Why are some of the most spritual and religious people in this world....?

Question

the most opinionated, unforgiving and uncompasionate towards others, especially if others don't necessarily believe in everything they do? Is this not sort of hypocritcal?

oh, and can I add judgemental to the list??

OK, good point milkbone!!

Answer 1

I am compassionate towards others and forgiving. But I do hate sins against God. Do you not hate killing? stealing?

It is the sin that we hate.

Answer 2

Religious people, maybe. Spiritual people, not really. Honestly, I see judgment and hypocrisy in most all religions, but I also see a lot of disrespect and mockery from non-believers. I see a lot of unforgiving and uncompassionate among believers and non-believers as well. However, we all are opinionated, especially here, where we come solely for this specific motive which is give opinion.

Don't you think you are being judgmental yourself by categorizing spiritual and religious people like that? Especially "in this world" which I am sure you don't know not even 1/10 part of it.

Answer 3

Sunny, I am probably one of those people you think is judgmental. I do not judge , I do not think that I am holier than thou, I am not unforgiving or uncompassionate. I simply relate what the truth is as written in the inerrant word of God. If I tell you sugar coated truths to try and get you to believe then I am being unfaithful to my God. The simple hard truth is much better, so one knows exactly where he stands. Here is that simple hard truth Sunny.....

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 5:19-21

Now show me where I have judged anyone here. Show me where I have been uncompassionate, or unforgiving or hypocritical? Come to Christ

Answer 4

All sipritual persons are religious, and without religion no sprituality exists...Let this be clear to all thee....

And those who truely are spritual are a numbered lot..have been throughout the history...and they do not divulge themselves, rather they glow from inside..

And they exit in all the religions of the world and have been and will be...

And these traits you mention here are not attributing to them,
but rather to those who are fakes.

Answer 5

They might be religious but they are not spiritual.

being spiritual means manifesting the fruit of the spirit:

Gal 5:
22: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23: Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Answer 6

sunny: Your accusation is somewhat, paradoxical in, that a "spiritual" person is vastly dissimilar than a "religious" person. A true and genuine Christian is NOT "religious"; therefore, he nor she does not hold contempt for others, especially, for others, who "don't necessarily believe in everything they do". Both terms, "spiritual" and "religious' are incongruous.

Answer 7

Because they're self-righteous and they feel the need to force their beliefs onto everyone else because everyone else is "wrong!" But we're not all that way! Keep that thought in mind! :)

Answer 8

If you're a Filipino you will understand this...we call them, "Banal na aso, Santong kabayo".

Answer 9

Because they are human beings.

Answer 10

you ask an interesting question- how about i rephrase it for you---why are some of the worlds spiritual leaders not in government?
