Why do so many Christians seem to gloat over the fact that us non believers will roast in hell?

Question

I see it time and time again on these boards. People who actually seem happy that others will suffer for eternity. What is the deal with that? I do understand that not all of you do. Some of you seem like genuinely nice people.

ecterbob- see now you are one of the kind and sincere people.

Answer 1

I'm ashamed to say the thought of people who do things like raping children, murdering old people, and the like being punished has given me a sense of satisfaction at times, but certainly nobody else. And a real Christian should never, ever enjoy the thought of anyone being separated from God. You have every right to be appalled by that, and I'm sorry you and other non-Christians on this board have been subjected to that.

Answer 2

At a guess, since I'm a Christian who desires all to be saved and not one person created in God's image to be excluded from His presence for all eternity, I would say that most of the time it is a result of frustration over people not believing in God and what the Bible teaches and a human, fleshly, response that doesn't come from the Holy Spirit or reflect the long suffering kindness of God.

Galatians 5:16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall by no means fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these things oppose each other, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are: adultery, fornication, immorality, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions, 21 envies, murders, drinking bouts, revelries, and the like; which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control--against such things there is no law.

Answer 3

Just a few moments ago, I became teary eyed, after reading various messages, where people insult God, and state they don't believe He exists. It reminds me of a time in my life, when I turned my back on the Lord.

Now that I've been humbled, have drawn near to God, and He is slowly healing me of many problems I had in the past, it breaks my heart to see so many speak against Him, when all He wants is to love us, and offer eternal life.

It also breaks my heart, that so many are deceived, because I know according to scripture, the consequences of unrepentance. Many reject God, because they are disappointed with religion and Christians who have NOT been born again. This combination FOOLS many into believing religion is above a relationship with God.

I am not the same person today, that I was last year, or just a few months ago. When you allow God into your life, I mean really open your heart to Him, you will KNOW that He is real. You will begin to change, and your heart will be filled with so much love, even for those who hate you, that you'll literally feel as if you're going to burst.

So no...I do NOT find pleasure in knowing that my brothers and sisters will be separated from God, because they deny the Lord's existence. I hope this touches the heart of at least ONE PERSON. God Bless

Answer 4

A pure biblical christian follow God, believe what the Bible says is his word and they live their lives around what he says in that book. Unfortunetly the Bible says that non believers wont be saved meaning they would go to hell. But anyone that calls themself a christian, and is so thankful they know their saved that they laugh at those who aren't have some reading to do.

Unfortunelt a lot of people who call themselves Christians make up there own rules or guidlines about how Christians act without back those actions up with scripture.

Answer 5

I somewhat have absolute faith in Jesus Christ. it somewhat is conventional he descended into the international at a time of non secular lack of knowledge and rampant debauchery. As his repute escalated many sought to funds in on the individuals choose for for a saviour. for this reason Jesus replaced into combating devil and spreading the be attentive to God, the fake profiteering prophets have been status as Gods, idols and icons to a plenty requisite people. subsequently Jesus counselled that his be conscious replaced right into a thank you to salvation and to fact, no longer wishing the mob to be exploited and led added into depravity. unfortunately those cashing in on his call and gaining large glory with the aid of association have taken this short-term fact as a missive to worldwide cohesion and allegiance to the only Almighty ideal Spirit. unfortunately no longer all Christians are by using fact the Christ, and it somewhat is those very coyotes’ in sheep’s clothing that have introduced destroy upon Christianity and led to its branch and fragmentation. All faiths have a hardcore posse of jackals saved on the payroll with the aid of the hierarchy for the purpose of heckling and trolling Gloating, in seek of excitement from the suffering of others or being arrogant of one’s meant sobriety is a heinous sin as that's the very noble souls who've the final quantity of humility. the international can't stay rather with a sparkling ethical experience and peace till humanity is of one accord, and carnal nature is destroyed. Peace Love Prosperity ...

Answer 6

I sa, "Shame on those that do!" Not even God Himself would agree to such behavior! In fact it was those that were proud of their 'religious position', that He was critical of. We are not to lord anything over another. instead the desired attitude is humility and concern. Makes me ashamed to be called a christian. Instead I prefer to be seen simply as a believer in the Word of God. I don't say that with any 'pride' either. I am deeply greatful that Jesus extended His amazing grace and merciful love to me. Sincerely, Rose

Answer 7

Though I know some lovely religious folks who would strongly oppose that attitude...am also aware that there are some (or many) religious people whom believe their own delusions of grandeur, and one of the "feelings" related to your question specifically, is the power associated to the belief that they have some sort of key to an eternity of bliss, makes them feel special and uniquely chosen by their god.

Answer 8

I'm not gloating about unbelievers going to hell.
I feel very concerned for their souls, and I am deeply saddened by their persistent unbelief and rebellion against God. I grieve for them and try my best to win them to Christ. I plead with them to believe and receive Christ by holding out the Word of God to them. I pray they will be confronted with the gospel and accept Christ's offer of salvation.

If an insignificant human being like myself can feel these things, then know that the love of God is infinite and perfect. He has paid the ultimate price in order to reach you and other unbelievers. Repent, and believe, to your own salvation!

Answer 9

I couldn't, my heart goes out to those who don't see god or despise God for past transgressions, he has blessed me from youth and works through all men's lives. I try not to force religion but sometimes I don't understand why people lack faith. He has been so kind to me I can do him no wrong.

Answer 10

Since I'm not the one that makes the decisions on who goes to hell and who doesn't, I really don't concern myself with who does or who doesn't.

I know what you're saying though... and it is deserving of pity.
