Questions

[Hajile]

I would like to ask just a few questions about the activity on this forums:
1. There is much condemnation going on here, such as calling the Japanese chinks. What happened to Romans 2?
1Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

2. Why is it that some people here, marked by a true christian tag, are calling America God's favorite country? We are not God's chosen people; the Jews were. However, his salvation extends to ALL of us, every person could be saved.
John 3:16 "16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Let us take note of the "whosoever" part. Why would America be God's favorite country? As a society, America is just as immoral, if not more so, than the rest of the world.

3.Additionally, the banning of people, and saying they will be thrown into hell, is not for us to decide; it is for God. Why did Jesus die on the cross for us? Was it not to forgive us of our sins?
Romans 3:23 " 23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"
We are all sinners and deserve to be thrown into hell without the guidance of our Lord Christ Jesus. So then, why do we announce, publicly, that other people aught to be thrown into hell?

I am praying.

What, are you saying the Japanese are not chinks then? Who are chinks then, the Swedes?

If you bother to read Romans 2 more closely, you can see it is a warning against hypocritical judgment, just like how Jesus warned us in Matthew 7:1-5. Read the last part which says "for thou that judgest does the same things".

The Bible is clear in commanding us to judge others. We are warned not to judge hypocritically, of course, but there is nowhere in the Bible that tells us not to judge at all.

Psalm 37:30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.

John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

2. Why is it that some people here, marked by a true christian tag, are calling America God's favorite country? We are not God's chosen people; the Jews were. However, his salvation extends to ALL of us, every person could be saved.
John 3:16 "16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

Let us take note of the "whosoever" part. Why would America be God's favorite country? As a society, America is just as immoral, if not more so, than the rest of the world.

I'm glad you highlighted whosoever because many people think that everybody will go to Heaven because Christ died for them. Wrong. Christ died only for those who believe in him, as John 3:16 says. Now, you're getting a little confused here. We believe that America is God's Favorite Country, but that's still no reason why some foreigner can't repent their heathen ways and accept Christ. Even those chinks in Japan, as mentioned earlier in the post, if they were to embrace Christ they would be Saved(r) too.

3.Additionally, the banning of people, and saying they will be thrown into hell, is not for us to decide; it is for God. Why did Jesus die on the cross for us? Was it not to forgive us of our sins?
Romans 3:23 " 23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"
We are all sinners and deserve to be thrown into hell without the guidance of our Lord Christ Jesus. So then, why do we announce, publicly, that other people aught to be thrown into hell?

Because the Bible is clear on what to do and not what to do. The Bible also tells us that sinners will be damned to Hell, so it's just simple logic to realize that if a person is not following the Bible, they will go to Hell.

John 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

1st Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

Also, it is true we are all born as sinners, but you must remember that the blood of Christ washes us from all sin! Once you become a True Christian(tm) you are sin-free.

1st John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

I am praying.

As I am too that you will renounce the lies that Satan has you believing and embrace True Christianity(tm) instead.

Apology accepted.

Now, please make a thread of your own in the "Introductions" section of the forum, so that we can properly greet you. Tell us about yourself, your church, and how you came to find Jesus.

And if you're here to flame us, better take a look at THIS before making an even bigger ass out of yourself.
