Aare you threatened by Christianity?

Question

I hate when people say the only proof of God I have is the bible. Don't tell me what I know. There are things that prove God's existence that an atheist would not understand. Why do people need physical evidence, doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of faith. Could it be that If your stuck in sin, your the weak one, but it takes a special strength to go against the worldly ways and stick to your faith? Like walking away from a fight doesn't make you weak, anyone can pick a fight but it takes strength to go against your emotions. It's the same thing.
Is it a coincidence that if I talk about Jesus, i get insulted?
In the Bible, Jesus said, as he was persecuted in body, we will be persecuted in his name. How do people use science against God if he created science in the first place? That's like if I give you a gun as a gift, and you shoot me with it. God could look at us as we look at ants, not important, but he doesn't. Everybody wants to be somebody but we forget, we're human.

Do you guys even read the question before you answer?
Notice what I'm saying, all the people who go against God with their answers get thumbs up. It must be a huge coincidence that it says that in the Bible that if your for Jesus, the world will hate you. That's why I say it's me against the world. I hate no one but love everyone, and I always respect people's condone, but The Bible has too many "coincidences" about the world today to be ignored. Who has that much time on their hands to write a fake bible? I mean who has a few hundred years to spare to lie about all those miracles of Jesus and predict the future that is our generation. Understand what I'm saying, If the bible is not real, somebody had to be really old and really smart to write it. O'h maybee all those prophets said" lets all get together and write fake stories to help people in the future live right". Don't ignore what is right in front of you. Going against God is more dangerouse than you could ever, ever imagine!

Answer 1

I am a christian...

The Holy Bible is the only pure word of God KJV 1611
That is the guide for Christianity

Answer 2

Should we fear Christianity? Yes and no. Depends. Much of what is called Christianity is a hoax. Many things are done in the name of Christianity which Christ does not condone, like when those who call themselves His followers not only express opinions, but they manipulate campaigns, they mold politics, and shape the whole political course of the government and thus violate the first, the last, and every principle that is involved in being a Christian. Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world."

God has people in this world. He has interests in this world. His people have interests in this world. That is true. Therefore God has ambassadors in this world (2 Cor.5:20) but they are here to attend to the affairs of the Kingdom of God and not at all to any affairs of the kingdoms of this world. And the ambassador for Jesus Christ that goes over the line, and undertakes to attend to the affairs of this world, abandons his own government, breaks his allegiance to his own King, and unlawfully and illegally invades the province of another government. That is why the wickedness of this thing is so great; that is why it made the papacy in the first place; that is why the violation of these principles in the US will make the image of the papacy in the second place.

If these principles had been followed always by all who name the name of Christ, it would have been impossible for there ever to have been a papacy in the world; and if the principles were followed by Protestantism from the day Luther sounded the trumpet of God until now, and should continue so, it would be impossible for there ever be such a thing as making an image to the papacy in the United States of America as it is prophesied will happen in these last days according to chapter 13 of the book of Revelation.

This is the "christianity" that is to be feared and shun, don't u think?

Answer 3

"...it takes a special strength to go against the worldly ways and stick to your faith."

That sounds like pride. I thought that, to christians, pride is a "sin."

In any event, in order to *know* something, one must have evidence. Subjective experiences do not constitute evidence. Using your criteria, anything that anyone *thinks* is true *must* be true merely because they *think* it is.

This is where "faith" comes in. Faith is belief without evidence, or despite evidence to the contrary. There is no way that anyone with even a shred of intellectual honesty can defend "faith" because it's anti-intellectual.

"Sin" is a religious concept with no basis in reality. It's a scare tactic employed to control people. "God" didn't create science or anything else. Humans created gods -- all of them -- to explain what they didn't understand.

There is no evidence for a historical Jesus, man or god-man. In fact, Jesus' attributes were "borrowed" from older god-man myths. If facts insult you, you must feel insulted every minute of every day.

It's obvious that you have no idea what constitutes proof if you think that you have proof that any god exists. You can *know* that cars exist, but you can only *think* that a god exists.

Nothing real requires faith.

Answer 4

You say you get insulted but when you say things like "There are things that prove God's existence that an atheist would not understand" that is pretty insulting to atheists. The majority of atheists were raised to believe in God and know what it's like to have faith. You apparently have no idea how ridiculous and bizarre the things you say sound to people like us who have spent a long time thinking and considering what we've been told and found it doesn't make any sense.

If people could just keep their faith to themselves and not impose it on anyone else there really would be no need for anyone to insult anyone.

Answer 5

I am not threatened by anyone practicing their religion harmlessly & voluntarily.

It's only when they want to use the gov't to force public school children to pray or study the bible devotionally, or give special perks to Christians. (such as letting Christian vacation camps advertise through the public schools, but not Unitarians or athiests -- yes that happened)

I also don't like tax money going to churches to evangelise, and pretending that preaching at a drug addict is a "social service".

I also don't like divorce judges dictating to parents which religion to raise their child. (A Wiccan divorcing couple was ORDERED by a judge to not expose their child to Wicca. Both parents were Wiccan and did NOT ask the judge to interfere in their child's religious upbrining)

As long as they don't use the government to give special priviledges to Christians, and to deny basic civil rights to non-Christians, or to ram Christianity down everyone's throats, I have no problem with Christianity.

Answer 6

No, but what threatens me is hatred and intolerance, of the kind that some of the people who answered you displayed.

Don't pay any attention to them. ; )

Edit: To Matt, scholars agree that Jesus is a historical person. Stop calling him a myth, you're deceiving yourself.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_Jesus#Scholarly_methods:_Historical_criteria_applicable_to_the_life_of_Jesus

Again to Matt: This is not from Wikipedia: Most scholars believe that a real, flesh and blood Jewish peasant whom we call Jesus lived and taught in first-century Galilee. What they disagree on is what this man was like. After his crucifixion this Jewish rabbi and teacher is spoken of by his followers as "Lord" and as someone who has transcended the grave to become a spiritual figure. This transcendence or resurrection is called the Easter event. The quest for the historical Jesus involves an attempt to separate the pre-Easter historical figure of Jesus from the post-Easter Christ of faith.

Sorry, Don!

Answer 7

Awwww....poor, persecuted member of the majority religion! Quit crying about it. Just because your mythical jesus story was one of martyrdom doesn't mean you have to continue that tradition.

Amelie, your "scholars" only piece of evidence outside the bible were the writings of Flavius Josephus. It's recently been shown that the ONE paragraph in Antiquities of the Jews that mentions jesus was a medeival forgery. Quit relying on Wikipedia as your definitive source of info...it's more flawed than your bible.

Answer 8

I am a Christian, and Im not threatened by it, I love the Lord and Jesus is coming back for us one day! We are promised an easy life, but are promised a safe landing in Heaven giving our hearts to God!!

Answer 9

If I had been a native person in the Americas a few hundred years ago, or a scientist in Europe, I would have had good reason to fear Christians. Now I can only laugh at their abominable ignorance.

Answer 10

Amen

When God's word is preserved and retained it gains power. If God's word is followed as it is stated in the bible, then you will see it manifest.

Signs and miracles will follow for those who believe.
