What do you think about christianity and Jesus Christ?

Question

Do you think it's good or bad? Because I'm a christian and I want to know how people looks at my religion now

Answer 1

Christianity is wonderful. Following Jesus's command to us love is always the best way to live, hands down.

But fundamentalism, as pseudo-christianity, is bad. It perverts Jesus's word into an excuse to hate and exclude.

Answer 2

Of course christians will answer "it is good" and others will answer "it is bad"

In being a christian you wouldn't care about how others see it as good or bad. Christians, along with other religious groups, has always been persecuted and even hated. Don't see how people look at your religion or care what others think of it. If you believe in it then live/trust in Jesus Christ.

Answer 3

I've known some Christians (like my grandmother) who are among the nicest, most decent people you will ever meet.

I've met many more Christians who are decent enough, but tend to cling to certain social views I consider to be narrow-minded. On their own, I see no harm, but mobilized into voting blocks, I see these little negatives multiplied.

I've also known a significant number of Christians who use their path to claim privilege, judge others, demonize anyone who is different from them, and be generally annoying people. I realize they do not constitute a majority, but they tend to be the most vocal, in in some matters they seem to con other Christians into going along with them.

I think Christianity as an entity has a pretty bad track record of hate crimes, mass-murder, persecution and even genocide, but I do not blame today's Christians for that. While there are good things in Christianity's history, I do not believe in glossing over the past, especially when some elements of today's Christians do admire some of the unsavory tactics of the past.

I believe Jesus existed, and was probably a quite inspirational teacher and leader. I also believe those who came after him undoubtedly edited and changed things for their own ends.

In short, I do respect Christians who mean well and contribute positively to today's world, but I do not respect those who demonize others, who try to inflict their ways upon the rest of us, or who are generally bad people by any other measure.

Answer 4

True christianity is awesome. Accepting Jesus as your savior, living a life according to his teachings and commandments of love God with your whole being and love your neighbor as yourself. Christianity is NOT a certain religion. Religion is man made rules, rituals, and regulations on how to worship God. Christianity is freedom in Christ. I love Jesus with my whole heart.

Jesus said, " I am the way, the truth, and the life - no man cometh unto the father (God) but by me."

Answer 5

I think if we did what Jesus said and not the Christians, we would be fine. It would be good.
But the old Fundy Christians I do not trust. They use Gods word to control.

Just follow Jesus and you're a Christian

Answer 6

I have nothing against Christians. It's when Christians groups start trying to force their beliefs on me through laws that I become irritated.

Jesus, as far as I know, may or many not have existed 2000 years ago. If he did, I don't believe he was anything other than a normal human with a few radical ideas.

Answer 7

I appreciate the original moral teachings of Jesus, but I have little use for what Paul and his followers did to them, or how many of Jesus' followers today choose to turn them into a weapon of judgment and divisiveness.

Do a search on "Jefferson Bible." That's pretty much where I stand.

As for the people who misrepresent Jesus, I think Gandhi summed it up pretty well:

"I like your Christ.
I do not like your Christians.
They are so unlike your Christ."

Answer 8

Christianity in its purest form is beautiful.

The Christianity that people know about may not be all that beautiful because a lot of un-Christian ideas and intolerance crept into its belief system. There is no support for such beliefs in the Bible.

Answer 9

I think its the best.. no other Religion offers eternal life. no other Religion offers anything ... People says our religions not real but if its not real and God isn't real explain to me how people can feel the presents of the Holy Ghost ...so in my opinion Christianity it the only real religion..

Praise Jesus

Answer 10

I think Christianity has done a lot of stupid things in its history...and a lot of cruel things, too. You can't really deny that. People have skewed it to justify a number of evils.

Jesus Christ is cool with me. I wish more Christians would try to be like him.
