Should I give up and break all ties with Christians? Why do people have to fight over who is right?

Question

I am wiccan and believe there is only one God. I know that weird but I like to be different.

I believe that My God is so powerful that he lets us worsip any way that we feel is right! My God is so secure that even the Athiest and Agnostic are allowed to do their own thing.

I've read the bible from cover to cover AND LEARNED the history behind this fascinating book.

I am so tired of these "Christians" tring to scare people into the way they believe. They seem to ignor the blood and the evil their kind has done in history. They take the bible as perfect truth until you use it to show them they may have misinterpreted it. Then they will say something like "Oh, well the bible was written by many men." If God is perfect and if he had a hand in writing the bible and guiding the men who desided what went into it then you can't discount even a word of it!

So many Christians just pick what they need out of the bible and are so narrow minded it drives me crazy.

I do not believe that everyone should be Wiccan. That in it's self would be against what I feel in my heart to be true.

I have met many wonderful Christians ones that I admire greatly.

I was just tiring to say: A person’s relationship with god is like a shoe store. You pick the shoes that fit you best and walk in them. Why keep tiring to make other people wear your shoes or the Atheist put shoes on?

Answer 1

never give up Zina... there is a huge difference between religion (a business, basically) and faith. Your faith makes you who you are, and you need not to worry about what others think...
Chinese say we are three things
1. what others think we are
2.what we think we are
3.what we truly are

you are a creature of this universe, just like we all are...
just keep being yourself... you can't do better than that...

World is like a huge bridge, cross it but do not build your home on it. One who has hope for one meaningful moment in life, shall have hope for eternity. The world exists for just one such moment, when you find it, spend it nobly and with the infinite in your heart. The rest is unknowable... no justice in this world, but:

If Death is kind, and there can be returning,
We will come back to earth some fragrant night,
And take these lanes to find the sea, and bending
Breathe the same honeysuckle, low and white.
We will come down at night to these resounding beaches
And the long gentle thunder of the sea,
Here for a single hour in the wide starlight
We shall be happy, for the dead are free.



I bow my head to you...

Answer 2

People fight about what is right... because they are intelligent people who realize there is no use believing in something incorrect.

Blood and evil "our kind" has done... Blood and evil has come from atheists, communists, Democrats, Republicans, ect. We don't try to ignore evil... we recognize evl has been done... by *everyone*, and that is because we are falliable humans.

Why does letting people worship Him however so powerful? Maybe he is so powerful that there is logic to His existence... as in, if religions obviously conflict in some manners, at least part of one of them is just wrong. It's the law of Contradictions.

Go talk to some Christian apologists or theologians, not random Christians off the streets. They don't know everything about the context of the Bible and Christian theology. And don't group all Christians. As idealic as it would be if we all agreed, it is also untrue.

And be careful about who you call "Christians" in quotation marks, as if you know what a real Christian is and they don't. Please...

By the way... yes, God is perfect and he inspired the people writing the Bible. But humans have human perspectives. For example, people think that, because in the Old Testament, people measured something and rounds pi to 3, that it means God thinks pi equals 3. Please. That is ridiculous and out of context. 3.14...ect rounds to 3.Or do skeptics think the writers think the writer of that Bible book should have gone of indefinately?

My bottom line is... truth is worth being fought over. It's not narrow minded to recognize that several things that contradict cannot all be correct. And if you recognize a lot of Christians are human and don't know everything, go find some Christian apologists who know a lot more. I hope this helps.

Answer 3

Christians believe in only one God too. God the Father. The Bible warns about worshiping things that God created. As a Wicca, I believe this is part of your religion. No sect, or religion is perfect, but has to be judged by all the good they have done. Let me ask you... If everyone were a Wicca, would the world be a better place than it is today? I think we both know the answer to that. God bless. : o )

Answer 4

You have some interesting and some true points in your question. First let me start by saying "Jesus Loves You", GOD had a son named Jesus and the only way to GOD is through his son. As the BIBLE says they only way to the father is through the son. The BIBLE also talks about witchcraft. This is just one scripture.
2 Chronicles 33:6
He sacrificed his sons in the fire in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, practiced sorcery, divination and witchcraft, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the eyes of the LORD, provoking him to anger.
2 Chronicles 33:5-7 (in Context) 2 Chronicles 33

I am sorry that people have harmed you but the truth is there are always going to be people out there that may claim to be Christian that are not practicing what the whole Bible teaches us. I think that is why Jesus tells us that the two most important commandments are TO LOVE THY GOD and TO LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF. GOD created heaven and Earth so I think it is good to appreciate the things that he has created but please do not get confused. GOD is in control and the moment you are able to ask him into your heart and repent for your sins then at that moment you will be able to see the light and receive the true BLESSINGS that he has in store for you.

May GOD Bless You,
I will pray for you!

Answer 5

If any person have been to damage into my condo, they would not get any extra than the entrance door if I have been in which I frequently am. My 9mm could give up them. If they got here in whilst I was once dozing, my 9mm could STILL give up them given that I've continuously been a mild sleeper, and my puppy could have ripped their throat out earlier than they would have got very a ways. I marvel why you might have this robust curiosity in having intercourse with a person? Do YOU do it oftten of your possess loose will? How many guys at a time do you are taking on? You fairly must give up doing the ones illicit medications. They're frying your mind.

Answer 6

I think you are taking the actions of a few self-styled "Christians" and then tarring ALL Christians with the same brush and it's just not honest to make sweeping generalisations like that.

You are right though about people cherry picking the Bible to manipulate what it says.

But I can't think of any religious book of any religion in which God can be worshipped any way that feels right to us. Surely if he is the creator of all things then he has the right to say how HE wants us to worship him?

Supposing the way that felt right to me was to sacrifice little babies or young maidens? Or to strap a bomb on me and go blow up some followers of other faiths? Would that be pleasing to your God and if it was how could you say he was the real God?

A god that has no rules is a god who doesn't care, a false god that we have invented to fit in with whatever we want and whatever seems right to us.

The God of the Old and New Testaments was very specific about how he wanted to be worshipped and he does allow even Atheists and Agnostics to do their own thing, but everybody will he held responsible for what we do.

Even the best of us is far from perfect. If you have even broken one moral Law (and we all have, myself included), then you have sinned against God and therefore will "surely die," for the "wages of sin is death."

We are all guilty of breaking the Commandments. Listen to the voice of your conscience, and let it remind you of some of the sins of the past.

We are not perfect as we are commanded to be (Matthew 5:48), neither is our heart pure. On Judgment Day our transgressions will be evidence of our shame.

Think of it: God has seen every sin we have ever committed. We share our thought-life with Him.

We are guilty of violating His Law a multitude of times, yet if we repent, God can forgive us because Jesus stepped into the courtroom 2.000 years ago and paid the fine for us.

His death on the cross satisfied the Law we so blatantly transgressed, and at the same time demonstrated how much God loves us—"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."

His shed blood on the cross can make you clean in the sight of a holy God...as though you have never sinned.

God doesn't want you to go to Hell.

But an all powerful God will never force you, he is secure enough to allow you to choose Hell if that is what you want and he is loving enough to have already paid your fine and taken your punishment if you choose to accept this gift and follow him.

Please, forget your arguments, repent and put your trust in Jesus and be saved from God's wrath.

Answer 7

World wide all religions are fighting for their religious life right now, because government has had a enough, and I give it religion twenty years tops, and the witch hunt will begin, and if there is a God he will be forced to show himself, or the blood bath will be beyond belief, I personally believe it will prove just how much religion has lied, and how much of it is a myth.

Answer 8

Relgion is responsible for their mentality of self-righteousness. If Jesus was here today, many of them won't be able to recognize him by their concept of him. Being open minded is a blessing and until they start looking at the big picture of life they will always be the way they are...ignorant to the reality that religion is a set up to keep us blinded & divided.

There are genuine people in all walks but keeping a professional distance from people who are not on your level is better for the soul.

Answer 9

A christian is to be christ like.you are right there is only one God,and the Bible is the word of God.written by man inspired by God.

Answer 10

The decision is yours. Members of religions that use books of revisionist history as a guide for acceptable human behavior are actually no more enlightened than you.
