why does christianity not practise what it preaches?

Question

i quote "do not judge".

so why do you go around telling us athesits, muslims, hindus, sihks, buddhists, jews, satanists, spiritualists, homosexuals, rastafarian, pastafarian (RAmen my noodly brothers!), cult members and scientists that we are all going to burn in hell? isnt that rather contradictory of "do not judge, love thy neighbour" etc etc?


and dont pretend that you didnt read this either....

for the record: this is mainly aimed at the god squad and the fundies on this site.


you havent seen any christinas ranting people on how they are going to burn? are you new here?

i notice how the christians that have condemmned people to there said hell are getting stroppy.... stop throwing your toys out of the pram!

and FTR: im a atheist, though im not alone in this, read initial message.

christians: you are not permoitted to call me by my first name, im not your freind.

Answer 1

Umm, try reading the bible... there's like thousands of pointless rules, they can't really follow all of them (stoning to death for wearing clothes made with several materials is a good one). So, as all people, they just pick the ones they like, and only demand that others follow all of them. I quote too: "Do as I say, not as I do".

May they forever marinate in tomato-sauce!

Answer 2

I suppose there are a few aspect to this question that bear addressing.

First, we Christians often do not practice what we preach because we are imperfect, sinning humans. For this I am sorry.

Second, if I (or any professing Christian) directs at someone personally that they are going to burn in hell then they are guilty of attempting to sit on God's throne. This is a major sin of pride.

Third, if the statement is made (as a generality) that any person who does not believe in Jesus as Savior, Lord and God is condemned already. Well we are simply quoting the words of Jesus in John chapter 3.

This is not a judgement, it is a fact. However, I have no idea about your eternal destination. All I know is my own. I know that no one has to stay in this condition and that it is simply a matter of choice for each person. Ask me more if you want to.


edit-- LOL! Mr. Question asker sir (who starts his name with an A). I am sorry you do not want to be my friend. I have nothing against you and would not mind being your friend.

Your statement is very funny. You have my permission to use my name or call me anything you want to. :-)

Answer 3

Well you could say that they are loving thy neighbour by trying to protect you from burning in hell. I guess you are right about the don't judge one though.

Another one is how Jesus was supposed to have said things like:

"it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to go into the kingdom of heaven."
Matthew 19:24, Mark 10:235, Luke 18:25

"No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money." Luke 16:13:

but then some Christians go round trying to get as much money as possible for themselves.

At the same time though, I think it can be a bit harsh to label them all hypocrites. It is very natural to love money. Everyone does it and nobody who converts to Christianity is going to give up loving money over night.

The Christian undergoes a constant battle to achieve the Christian ideals. Sometimes changing ourselves for the better isn't easy, but as long as we realize that we have a long way to go and keep on trying to change that is enough.

Answer 4

You know the answer to this?
Because Christians are HUMAN people like you,
And there you go again?
burn in hell
the most used word on this site
I am a Christian' and I smoke' occasionally drink'
ogle at the women, done bad things [big time]
but that's me' and I do not condemn other people
and I never say' you will go to HELL
and if you' was not conditioned to hate Christians,
you would find' that they are the same as you,
but believe in Christ, no difference

Answer 5

Simple, some people do not see the difference between judging and revealing. It is not judging to say that homosexuality is wrong, it is stating a fact as true. What is wrong is saying you are going to Hell because you are a homosexual because that is judging. I will never tell you that you are going to burn in Hell, for one because I do not believe there will be any burning in Hell and for two only God knows your heart enough to make the judgment.

Answer 6

I'm an atheist, but I was raised christian. They just forget that they are not in fact better than non-christians....just forgiven. It's easy to get carried away with something like that when you're told to "spread the gospel" because you feel you have the answers. That would tend to make people feel smart, but christianity preaches against that. Personally I'm all for peaceful cohabitation, but people on both sides christian AND atheist alike, keep picking fights, by doing things like asking questions like this...there's no reason to do that unless you're just trying to kick up some dust...

Answer 7

Obviously God is calling you. You can't be 'us'
ie athesits, muslims, hindus, sihks, buddhists, jews, satanists, spiritualists, homosexuals, rastafarian, pastafarian (RAmen my noodly brothers!), cult members and scientists
He is talking to you.

Answer 8

Now I don't agree with Christians coming on here and saying that.... But does it really bother you that bad? I mean you can tell me whatever you want and it wouldn't change my feelings on Christ. I think it's funny that you find it so offensive that people tell you are going to hell when you don't even believe in the same thing.

Answer 9

yes christians do practise what they preach. and they also follow the bible and if i were u i would look at revelations in the bible where it talks about the last days.
and the bible said do not judge but it didn't say do not correct and being a real christian you have to follow all of the rules of the bible. and the bible strictly speakes against witch craft satanists spirituality and homosexuality

Answer 10

John 3 verse 16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
