a question for everyone, even though it isnt really a question?

Question

k! let me start with saying that i do believe in god. i believe in jesus and that he is my saviour. i believe what I understand the bible to say and i do my best to obey it. i guess by that you would all consider me a christian, but i dont claim any religion. what i don't uderstand is why everyone (especially on here) is always argueing about chirstianity, athism, and any and every other religion. which one is better? which one is right? and today the topic seems to be who killed more people? im really trying not to make this an attack on anyone , but athiest, why can't you just agree to disagree? christians, i understand what you are trying to do and why, but arguing with and attacking someones beliefs is going to get you nowhere, and feel free to correct me if i'm wrong but doesnt god say not to judge? last i checked that is his job and his alone.....

Answer 1

The devil, mankind and the spirits have been giving a clear and mercyful choice by their lord that created them.
Everything that was created was created to return to him.
You have a choice as the rest of mankind has a choice...
you are not in any religion allowed to intentionally badger or beat down anyones religion and those who are believers will speak the way you speak, and the Lord himself your right is the only clear judge of anyone and or anything. Peace unto you brother

Answer 2

I got news for you, if you claim Jesus as your savior, you HAVE claimed Christianity as your religion.

It is argued because everybody thinks their worldview is superior and thinks others are harmful. So what kind of person if they think has the truth and can help others would shut their mouth?

Many atheists do agree to disagree and become civil but there is a constant flow of new atheists that encounter the same struggle. Therefore, the same Q's and arguments arise on a daily basis. Youre assuming atheists are all united and of one mind and that isnt the case. If Christians arent like that, what chance do atheists have?

Jesus didnt teach literally not to judge. Then how would believers help themselves out of sin? Read the whole passage.

Answer 3

People will always argue when they disagree. However, its good to know that you can be the bigger person and walk away from it. Like i said, everyone is entitled to their opinions and some persons are able to bring about their point tactfully while others cant.

Its not good to judge, I agree, but stating what you believe and stand for in a ..well.. not so very smart way, does not mean that you are judging. This is what i think happens on many occasions. Besides, everyone is entitled to make mistakes now and then.

All the best

Answer 4

Exactly!!! I always thought trying to be a good Christian, was about empathy for other's suffering and not about judging others and putting them down. Over the years, I too have come to really not claim any subsect of Christianity. If I had to catergorize myself, I would maybe say that I was Christian w/Buddhist tendencies. I refuse to think that only members of a certain religion get to go to heaven after they die... and everyone else from other religions, though they may have lived the life of a saint, go to hell. I love God and talk to him every day, but when I used to go to church, it always seemed like more of a fashion show and rumor mill, more than place where you thank God for all that you are greatful for. I really don't run into many people with my same view though... I've seen many friends blindly controlled by other church members because they refuse to use their own heads. I also never thought that you needed a go-between (priests, ministers, etc) to talk to God, especially when they are not perfect themselves. Please don't get me wrong, once again... I do LOVE GOD and I am eternally greatful for him sending his angels to watch over me and I will always worship him and thank him for everything... I just refuse to worship and obey church members and the non-sensical rules they make to control people's lives.

Answer 5

Well, I'm a Christian and I believe that Jesus is my savior. But I also believe that everyone has a choice, you can believe in anything so I respect other religions and atheists. Some Christians aren't like this though, they try to argue about it and try to convince them that Jesus is the savior. All Religions have respect for each other..that's how it should be.

Answer 6

Firstly, I don't see how you don't think you have taken to any religion when you are obviously Christian.

Secondly, I being an atheist, mostly am interested in engaging in an exchange of ideas and sometimes, a lively debate with people who have beliefs differing from my own. I can agree to disagree just fine. I may get hostile when someone talks down to me though. Or to atheists in general.

Answer 7

Yes we are supposed to simply state the truth and move on, not debate or argue it. Just state it.

Agreed.

We should try to be an example, however we all deserve forgiveness, we all have bad days and we need to move on with a better sense of what we are here for. Agreed!

Everyone needs reminding now and then

Answer 8

maximum concept fits in the understanding hollow that technological know-how hasn't yet uncovered, and has had to combat difficult to sidestep relinquishing "possession" of the understanding of those gaps. A well-liked occasion became the Galileo affair, the place faith tried to hold onto geocentrism to sidestep heliocentrism, and a matching modern one is the reluctance to settle for evolution concept on a similar time as a technique, if not each and every element. assume different gaps to be fought for too, nevertheless i think the emotional reaction to the project of guy being in simple terms yet another species will finally end up to have been the tightest grip slowly prised open.

Answer 9

Religion is a really hot button topic. People's religious beliefs are usually very close to their core being, and as such they tend to get quite passionate (no pun intended) about it. I think agnostics or atheist get offended when we are told that we are evil or going to hell or whatever because their beliefs differ from others, and again, as such, tend to want to defend themselves. As for me, I like to antagonize and get people to really question and think about what they claim to believe. I hate when someone claims to be a follower of something, but have never even bothered to study anything about it. I just like stirring that kind of thinking, then sitting back to watch the mayhem. It amuses me.

Answer 10

No, God did not say "Don't judge." He says we will be judged AS we judge, ie. whether we show mercy & understanding. He also says we are to call evil what it is - evil. Yes, the final judgement will be His, but as Christians, we have to make character judgements in regards to our family, friends, & associates.

I will stop short of calling Athiest & other nonbelievers "evil." But I, for one, will not stop trying to lead a life that is pleasing to my King, nor will I stop raising my children to revere Him & submit to His admonition.

Necessarily, this stance puts me at odds with many nonbelievers; then I defend my faith. Doing so generally brings about discussions, often heated, that center on morals & values. More often than not, my beliefs are in direct contradiction to nonbelievers' beliefs. The main things I have to keep in mind are 1) nonbelievers are not attacking me (usually), but God, & 2) nonbelievers cannot understand issues that are spiritually discerned, as they don't have the help of the Holy Spirit.

I "judge" by choosing not to be unequally yoked with nonbelievers in my personal or professional life. I "judge" by not allowing a nonbeliever to teach my children that some things are acceptable, when God says they are not. I "judge" by explaining God's plan of salvation. Most Christians "judge," but not in the way nonbelievers assume.
