Intelligent into..I respect your point of view & no offence taken , I like people with a sence of humor.

Mooney ...I wish you where right but there are deliberate offencive question and answers on Y&S.

Answer 1

1. YES
2.Yes ,and that's a study in itself.
3.They are not to blame,seriously ,The Bible and Jesus in his short period on earth as a human spoke to angels and humans demonstrated a no need policy to be offended what people do,and say.He was well aware that they were as the Bible quotes that the god of this earth(SATIN) has blinded the minds of the people in his earthly domain.He mentioned perhaps more than once how even the Isralites were thrown about like sheep without a sheppard he felt pity for them .( they at that time were still under Jewish rule/leadership and a special people)
4.NO, its not right to get angry with them ,and it can be tempting,--ie--a child barely able to talk,walks up to U and says my daddy say -xaxasxxxzx do U have a right to get angry at the child.

Answer 2

I don't think it's right to get angry with angry people who question us.

I think some people get angry because a lot of the "questions" aren't really questions. They're insults or provocations or mini-sermons in the form of questions.

And acourse believers do this to non-believers all the time too.

I just don't think it's a very good Christian example. We're supposed to be out here loving everybody, not just the people who have the same beliefs we do.

If you think there's a truth that somebody else needs to hear, say it in love and leave the "you'll burn in hell" and brimstone language out of it. That only closes people's heart further than they're already closed.

Answer 3

Every situation is different. Paul told a group of false teachers to castrate themselves. Jesus said that those who reject Him will likewise perish. Peter said if the believing are barely saved, what is the end of the unbelieving?

Are those "angry hate" statements. To someone that's not a believer, who makes up "truth" as they go along, perhaps. But in truth, no. They're loving statements that warn of impending eternal hell.

Answer 4

I don't feel angry towards people who make fun of me here (i say here because no one in life makes fun of my faith only here) just kinda sad for them. One they must feel insecure to make fun of anyone and two their knowledge on said faiths is usually sadly lacking. God also teaches and eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. God is the one to judge them and he will so why should i raise my temperature over ignorance? I dont.

Answer 5

There is righteous anger. Of course the incident you speak of would not merit righteous anger. The bible says to "Be angry and sin not" Also it says do not to let the sun set on your anger. In other words, if you have hurt someone, make amends before it's too late.

Answer 6

We dont have anger at the person, we have anger for the spirit that is behind their behaviour. We can only pray for them, do our best to tell them of Gods plan for them, point them to the Holy Bible and encourage them, but we hate the sin as much as GOd does. tho we still continue to love the sinner.
Righteous indignation is ok sometimes, but we stand and speak it lovingly and boldly still. Yet we dont attack the person, we can only attack the belief We pray and leave them to God, whose power is mighty. Amen Yes GOd is love. Even those that end up in hell, do so by choice. God warns us thru His word and thru prophets who will speak truth. God always sends warning before He sends destruction. They reject Christ, and the Bible tells them hell awaits them, and they pick it anyhow. God must end all sin to protect those of us that are really His. What would He do with them, let them come to Hell with us, and destroy it there like they do here? I dont think so. common sense says different.
So when one goes to hell, it is by choice to not receive or obey the Lord. Yes God is love, He only wants to save and protect us all from the sins of the devil. Buts it is all precious choice. amen again. To God be the glory.

Answer 7

Nope, now where's that other cheek?

*winds up*


I imagine few humans have the capacity to truly live their lives as Christ directed. Which would explain why not many are taken to seriously spouting their pious remarks.

No offense intended, it was an attempt at humor. (It doesn't mean everyone will find it funny.)

Answer 8

Yes He is.
Yes he did.
No, but we are human & sinful.
Some of us are newer to the whole Godly life, lifestyle.
And its easy to fall into a trap of Satan's or our own willfull, sinful tendencies.
For some ppl its even harder to apoligize,
to the person... admit ur mistake, error.
Besides; God will answer them, in His time.
And they are Not gonna like the answer
they receive from Him!!!

Answer 9

No. Jesus did not get angry at other people, so we shouldn't be angry with them either. If people don't like us, there is nothing we can do about it. They will be destroyed at Armageddon.

Answer 10

In general ignore them

If they demand they be able to play Russian Rowllet with their soul;then let them.
