Christians, are you "politically correct"?

Question

when asking or answering questions so you don't get slammed? Or do you just say it how it is?

Answer 1

For the best answers in life's' situations, think, think, think, pray and then think again. The reason for this is people sometimes act out of emotions. When we learn to pray, then think on those issues emotions are not the route of our decisions.

Answer 2

I say it how it is but I try to be kind in my approach since I want people to do the same with me.

I don't believe in all this politically correct stuff. No matter how you say something, it all boils down to the same basic thing and you never know which term you use might be ok for one person but still offend someone else. I'm not going to walk on eggs all the time, fearing that someone is going to get bent out of shape because I didn't word things exactly the way "they" wanted it. What about my rights to say it the way I want to? It goes both ways.

People need to grow up and quit expecting everyone to believe the way they do or to beat around the bush trying to please their every whim. We can be respectful to others without kissing everyone's rearend all the time.

I had polio as a child and ended up with a bad leg/foot from it. The term then was "crippled".

Then I became handicapped.
Then I became disabled.

It matters not what I'm called, I still have a bad leg/foot and I'm still crippled. Use any term you like ~ I'm not offended by any of them. We need to get realistic and quit getting so crazy over nothing. There are more important issues to deal with without always worrying about how to say things all the time.

Answer 3

How did Jesus answer questions? Was He worried about being slammed? If we are to be like Him in every way, that would include taking no thought for what we say. We need to use wisdom and not fly off the handle.

Answer 4

I pray that I am not politically correct. I pray that I am honest- in a straightforward, but loving way. Being honest, does not mean to brow beat the person. Remember we were once lost sinners as well. What made you come to Christ? Someone who beat you over the head, or someone that shared the love of Christ- and allowed the Holy Spirit to convict. Politically correct would mean that certain things which is sin ok, and that I do not think a sin is wrong- loving and being honest, is not believing the sin is ok, but loving the person as Jesus loved us before we came to know Him,

Answer 5

actually not. Political correctness is designed for individuals who're disinterested in fact. it incredibly is the enemy of fact. all of us who thinks Jesus exchange into politically maximum suitable could study Matthew 23 or John 8. He insulted religious and political leaders in public utilising very harsh language.

Answer 6

Funny, I never found that offending others was part of being Christian at all.

Anyone can phrase their questions to be inclusive and avoid racism, sexism, homophobia, and other bigotry. All it takes is a little consideration and kindness. You know, like Jesus talked about.

Answer 7

The bible encourages me to have an answer for everyone who asks for the hope that is within me. It also says to answer people with dignity and respect.

My goal in R&S is to answer questions from the bible, clearly, kindly, without compromising God's word.

Answer 8

No....I'm more interested in "biblically correct" answers (receiving and giving) than politically correct ones!

Answer 9

Politicians worry about correctness--press wise--I prefer the truth with an orderly manor.

Answer 10

I usually tell it like it is. While I appreciate the differences in this forum, I don't believe that all points of view are equally valid, which is the crux of political correctness.

There is such a thing as true versus false, and right versus wrong. There is no such thing as "right for me," versus "right for you." There is a genuine right, and a genuine wrong.
