Simply bash, do you think of them as Christians?

No, CJ - I would not have called Jesus a basher. He is nothing like you. Try again.

Poor CJ - you still don't get it. Another Hail Mary for you going up... :)

I have never called myself a minister or a pastor, CJ - bearing false witness again, dear one?
2007-10-31 08:13:47 · update #3
LKeri - I agree

teehee, CJ erm i mean "Chris" made an interesting statement,
in the first sentence he says "[bashing] is a satanic tactic used to shut people up to things you don't agree with"
then in the details he implys you bash people! in fact, you're a "viper"
to answer your question, i think much less of them, not so much as Christians, just as people. it's like "are you 12? grow up" saying the same thing for every answer makes you sound like a brainless dolt.
As Christians, i can't imagine how they can justify it. Jesus hung out with lepers, tax collectors, and prostitutes, the bottom wrung of society. The only time He spoke against people were the self-righteous pharisees who thought they were better than everyone

Define the "Other Christians" since I may be one. I am non-denominational-is that an "Other Christians" category? I do believe in Jesus and God and the Holy Spirit. I just don't believe that there is one wrong and one right way for persons to worship God-or one wrong and one right place or time.
And that there are some wrong and some right singular ways to interpret the Bible. What some consider literal I may consider symbolic and vice versa. So tell me please...am I the "Other Christians" of which you speak? Should I be tarred and feathered as a heretic? I do not bash anyone-I do state my views.
I agree with the poster below me about who Jesus hung with and who he criticized.
I also consider "Hell" symbolic. Is the tar and feathers ready yet?

All Christians are hypocrites and will never live up to God's perfect expectations. The non-believers faith/opinion/belief should not come from Christians, but from God's Word, the Bible. The Bible is a perfect reflection of truth, not Christians, nor Churches. Christianity is based on the Bible, not men. Christians do their best (some don't, and therefore are only self-proclaimed) to obey God's commands. The punishment for sin is the more you sin, the more you become vulnerable to lead a sinful life, pushing yourself further and further away from God, until you become blind to the truth of everything that isn't sin. The further you are away from God, the further you'll be when God's truth speaks out. Don't follow Jesus' follower's examples. Follow Jesus' example and study the Bible.

Well, that is not Christian behavior. We are supposed to be Christ-like, and Jesus never "bashed" anyone. He loves us all. That is how we should be if we claim to be Christians. I don't feel that anyone should ever shove their beliefs down someone else's throat by bashing them or any other way. I am a Christian, but I can tell you that I know that God is not a beggar = people have to come to Him by their own choice, not because they were bashed into it, or scared into it.

Christian behavior reflects the Beatitudes
Christian is as Christian does.
As important as right belief is living the Nicene Creed ,which is crucial to being Christian,must accompany belief if one is to claim saving faith.
Refusing to consider that God's grace is greater than the limits i set (like the spiritual braggart and condemning yet self-centered judge in the Lucan Pharisee and Publican parable)

No, I do not.
If one truly had the intentions of introducing others to Jesus, they would find more effective ways to do so than just whacking people over the head with their beliefs.
Judgemental people tick me off, whether they believe in God or not.

they might be christians but they arent acting like they sorta should, i mean everyone deserves to be treated with respect and that isnt how they are behaving, so i think its a bit hypocritical. it would be a total lie for me to say i have never insulted someone but the main point in this site is to help people not take the piss

What Primoa said
Truthfully, I think most of the bashers are trolls, the rest are just immature.

Christians should not bash.
However, they are human and sometimes give into their weaker side. Doesn't make them an instant atheist, just means they're sinning.
