Because they are not secure enough in their faith to know that God, being all powerful, will not throw a fit if there are people who have various beliefs. They keep pointing to this part of the Bible which talks about their God being a jealous God. What the ? It's very interesting that Christians made God in their own image--unfortunately, it is in the image of all of the worst traits man has, including jealousy, wrath, judgment, and retribution.

Deeply ingrained intolerance.
Theirs is a "my way or no way" religion that permits of no deviation in interpretation or understanding. A bit like Stalinism, only with a higher death toll historically speaking.

I think you know by now it is not our way; it's God's way. And He says you must be born again to enter into Heaven. So sorry you don't believe this.

You don't HAVE to do anything anybody Else's way. GOD does not want you to come to HIM by force, but HE does want you to come to HIM by choice.
Some people just KNOW what they are talking about because they have experienced the forgiveness, what TRUE FREEDOM really means and feels like.
Most people do not believe, because they have not EXPERIENCED any of it.

You don't have to do it my way. But you MUST do it Gods way. He set the price for your sins high. His only son was the only payment he would accept. If you don't accept Jesus you will die in your sins and go to hell.

No worse than anyone else, thinking their beliefs alone are right. If they are not, why not believe something else?
When you rate my comments, Thumbs up means I'm right. Thumbs down means I'm right and in so being, I've pissed you off.

We don't. Everyone is to live according to God's instruction and teachings. But, don't take our word for it. Read the Bible for yourself.

Because they expect everyone to think like them and they are nosy.
