Why do some of you spew hate? you can't wait to point fingers for who goes to hell. You call other religions evil and hell bound. You tell good people if you don't accept your message about Jesus right away they could die tomorrow and go to hell. So many are anti gay and intolerant of many beliefs. Keep in mind not everyone will ever believe everything you say. Than some of you go on to critique other religions and call them false or say Wiccans are witches when you haven't looked in depth at it.
And my favorite is when people call evolutionists evil because Satan made it. ok im done with my rant heres the end point?Is this something Jesus would ever do to people?
Don't have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. And the Lord's servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance. 2 Timothy 2:23

I even do not understand, yet I spend a variety of of time explaining how biology instructions artwork at a Catholic college. for sure we learn evolution!!! Duh, we are no longer interior the freaking center a lengthy time period! i imagine it really is because fundamentalists like the mormons ect. are very vocal, as extremists are wont to be. perchance something individuals ought to easily be somewhat louder? human beings, he did not say he did not trust the Bible. The Bible is a non secular textual content, no longer a historic or medical textual content. it really is the answer to the "3 biggies" (why am I right here, what ought to I do at the same time as i'm right here, and the position am I going at the same time as i'm no longer right here any extra?) Many memories interior the Bible are myths. look up the note "fantasy" it would not say something about the validity of the tale, a fantasy is "a narrative meant to describe something" it could be a real tale or a no longer real tale. the point is, the teachings realized from interpreting the Bible (in historic/cultural context) is what Christians trust. Adam and Eve might want to no longer have existed, notwithstanding the tale about them teaches that one and all people face temptation, that God forgives sin, notwithstanding it has organic consequences, that people are good, that God created the international (notwithstanding God did it), and that people have a choose for God, between different issues. that is what's crucial.

Actually, Wiccans are witches. I'm one, and I'll admit that. What is not true is that Wiccans worship the Christian god, demigod, demon, or whatever you want to call him, named Satan.
Satan is part of Christianity, not Wicca.
Too, I think that when Christians read the verse "Suffer not a Witch to live", that they should look at the word Witch in Hebrew. It did not mean a follower of a Pagan religion, but rather one who poisons people.
That said, I agree with your sentiments. I'll go further and state that the name-calling and hatred should not happen in any religion.
True enough, we have differences, but differences should be celebrated. This is what makes the world marvelous. If all flowers were the same color, and we wished to get rid of all that weren't blue, what would a field look like without the reds, whites, yellows, oranges and such?
I don't have to agree with you, but I'm not going to condemn you because I don't.

We are dealing with all the bugs crawling out from under the rock of Christianity at this time in our mass spiritual development.
Simple minds prefer simple things, such as a black and white perception of the Universe. Those that have been in power a long time are threatened by the loss of power. Fear works on the unevolved. There are Christians who think that people revealing Truth are led by Satan, and they will use man manipulated quotes from the Bible to inspire fear to prevent questioners from listening to Truth.
They themselves are in fact the ones manipulated by Satan, and they are the false Christians. The days of current Christianity as we know it are ending and a new faith with true Christ consciousness will emerge. A house divided will not stand.

Friend, we who are true Christians don't want anybody to go to Hell. The Bible records the experience of a man who went there in St. Luke 16, and has quite graphic descriptions of what awaits those who reject Jesus Christ and His salvation. We also have descriptions of Heaven, as found in the Scriptures, and as for me, I would rather spend forever with Jesus than without Him.
As for your observation at the end of your first paragraph, Jesus never turned away anyone who genuinely wanted to know the truth, but He never allowed anyone to rant, either. There was no record in Scripture where He got involved with discussing things as science, etc. He wanted people to believe in Him and in God's Love. People who met Jesus were either changed for the better, or for the worse--there was no "neutral" or "status unchanged".

Sounds like you are "spewing" a little hatred of your own. We can only love others and not be so quick to judge and condemn. God is in control and is far better equipped to handle the problems of this world than we are.

The bible says from the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. Listen to the message coming out of their mouths and just imagine what lies within their hearts. It's truly sad.

I extremely agree with you, except on one matter. The whole anti-gay thing it actually a belife christians should follow, just don't do it in a hateful way, either verbaly or physically. He did teach us tolerance, but he did say that being gay is an abomination.

What you say is absolutely true. Jesus did not die for the sins of those who refuse to accept him. He died for the sins of many. By your Spirit you should be proud to be called a Christian.
