Do not think that I actually think that Christianity is for the weak...because I am a Christian. I just want to know what people imply by the phrase

On yahoo answers Christianity is for the strong

Consider this...it is an attempt to trigger the person's old nature into rising up. How? By poking at a person's pride.
That's right, pride. It's an attempt to resurrect the old sinful prideful nature.
This same subtle attack has been used countless times and has created much human pride in those that would follow Jesus Christ in faith and obedience.
Satan lifted himself up in pride, and became what he is now.
You know that pride goes before a fall.
Pride is exactly opposite of the humility we need to follow the Lord.
It is an attempt at "shaming" someone away from faithful obedience, enticing them to "know better."
Sometimes, the attack is not so easy to figure out, but the way to realize what's being done is to listen carefully, and see what the other person's intended outcome might be.

Obviously a newbie to Yahoo Q & A with no knowledge of the Bible or science, most of the Apostles died martyr's deaths, and the rocks are crying out:

Edit: You call yourself a Christian, and your Avatar shows a young woman posed with nearly naked breasts on prominent display for the world of Yahoo.......you're either a troll or your mama certainly didn't raise you right, go put some clothes on.

It is a sick comment !!! It means the person who said it thinks that love is for the weak and that macho trumps everything else !!! Families need love engendered and the father to provide and protect !!! BIG JOB IN THESE DAYS !!!

Somebody's personal opinion.
I do not call the Apostles weak. They suffered a lot to spread the word about the risen Jesus Christ.

Quoting Carla Tortelli from Cheers:
Carla: [to Sam after he complains about the difficulty of doing a Catholic penance] "It's not a religion for wusses."

Nietzsche thought so too and ended up in an asylum.

in your Christian walk you will learn that nonbelievers call us many things.
as a Christian I can tell you that with out Christ I am weak it is in his love that I become strong.

That means you are saying God is a pansy. Without God we have no foundation. With God we have the only foundation that counts. Christ is the chief cornerstone.I'd say he couldn't be any stronger than that.

Perhaps someone thinks that all of those martyrs who were burned at the stake, sawed in half, boiled in oil, and other delightful things like that rather than denying what they believed in, were weak.
Strange definition of weak, isn't it?
But do you know what, in ourselves we ARE weak, it is Christ in us who gives us strength.
