Christians: A good religion cannot bring forth bad fruit, and a bad religion cannot bring forth good fruit?

Question

Bearing in mind historical facts like:

Christian anti-semitism led to the Holocaust,
Christians murdered all the muslim women and children found in Jerusalem when the Crusaders conquered it,
Christians tortured and burned heretics,
Christians tortured and burned witches,
Christians bought, sold, and owned slaves,
Christians divided slave families, separating husbands and wives, children and parents,

Would you insist that Christianity has -never- brought forward bad fruit?

Answer 1

It has nothing to do with ChristianITY. It has to do with ignorant idiots who SAID they were Christain and THOUGHT they were doing the right thing.

Answer 2

Any faith has it's good fruit and bad fruit.
People (human beings) are what make a "religion" and people are by nature - sinful. Even a devout Christian leader can become "bad-fruit" if they make poor choices in their lives.
Because God gave us the ability to make choices and because we are "human" - there will always be "bad-fruit" in any faith, culture, etc. Non of this, however, means that they are unforgivable through God's Mercy. They only need ask.

Answer 3

The original quote is a false assumption.

There are good people, and there are bad people.

Christians are a subset of the population, and they also have this dynamic (you can argue over the percentages).



Your question is a nice "proof by contradiction", assumption is false, Christianity can bring forth bad fruit.

Answer 4

There is a group today that calls themselves Christian that produce a lot of bad fruit. Those in the real Christian church openly oppose them, yet people like you will bring out people like that and call it an example of Christianity while the truth you keep hidden. The world is a far better place thanks to true Christianity and those who follow its message--Love your neighbor

Answer 5

i hit upon this question very tricky to respond to. you're saying she is adversarial and could no longer answer your questions approximately her faith yet is rapid to enable you realize which you're incorrect. If she incredibly needed her son to correctly known and be a factor of her faith she would boost up and do whats terrific for the newborn and that i think of and authentic Jw would do the comparable factor. right this is what i understand....they do no longer have fun any holiday trips or birthdays in any respect. extremely because you're no longer a JW it is approximately all it is considerable on your place with regard to the newborn. Do you intend to take him to the hall and boost right into a JW if no longer then you incredibly extremely do no longer would desire to coach him something.....that is his mothers accountability no longer yours.

Answer 6

:)

Religion is individuals made up to be a whole, yes some things have been bad... ultimately the fruit is supposed to be good - because God is Good.

religion in my view is bad anyway, it is relationship with God that is most important.... which is spiritual and you obey what God says...
