A question for Christians.?

Question

hypotheticlaly, how would you react if you talked to someone online, who insisted they were your variety of christianity(whatever that is)

this sounds fine, until they explain they also belive Jesus's miracles came from the devil, that his power came not from God, but from Evil.

that no matter how you explained that someone who belives that jesus's power was from the devil, could not really be christian, they stubbornly insisted that they were your type of christian and they belived that. and they were telling people that they were compatible.

how would you react? how would you feel? to see people teach that. to take people away from your church with these fundamentally contrary and destructive beliefs, insisting that they don't have to lose their previous beliefs.... when really it is betraying everything they belived in, to accept the other things...

I'm also curious how many people will catch on to what I'm analogizing to.

beliving as they want is one thing. but what about if they prey on the people of your beliefs that are for whatever reason, isolated and weak?

Dulos, the "problem" is when they deceive people deliberately.

pangleos, but what about when they harm your group with their deceptions? isn't that a bit different?

I find it interesting how passive people would be willing to be when people of their group were under attack like that. or maybe I didn't make it clear.

and for spelling and grammar... meh. its not THAT bad.

basically I'm roughly analoging to the Evangelical Christain Church's continued assault against Judaism, in the form of the deceitful "Jews for Jesus" and "Messianic Jewish" movements.

remember, just as theres no such thing as a christian who belives jesus's powers came from the devil, there is no such thing as a jewish person who belives jesus was the messiah, or belives in the trinity.

Answer 1

I don't think anyone understood who you're talking about. Christians will never understand the complexities of Judaism. All we can do is to make sure they understand that "Jews-for-Jesus" and "Messianic Jews" teach the Christian version of Judaism, not Judaism itself. They don't understand *why* Jesus is redundant to Judaism.

Maybe we should emphasize that the only reason they call themselves "Jews" in the first place is to deceive secular Jews. No Jew that understands anything at all about Judaism would see a need for "salvation." The messiah has nothing to do with salvation.

Answer 2

You ask how people who are Christian would react, and that seems fairly obvious. I believe you are referring to the the Luciferian religion. They believe that God is Lucifer and that Jesus was given powers from Lucifer, Am I right? Everything that Christians believe is similar, but all the rolls are reversed. If I am correct why are you being so coy about it? Why is everyone who posted before who act as though they know who the original poster is "analogizing" not stating so? It is not a big secret Satanism has been around for a long time. This is actually a very interesting subject, and people who like to research different religions might find their dogma a good read. I personally have a relationship with God and consider myself a Christian. I am not bothered by people's beliefs. I would actually enjoy discussing the theory's of a Luficerians beliefs versus mine..........

Answer 3

There are so many beliefs out there today.For any information I get from somebody I always pray in my room to seriously listen to the answer of God about that.And if the person is open enough I just send him back to pray too. I never stop to discuss assertments about God with anybody. Remember Satan too know the Bible and will do everything to take you away from the true path. Satan likes discussions, a lot of noise to try to convince. But God is patient and love.

Answer 4

I would think and tell the others in the group that the end time is at hand. Even the elect would be seduced and deceived from their positions of belief in faith.

In your comments you said you were eluding to Jewish, They believe in Christianity?

Answer 5

Let me guess, you're making an analogy to a certain major religion. Here's the difference... Real Christians tend to denounce that kind of perverted belief system.

Are they (those of that other particular religion) denouncing the bretheren that pervert theirs?

Answer 6

I would choose not to speak to that person anymore and then I would keep them in my prayers. As for what they are teaching other people, yes that is partly on their shoulders but it is partly on the other persons shoulders too. You can't just go to church, listen to the priest (pastor, minister, etc.), and take everything you hear at face value. It's your job as a Christian to search things out for yourself. You have to read the Bible and find your own answers, you can't just believe everything that everyone tells you. So, I would feel bad for that person, not talk to them...because it would upset me everytime they brought it up, and keep them in my prayers that they would find true answers and not keep those lies in their heart.

Answer 7

Analogizing? Guess you are not an English major.

By sharing the gospel with another person, I am doing the bidding of God. HOWEVER that person may take that message is entirely out of my control.

Answer 8

I do not know which religion you speak of, but I am curious.

What I do know is that to give credit to the devil for the miracles of Christ is to blaspheme the Holy Spirit. This is the one and only unforgivable sin.

Answer 9

hypothetically,

my reaction would either be
a) bewilderment: "is this person really this confused?"
b) annoyed: "moron"
c) checking to see if they were possessed or insane
d) not taking them seriously

I'd likely feel
a) worried: "this person tells people this garbage?"
b) vexated: "morons like him/her give us a bad name"
c) perplexed: "gosh darn it! how can he/she conclude that?"
d) jovial: "okay, you can stop now.... it's kinda creepy"

as for the analogies, if you're referring to the variety of definitions of "core beliefs" within the Christian faith or have tried to satirize different ideologies within a sect, I get it. otherwise, I don't.

Answer 10

It wouldn't really matter to me because I do not try to sway people away from their religions. My path is not based on bashing other people's faiths. They can believe whatever they want. However, they are not welcome to force their beliefs on me. I afford them the same courtesy.
