

Answer 9

nicely, lies approximately what Christendom teaches-definite. there is not any burning place of torment, hun. Hell is basically the grave. And, definite, once you die you're unsleeping of no longer something-Ecclesiastes 9:5. till the resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous, lower back to the earth. The meek will inherate the earth-Psalms 37:9, 11. Matthew 5:5. And with regard to the completed cult element, i does not be speedy to call it that. which you need to to truly seem up the definition of a cult. i desire that those scriptures will help you, and to place your ideas comfortable approximately issues.

Answer 10

Doesn't sound like a cult. Sounds more like KKK.

Anyone who has accepted Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior will go to heaven when they die. No where in the Bible does it say that only certain races will enter the Kingdom of God.
