Based upon the Bible, what is the duty of a Christian in relation to other religions?

I have read a lot of opinions and semi-informed opinions so far, but I am still waiting for those who have actually studied the Bible in detail.

Are there any of those types on here tonight?

Answer 1

1-Yes
2-Yes
3-Yes
4-Yes
5-Yes

Mathew 28:10, 20: "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."

The duty of the Christian is to fulfill the Great Commision by preaching the Truth of God's Word. If the message of the Truth falls on unreceptive ears, then they have a problem with God, and the Christian is in good standing with God because he/she has been obedient to God.

*Doesn't apply.

*Yes. Expose false teachers, false prophets, and false religions.

5. Do non-Christians constantly take scriptures about Judging Others out of context and try to use them to contradict Jesus Christ and His teaching?

*Evangelize non-Christians.

Answer 3

yes...remember in the temple he was so angry

No, not critical but the Bible says to try all spirits (test them) to see if they are of God. We must question the beliefs of all man made religion. If you dig you will usually find as in Mormonism there is someone who wants to be recognized as a god equal. We need to be wise a serpents and gentle as doves.

Question 4 is confusing. I think you are asking if its a Christian duty to warn others of a false teaching, to which I would reply yes.

I think non Christians want to prove there point. They do take scripture out of context. However I have found that they usually are unable to contradict anything. They do allot of rambling.

I am not a believer in religions. I am in fact Leary of religions. It seems I am one of God's wounded soldiers who has been kicked in the teeth one to many times by religions.

I am a born again Christian, I just dont want to get involved in a church and all the politics. I hate the gossip of look what so in so has on, and the oh have you heard crap.

Answer 4

1,2,3,4. Jesus was critical of those who used religion to justify their lifestyle, line their pockets or assumed that it was the road to eternal life and fellowship with God.

A religion is a set of common beliefs and practices generally held by a group of people, often codified as prayer, ritual, and religious law.

Jesus was never critical of "religion" but those individuals who would abuse or misuse what it represented.

Jesus taught that re-establishing fellowship with the God would only happen through the "belief" that God sent His Son (Jesus) to die in our place for the sins we have or will comit.

5. Not only do non-Christians take scriptures out of context to bolster or justify their beliefs but Christians alike try and "use" the Word of God to validate and rationalize their behavior.

Answer 5

1. No. He encouraged religion, including man-made religious practices. He was critical of hypocrisy, and insisted that people live up to the religious standards that they set for others. The only things he praised about the Pharisees were the religious traditions that they maintained, and he even commanded his disciples to do everything that the Pharisees said to do. The only man-made tradition he criticizes was the one that the Jews used to avoid stoning their rebellious children to death. According to Jesus, the law allowed for mercy, and there was no need for a traditional loop-hole. Negating the commandment negates mercy. We also tend to forget that the resurrection, angels, and most of the Old Testament were considered religious traditions in first century Jerusalem.

2 through 4 are kind of extensions of 1.

5. Absolutely.

Answer 6

1. N
2. Jesus was not critical of religion he and His followers believed everyone was made equal.
3. N
4. N
5. Y

To help others so they can pass on the good nature of the person who has helped them. To see that everyone is created equal in every single way.

Answer 7

Was Jesus critical of religion?

"If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain." James 1:26

If Jesus was critical of religion, should his followers be also?

"Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" Amos 3:3

If the followers of Jesus are called 'Christians' then should Christians be careful and critical of all types of man-made religions?

"Abstain from all appearance of evil." 1 Thessalonians 5:22

"Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye." Mark 7:13

Jesus uttered these sharp words of rebuke to the scribes and Pharisees, who had encumbered the plain teachings of Scripture with numerous "interpretations" which enabled them to ignore whatever teachings they found inconvenient. The Lord Jesus Himself always took the Scriptures literally and as of divine authority, and so should we.

Furthermore, He taught that every word was true and authoritative: "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled" (Matthew 5:18). He also said that "the scripture cannot be broken" (John 10:35).

Skeptics may pose certain difficulties in the Bible, evolutionists may ridicule its account of creation, and sinners in general may try to wriggle away from its moral constraints, but the Scripture cannot be broken! Jesus said, "He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day" (John 12:48). He Himself is the living Word of God, and we dare not tamper with the written Word inspired by the Holy Spirit. Christ, of course, could and did in some cases extend and apply the Old Testament Scriptures, because He Himself was their Author, but He never questioned their factuality or literal accuracy, and neither should we.

Nevertheless, many modern "Christian" intellectuals and cultists are following in the example of the Pharisees, rather than that of Christ, "wresting" the Scriptures for their gain but "unto their own destruction" (II Peter 3:16). God has spoken plainly in His Word. It is our responsibility to believe and do what He says.

Is the criticism of man-made religion as a warning to others a Christian duty?

"...We ought to obey God rather than men." Acts 5:29

"That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God." 1 Corinthians 2:5

Do non-Christians constantly take scriptures about Judging Others out of context and try to use them to contradict Jesus Christ and His teaching?

"...Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God." Matthew 22:29

"...the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ." 1 Corinthians 2:14-16

Based upon the Bible, what is the duty of a Christian in relation to other religions?

"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man." Ecclesiastes 12:13

"And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment." Mark 12:30

"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." Mark 16:15

Answer 8

1-5 Yes

Based on Scripture, we as Christians are to lovingly attempt to give instruction on errors in doctrine and try to bring those going astray back into the truths of the Word.
