Many Christians care whether people are saved but do they consider whether their belief is true or not?

Answer 1

If a person is convinced of their beliefs they won't consider the truth of their belief system. They'll care to spread the news.

Answer 2

I've done my own homework. I doubted Wicca bc I couldn't make the spells work. I didn't like Atheism bc it required so much conviction that I don't have that kind of ability to keep denying in the face of any evidence. I did like Agnostic beliefs which view an ultimate reality as unknowable. But it left out why that u.r. would elect to make a universe. I was uncomfortable with Nichiren Shoshu bc I felt the chanting to one million was instilling personal wealth as a prime trait of the practice. I didn't feel comfortable in a Jewish or Muslim temple bc I didn't see myself represented. I'm Hispanic and light skinned. (Not that race was the issue ever.) I wasn't ready to give up the possibility of Jesus being the Messiah. I was afraid of Islam bc the Qur'an is so Anti-Christian and Anti-Semitic that I almost choked from disgust. I didn't like the structure of the Catholic faith with a head figure that politically visible. I grew up Episcopalian, but after 14 I wasn't forced to attend. I didn't like their structure either. They have a large cross with an image of the Son graven. It made me think of the 2 C which commands to have no graven images of things in Heaven or under the sea. I have gone to different sects of Christianity, like Mormon, to get a full perspective. I don't feel Mormons are guided by the Holy Spirit. I believe they love the Lord with all their might. I don't subscribe to evolution in a loose understanding. Survival thru different changes within a species is seen regularly. For example, the bugs that return after several treatments of pesticide. Changes from as far back as Genera or Order, do not have the smell of science. Jumping across should involve more energy than living creatures can withstand. Or I'm really not seeing a mechanism. The higher the level, the more fictitious.

Answer 3

At what point do you think we all become christians...at birth? So that we go through life and never question but "blindly" accept the faith system we follow. Maybe some do...I'm sure there are maybe many...but not all of us sit back and allow it all in without filtering and discovering and finding out. I've been studying the Bible at length and in depth for the last 11 years on my own to make certain that I didn't leave myself open to a mass of lies and twisting of scripture and etc. I've found more truth that what the Christian faith teaches in the Bible than even Christians and most denominations teach so in a way what you are saying is true. Do christians consider whether what they are believing is true or not. Well, as a matter of fact...maybe not...these things that the Christian faith teaches from the Bible are not true...


Sunday sacredness over sabbath (this is a major Bible prophecy fulfilled)

immediate dispensation to heaven or hell (no one goes anywhere until the day of Judgement - when you die you are dead.)

a literal hell and heaven (heaven is literal place - space. Hell means the grave, death, literally "sheol" to be covered over)

eternal torment for the lost (not supported - destruction of all things not of God will be the order of the day)

immortality of the soul (there is no such thing - we are alive through God's divine breath..when we die, we're dead)

once saved always saved (yeah..if you are really saved to begin with)

baptism as membership (can't begin to go here...not enough space)

communion - "the Lords supper" (blood/wine and scripture/bread)

the divinity of Christ (yes, He is God)

There are so many false doctrine handed down by the Catholic Church that many Christians aren't reading their Bibles and seeking the truth for themselves. They are having their ears tickled by pastors/preachers who modivational speak about getting along with co-workers, how to live debt free and let go of anger when they should be preaching about the commandments of God, promoting self study of the scriptures, devoting to a life of prayer and seeing to the needs of others. So yeah, Christians care whether people are saved or not..but they are failing to check their own understanding of what that means. You grow up your whole life being taught a certain set of beliefs only to have them rumpled up and thrown in your face...yet that is what happened to me and it made me see that I was being hand fed tiny tidbits of truth mixed with lies and being satisfied with that when I should have been feasting on scripture to the point of gluttony. Now that I have done just that I have no problems with doubt or incredulity. My only problem now is how do I get other people to see this? Love in Christ, ~J~

Answer 4

Definitely. I am always querying my religion, and other religions too. I am not blind to its flaws or its positive aspects either. I don't really care whether others are saved or not (perhaps I should), because common sense dictates that most people know what's out there in terms of religion, and it's up to them to make their own choices.

I don't like it when something is rammed down my throat, so I make a point of not doing it to others.

Answer 5

Yeah. Just like you probably considered that a God might be real at some point in your life. It is nature to ask the "What if..." question. Everybody ponders what life would be like on the "other side".

Answer 6

most christians will say they don't need proof. i wish i would've been like that from the get-go, but i wasn't. however, because i've spent such a massive amount of time researching the validity and authenticity of the bible (the synoptic gospels, in particular), it would take quite a lot to shake my faith. i've found that the synoptic gospels are the most well-documented and reliable writings of any ancient text in the world, and that helps me to help others who are having problems with losing faith as well.

Answer 7

the deed follows the thought. we believe in God and the power of the crosss, therefore we take the good news to the world.

each person decides for himself where he will stand...

Answer 8

isnt the fact that they care so much for others and their destination a good sign that their belief is true and comes
from a good source?

Answer 9

I respect all other religions.It is not up to me to judge the validity of other religions.

Answer 10

Of course.
