Do you get your panties in a wad when someone says they don't like Jesus, Pope, Mohammed, Zeus, Jehovah?

Question

Do you feel it is a duty to report that person in order to defend your faith?

Do you need to get a real life and leave Yahoo to the free speech forum it was intended to be?

Will this question last longer than 5 minutes?

Answer 1

I think some people feel attacked when you say you don't like their God. It's like when you were in 1st grade and the kid sitting next to you in class said that your mom was ugly. You would get all upset and tell the teacher. It's the same thing, but "grown-up".

Answer 2

Um, the question seems rather bitter and more like a rant. I personally don't see a need to report it, but it probably will be reported and might get removed. I personally mostly only report filthy questions, answers, comments. Or ones that are against the rules AND contain clear lies.

I have no problem with someone not agreeing with my beliefs. I just expect the same respect for my beliefs that I show them, well I don't expect it, but would like it.

Answer 3

I don't, but as stated before that is a loaded question. There are so many different religions and beliefs, plus there are some who think their religion is the mightiest. That is where the conflict lies.
Mostly I would have to say that most of the arguments come from "ignorance". Some refuse to see beyond their beliefs.

Answer 4

Not really, i'm a catholic. and if someone tells me they don't like Jesus, its no biggy to me, but then you get others who spend like 20 mins, trying to articulate one sentence in which they can cram as much obscenity as possible, which THEY FEEL will cause some believer to have a near heart attack at their own little verbal bile... That to me is just a sad individual. I have no feelings either way towards them

Answer 5

I don't get offended at all. I honestly don't care what you believe in. I got my own beliefs just like the next person.

I think it's pretty childish if people are reporting others becaucse they don't have the same beliefs..GROW UP DAMMIT!!!!

Answer 6

I'm not wearing any panties

Answer 7

I am

Answer 8

No, no, no, yes.

Of course, the bible does mention that a certain kind of person would disrespect the divine name Jehovah.

(Psalm 74:18) The enemy himself has reproached, O Jehovah, And a senseless people have treated your name with disrespect.


The bible also teaches what would happen to those who refuse to use and honor the name of Jehovah.

(Malachi 2:2) If you will not lay it to heart to give glory to my name," Jehovah of armies has said, "I shall also certainly send upon you the curse

(Psalm 83:16-18) Fill their faces with dishonor, That people may search for your name, O Jehovah. 17 O may they be ashamed and be disturbed for all times, And may they become abashed and perish; 18 That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth.

(Isaiah 52:5,6) The utterance of Jehovah, "and constantly, all day long, my name was being treated with disrespect. 6 For that reason my people will know my name


According to the bible, what must ALL people do with regard to Jehovah's name?

(Psalm 29:2) Ascribe to Jehovah the glory of his name.

(Psalm 86:8-9) There is none like you among the gods, O Jehovah, Neither are there any works like yours. 9 All the nations whom you have made will themselves come, And they will bow down before you, O Jehovah, And will give glory to your name.


The bible also teaches that there are real benefits for those who appropriately use the name Jehovah.

(Romans 10:13) Everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved

(Acts 2:21) And everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved.

(Joel 2:32) And it must occur that everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will get away safe

(Malachi 3:16) And a book of remembrance began to be written up before him for those in fear of Jehovah and for those thinking upon his name.

(Nehemiah 1:11) Jehovah, please, let your ear become attentive to the prayer of your servant and to the prayer of your servants who take delight in fearing your name


Who can reasonably be called "a people for Jehovah's name"? What does the bible say about this people?

(Isaiah 43:12) There was among you no strange god. So you are my witnesses," is the utterance of Jehovah, "and I am God.

(Zephaniah 3:9) I shall give to peoples the change to a pure language, in order for them all to call upon the name of Jehovah, in order to serve him shoulder to shoulder.

(Micah 4:5) For all the peoples, for their part, will walk each one in the name of its god; but we, for our part, shall walk in the name of Jehovah our God to time indefinite, even forever.

(Isaiah 52:5-7) The utterance of Jehovah, "and constantly, all day long, my name was being treated with disrespect. 6 For that reason my people will know my name... 7 How comely upon the mountains are the feet of the one bringing good news, the one publishing peace, the one bringing good news of something better, the one publishing salvation

(Malachi 1:11) For from the sun’s rising even to its setting my name will be great among the nations, and in every place sacrificial smoke will be made, a presentation will be made to my name, even a clean gift; because my name will be great among the nations," Jehovah of armies has said.


Here are some additional Scriptures that mention God's personal name. There are THOUSANDS MORE. Do any of these seem to imply that the name "Jehovah" is unimportant?

(Psalm 148:13) Let them praise the name of Jehovah, For his name alone is unreachably high.
(Micah 5:4) He will certainly stand and do shepherding in the strength of Jehovah, in the superiority of the name of Jehovah his God
