Oh great. 'Because the Bible says so'.
Prove that I'm violent using actual methods deemed acceptable by modern society. Get some pictures of me being 'violent'. Make my day with your image editing skills.

If you would like to define violent I would be happy to oblige. I will not be using images.

You continually astonish me with your disrespect to your elders. Who do you think you are? You are ordering a True Christian(tm) to prove something to you? (1 Timothy 5:17-19)

Might I remind you, little one, that YOU keep choosing to post on OUR Christian board. We did not invite you here. If you will notice, you keep getting yourself further and further in a hole.

We welcome your respectful questions, but this is getting beyond disrespect.
(Hebrews 13:7) Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of [their] conversation.

I am praying for you to see the light.

Mrs Rogers, let's not make Christians look dumb.

Let's think the other way:

What about the people from the Amazonian jungles? They've never heard of Christianity or anything like that. They belive in their own gods. And because of this fact, they are supposed to go to hell? I mean, it's not their fault.

All people are accountable to God whether or not they have “heard about Him.” The Bible tells us that God has clearly revealed Himself in nature (Romans 1:20) and in the hearts of people (Ecclesiastes 3:11). The problem is that the human race is sinful; we all reject this knowledge of God and rebel against Him (Romans 1:21-23). If it were not for God's grace, we would be given over to the sinful desires of our hearts, allowing us to discover how useless and miserable life is apart from Him. He does this for those who continually reject Him (Romans 1:24-32).

In reality, it is not that some people have not heard about God. Rather, the problem is that they have rejected what they have heard and what is readily seen in nature. Deuteronomy 4:29 proclaims, “But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.” This verse teaches an important principle—everyone who truly seeks after God will find Him. If a person truly desires to know God, God will make Himself known.

The problem is “there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God” (Romans 3:11). People reject the knowledge of God that is present in nature and in their own hearts, and instead decide to worship a “god” of their own creation. It is foolish to debate the fairness of God sending someone to hell who never had the opportunity to hear the gospel of Christ. People are responsible to God for what God has already revealed to them. The Bible says that people reject this knowledge, and therefore God is just in condemning them to hell.

Instead of debating the fate of those who have never heard, we, as Christians, should be doing our best to make sure they do hear. We are called to spread the gospel throughout the nations (Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8). We know people reject the knowledge of God revealed in nature, and that must motivate us to proclaim the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. Only by accepting God’s grace through the Lord Jesus Christ can people be saved from their sins and rescued from an eternity apart from God.

In Christ

Re: False Religions And Cults

You are all so far in denial and delusion, all religions are fairy-tales. What kind of self respecting adult lets themselves believe these glorified children's stories. You might as well believe in Harry Potter. Religion has been holding back mankind for far too long. We need to move on and EVOLVE!

Oh and by the way I know you're going to call me satan's puppet or whatever such nonsense and that I'm going to hell, but I honestly couldn't care less because there is no hell or devil or after life so your argument is invalid.

Hello, and welcome to our friendly forum! What church do you go to? What Bible verse sets your heart aflame with love? How did you come to find Jesus as your Savior and bff in these dark days?

Re: False Religions And Cults

...there is no hell or devil or after life...

Proof?

You wouldn't be so stupid as to base your philosophy, ethos, morals, etc., on something that just seems right to you, but that you're completely unable to verify, would you?

...so your argument is invalid.

What makes yours valid?

[shanman]

One thing I absolutely do not understand is why some Christians do not tolerate other religions. If God put on sunglasses and changed his name, does that mean worshiping him while he is wearing something else is wrong?

Let's take Hinduism for example. It says Ekam Sat, viprah bahudha vadanti," meaning "Truth is One, sages describe it variously." It conveys a core Hindu idea: that there can be multiple valid viewpoints about God. I stress this point: "The Hindu recognizes one Supreme Spirit, though different names are given to it."

- I'm still a Christian, but can't we all learn from this? When Jesus died for are sins, he died for EVERYONE. Just because some people call God's name differently doesn't mean he hates them. GOD LOVES ALL MAN! JESUS DIED FOR ARE SINS, AND NOW HE WANTS ALL PEOPLE OF ALL RELIGION TO COME TO HEAVEN, AS LONG AS THEY SURRENDER TO GOD!

Let's think the other way:

What about the people from the Amazonian jungles? They've never heard of Christianity or anything like that. They belive in their own gods. And because of this fact, they are supposed to go to hell? I mean, it's not their fault.

You're right, it's not their fault. In fact, they believe in Jesus and God as well, but they don't see it like we do. Think about it as God wearing a shawl. We don't know it is him, but he's protecting us and watching over us all the time. He's watching over them too.

Re: False Religions And Cults

What some Christians? It's this simple. A Christian is a person who follows Christ. Opinion of Jesus about non-believers is this, by His words.

Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

In fact, they believe in Jesus and God as well, but they don't see it like we do. Think about it as God wearing a shawl. We don't know it is him, but he's protecting us and watching over us all the time. He's watching over them too.

Stop making up these lies. This is what Jesus says about people that does not spread His word, Christianity.

Matthew 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

Do you think you know better than Jesus?

Re: False Religions And Cults

Ekam Sat, viprah bahudha vadanti,"

This is a very powerful prayer against witchcraft. This prayer can shut down witches and satanists like you forever. Being that this prayer basically shuts down the senders of the hexes and vexes by returning their evil to them sevenfold. I now hurl it at you in Christ's name!

Father,
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I plead the precious uncorruptable blood of Jesus over myself and my church and everything that belongs to us. I ask for giant warrior Angels to be loosed from Heaven to surround and protect us. As your war club and weapons of war I break down, undamn, and blow up all walls of protection around all witches, warlocks, wizards, satanists, and the like, and I break the power of all curses, hexes, vexes, spells, charms, fetishes, physic prayers, physic thought, all witchcraft, sorcery, magic, voodoo, all mind control, jinxes, potions, bewitchments, death, destruction, sickness, pain, torment, physic power, physic warfare, prayer chains, and everything else being sent my way or my family members way, and I return it and the demons to the senders right now!, SEVENFOLD, and I BIND it to them by the Blood of Jesus!

Father, I pray that these lost souls will find the light of your son Jesus.. Their own snares and traps have been set against themselves.. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I now loose them from all mindcontrol of satan!.. Father I also ask that you Bind the Holy Spirit to there hearts as a guide to your son Jesus.. So they may be set free from the bondages of satan.

In Jesus name I pray..
Amen

Salvation is through one name alone.

Acts 4:12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.

When Jesus died for are sins, he died for EVERYONE.

No, He didn't. Jesus died specifically for His people (Jn 10:15, 28), His church.

Eph 5:25b Even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

GOD LOVES ALL MAN!

No, He doesn't. He hates lots of people.

Lev 20:23 And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

Lev 26:30 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.

Deu 32:19 And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.

Ps 5:5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

Ps 5:6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

Ps 10:3 For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

Ps 11:5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.

Ps 53:5 There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.

Ps 73:20 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.

Ps 78:59 When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:

Ps 106:40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.

Pro 6:16-19 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Pro 22:14 The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.

Lam 2:6 And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.

Hos 9:15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.

Am 5:21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.

Zec 11:8 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.

Mal 1:3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.

Rom 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

Rev 2:6; 15 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.

AND NOW HE WANTS ALL PEOPLE OF ALL RELIGION TO COME TO HEAVEN, AS LONG AS THEY SURRENDER TO GOD!

Where is that in the Bible?

You're right, it's not their fault. In fact, they believe in Jesus and God as well, but they don't see it like we do. Think about it as God wearing a shawl. We don't know it is him, but he's protecting us and watching over us all the time. He's watching over them too.

I'm afraid God would disagree with you. The Bible makes it clear that you cannot believe unless you've heard the Gospel.

Rom 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Rom 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
[. . .]
Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Yet if you haven't heard the Gospel, that's no excuse. God has clearly revealed Himself through Creation.

Ps 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

Eccl 3:11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

Rom 1:18-20 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

God gave you a conscience so that you would know right from wrong. So even if you've never heard God's moral law, you can't plead ignorance if you break the Sabbath or wear a garment of mixed fabric.

Rom 2:14-15 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;

God determines where people are born. He controls the rise and fall of nations.

Acts 17:26-27 [God] hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:

What better way to get people to seek after Him than to scatter them all over the earth in places where they will never hear the Gospel? It's all part of His master plan.
