A question for christians - Please answer truthfully?

Question

No true Christian would do anything to bring shame to or make god feel angry or sadden him.

However the Bible also says the if someone harms one of his people it is like "touching my eyeball", a situation that would make god angry at those bringing the harm and saddened at the harm that had been done to one of his people. It is also states in the Bible that Christians must love their neighbour wether they are Christians or not and that Christians must also display themselves as Christians, like the tale good Samaritan.

Therefore, is not a Christian who stands around and allows an injustice just as guilty as the person committing the injustice in gods eyes? Further, if this is a sin should it not be regarded as one, instead of the lack lustre 'well its only a semi-bad thing' that it is treated as now?

Thanks.

PS - This is not an meant to be an attack on Christians, I would regard myself as Christian, it is a question about the way things are thought of in this world.

Answer 1

Here is a non-believer's point oif view in this context.

Christianity, like most of the other religions, places a number of idealistic and perfectionist duties or norms of behavior on its followers.... these being highly idealistic, it is next to impossible for everyone to comply with, and also for anyone to comply with all the time without exception, because we human beings are imperfect and yield to weaknesses of mind and body every now and then. I believe the whole idea is to set a distant goal which would be visible from all angles so that people can try to move in the right direction even as it is granted that the goal is too distant to actually reach it except for a handful of super faithful!! So long as people are made to move in the right direction, it is hoped that the ultimate aim of maximizing collective wellbeing can be achieved to the best possible extent.

Answer 2

It depends on the type of injustice. The Bible does state that 'if one knows how to do what is right and does not do it, it is a sin for him". ( James 4:17) Therefore, it is a Christian's obligation to help his/her fellow believer should they be experiencing hardship in this world, such as a lack of food or clothing, for example. (James 2:15, 16)

On the other hand, there are times when a Christian would not act against the injustice. Jesus didn't act out against those who killed him. Likewise, the Bible says "return evil for evil to no one". Such a person would then trust in God to handle the situation. (Romans 12:17-21)

When making decisions about acting in regard to specific injustices, a person needs to do all things for God's glory.

Answer 3

Yes, a Christian that stands around and allows those injustices to happen, (If a Christian has the ability to stop it) would be just as guilty as if they had done the offense himself. However, since we are living in the end times, injustice is everywhere. It is difficult to fight all the injustices in the world. Sometimes all we can handle is our little corner of the world.

Answer 4

injustices happens all the time. whether Christians are there or not. if i see someone being mugged or beat up..I'm going to call the police and help as much as i can. but there is a time and place for everything. if a bank is being robbed..i cant play hero and im not.

"No true Christian would do anything to bring shame to or make god feel angry or sadden him."--in regards to that statement...I'm only human. I'm going to make mistakes.

Answer 5

initially this is rather not what God had planned for humanity, He had the backyard of Eden for all to stay and love one yet another till humanity made a multitude of it. So, God won't be able to look upon sin, so He sent His self with the aid of fact the Son and got here down in human type to stroll in this earth for 31/2 years to unfold the Gospel and to be certain why guy has such a lot of problems, (in an attempt to talk). it rather is the reason He knows if we're not appropriate, we repent and proceed on. do no longer take me incorrect with the aid of fact being a Christian, you does no longer intentionally sin. Christianity and Islam the two have Father Abraham and he has Blessed many generations. Jesus will quickly step out on that cloud interior the jap sky and phone His Saints abode. For those left at the back of the horror is almost indescribable. you will pray to die yet you will no longer have the flexibility to. in case you do no longer comprehend God the daddy, Jesus Christ the Son and The Holy Spirit then a man or woman soul is doomed to Hell invariably and ever interior the lake of hearth. Why do no longer you kneel and make an apology of your sins and pray for awareness to comprehend. God is a Spirit and he has consistently been right here.

Answer 6

While I have not read the entire Bible, I feel that if you watch a sin occur and you don't do anything to stop it then you are, in a sense, committing the same sin. Unless of course, it is not in your ability to do something. You should always try to stick up for what you believe in. I guess that every Christian interprets the Bible differently and has different meanings for "sin".

Answer 7

According to your logic all Christians would be in jail and on trial.

Yes there is a time to make a stand.

But the real battle is spiritual.

Only those who show loving kindness are to be considered our neighbors.

Study the Parable of the good Samaritan.

Luk 10:30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
Luk 10:31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
Luk 10:32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
Luk 10:33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
Luk 10:34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
Luk 10:35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
Luk 10:36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
Luk 10:37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

Answer 8

what you say is true. and it is not merely philosophizing, either. yes. christians do fail at being christians. they stumble often as they follow their Lord. they even, wittingly or unwittingly, demean the name of their Lord by their action, or inaction. this is because even if christians have been made new by their Lord's sacrifice on the cross, the old nature, the sinful nature remains.
but because of the grace of our Lord Christ, christians can also ask for forgiveness and start anew. this does not mean that they will automatically be better.
and so the whole of the christian life is a struggle.

Answer 9

I can hear you…
However, your fellow faithfuls are those whom are committing murders against innocent countries and nations both in the past and present and more over they are the ones supporting the complete injustice in the Middle East; allowing Israel to commit atrocities against the innocent Palestinians…
So, here you go…

Answer 10

Whether a person is a christian or a non-believer as people
we all need to be held accountable for the injustice's in our
community if we allow them to continue.
