Christians, do you think like this?

It is not for me to judge who is going to hell. That is God's choice alone and no true Christian should be thinking that they are speaking for God or doing God's thinking for Him. That's shameful.

I try to set a good example for those who are non-believers but I also try not to judge them as my Lord and Savior said quite clearly that I will be judged to the same degree that I judge others.

As for the example of homosexuality, I can only say again that it is not for me to judge who is a Christian and who is not. God knows the hearts of all men. I don't.

I do believe that Jesus will come back in the way that it's stated in the Bible, but I think it's a mistake to talk about end times or to presume we know if we are in the end times or not. People have been making those assertions from the beginning of Christianity and sometimes God will deliberately make someone who thinks they are wise appear foolish. It says right in the Bible that no one knows the time but God himself, so why debate it?

I didn't find your question offensive at all. Have a blessed day!

When I became an atheist, I had to unlearn everything I had always been taught about the "evil ways" of atheists. It took me a while to realize that morality seemed like it was of a greater importance and emphasized more by the atheists than it was by the Christians. As far a homosexuality is concerned, I was taught that homosexuals chose that lifestyle and were "sinning" and would go to hell because of it, I saw that belief make an old friend of mine have a nervous breakdown, it nearly killed him. It took me a long time to realize that homosexuality was the result of genetics, not by choice and that it was perfectly normal. I was also taught that any beliefs that differed greatly from the doctrine of my particular brand of Christianity was wrong, and Witchcraft, along with every other religion was considered demonic in nature and Satanic. I also believed in in the "rapture", it was taught and actually became part of my attitude about the condition of existence on earth. My belief was that Jesus was going to return and take all us believers away, and it didn't really matter what happened to the environment or anything else because it was just temporary. My appreciation for life and this planet has increased greatly since I became an atheist.

Atheists can have morals. There's no disagreement there. However, according to Christianity people aren't saved by good morals. They are saved by faith in Christ. Read more here:

http://www.wlsessays.net/node/433

To say it is impossible for a homosexual to be a christian is probably incorrect...if they are struggling with it. If they willfully follow that path while knowing better, then one could make a case they aren't Christian. Typically, a fruit of faith is repentence and amending sinful lifestyles. While it isn't politically correct, God is clear that homosexuality is a sin, but he's not just picking on homosexuals. Any sex outside of marriage between a man and woman is sin. Otherwise, sex is a wonderful gift when used properly.

http://www.wlsessays.net/subject/s/Sexuality

As for witchcraft, any worship of other deities is idolatry, according to God.

http://www.wlsessays.net/subject/w/Witchcraft

The rapture is a millenialism belief, if you are talking the version where all Christians will mysteriously disappear. Scripturally speaking, despite it's popularity, it's false doctrine.

http://www.wlsessays.net/subject/r/Rapture

In closing, it seems you are dictating what is and isn't right according to your opinion rather than what God says about it in the Bible. If you are talking Christianity, then God has the final word, not a person's opinion. It may seem harsh, but God is doing that for peoples' own good, the same as a parent stopping a child from playing with fire. They might think the fire is awesomely fun and harmless, but it's not. Also, you seem to confuse being "good" with being "saved." Being good proceeds from being saved. It is not the reason for being saved.

Hope that helps.

First, and foremost, you need to be specific when you talk about "the Church." Which church? The Catholic Church? The Presbyterians? The Mormons? The Mennonites? The Unitarians? Pentacostals? Evangelicals?

Some of those sects to make the argument that atheists are immoral and go to hell. Many do not. I don't happen to buy into that notion. I don't know how God makes His judgments, and I'm content to leave His judgments to Him.

Second, Christianity and homosexuality are not mutually exclusive. A great many Protestant sects are welcoming gays and lesbians to their congregations.

Third, you are correct.. Witchcraft and paganism are just alternate beliefs, as is Islam and Judiasm and Hinduism.

The Rapture is a misreading of the Book of Revelation. Read in its proper context, Revelation is not about the end times but about how the writer of the time saw himself being in the end times.

You aren't being offensive, you're asking questions, without the need for snarkiness. Good for you!

I don't believe Atheists are immoral and have no values and will go to hell. If you meet any Christan who says that then they are not a true Christan. GOD CAN SAVE ANY ONE SATAN WORSHIPERS, ATHEIST AND WHATEVER ELSE BELEIF SYSTEM YOU HAVE. But they have to accept Jesus as their savior. True Christan's wouldn't say that instead they would be praying that they let jesus come into their heart. You can't be a homosexual and still be a Christan you may love god and he loves you he just hates what you are doing and he thinks its an abomination it doesn't mean he won't ever forgive you for christians it doesn't mean we are supposed to mistreat homosexuals, the bible speaks out against with craft and in acts it talks about what really happens when man mess with demons, and witchcraft, it may no seem bad now but in the long run, it will effect you. I do be live in the rapture which is when jesus is going to bring all his true followers home. Many people say that he will come back for his people. That is true but physically he won't come back until after the rapture, and the Great Tribulation.

If you have ever read Left Behind (an excellent series) by Tim Lahaye then it explains more on the subject of the Rapture.

Aso it is really sad that you don't want to be a christan because of a church. People think the "church represent christians as a whole but they dont'" I pray that one day you do accept Jesus."

The reason Christians say people of other religions worship Satan is not some active love for Satan it is a belief Satan lied and came as many False Gods forming many false religions.

As for Morality of course atheists have morals as it relates to the physical world, you cannot have morality for the spiritual as you cannot have a moral guide to something you don't believe exists.

Homosexuality is a huge can of worms I don't really want to open but to say you cannot be homosexual and Christian is just like saying you can't cheat on your wife and be Christian or you can't be angry and be Christian.

Rapture is completely un-biblical so I do not believe in it.

As for being against witchcraft it is because God explicitly discusses witchcraft in the Bible. But in the end many so called Christians do things God explicitly says not to Tammuz Mithra and Ishtar worship as examples.

2010-09-20 12:21:55 UTC

1.The bible says a fool has said in his heart there is no God. God called you fools not christians

2.You cant be a follower of Christ and be homosexual. The bible lets us know that its an abomination and not the natural way. God said that not christians.

3. Witchcraft is of the devil. You will find in Gods word how people began to worship the creation and not the creator. It also talks about the soothsayers and the conjuring up of spirits. God said its evil not christians.

When you live by the word of God we must line up with everything he says. Though a person may believe in God and shows a love for him if they are still in sin they are not his. You have to excuse people who profess christianity and go about it in an offensive way. God didn't tell us to spread his gospel that way but with love.

Yes i believe in the rapture because the bible declares that Jesus will come back for his own.

Being a christian is such a broad definition these days there is room for just about anyone. I do get offended sometimes when people spout nonsense and simply say 'that is what christians believe'. Like you I dislike extremists and people who are unwilling to try and understand other ways of looking at things. I do not condemn anyone (pedophiles excepted) rater admit my own and probably everyone else's faults. There seems to be those who would encourage the best in people and those who merely want to tell everyone else they are wrong.

I know Jesus taught gently and with easily understood stories he allowed people to come to their own decision and take responsibilityy for their own actions...I have respect for that. On the rare occasion he was seen to be angry and when he spoke out against people...his target were the temple going believers, the do gooders who wore their sunday best and said loud prayers so other could hear them. He wept for the lost and reached out to heal and comfort those in need...oh if only there were a few more trying to be more like that.

Is it a matter of what we think are what God said? If anyone believes and loves God they will do exactly what he says. We want to see between a crack and we all know there is no cracks in the word of God.

Christianity is not where you can have your cake and eat it too. It is sweet but many can not eat it,you and your friend are many of them. Atheism and paganism is a proclamation of independence from God. Witch graft is and abomination such as sexual deviation(homosexuality)So stop being mad at the messenger,God said it!

there are possibilities on earth, in heaven there are impossibilities there. What is impossible for mankind is possible with God. No one can go to heaven and still practice sin. God said no and he means no!

A messianic Jew is a Jew that believes that Jesus is the Messiah. Christians and Messianic Jews believe that Jesus is the Messiah. They are Jews. The point of view of the anti Messianice Jews is best summed up by Mark JPAS when he said "it is acceptable to blend some degree of foreign spiritual elements with Judaism. The one exception is Christianity, which is perceived to be incompatible with any form of Jewishness. This is the double standard that is applied to Christianity even though Jesus is considered the Jewish Messiah in Christianity. Messianic Jews are looked at with even greater disdain. Why? its a cover for there own deviations from Judaism. Some Jews need to maintain a connection to Jewish family because they have deviated so much from traditional Judaism that many Orthodox question their Jewishness. They need find some way to distract attention because of there deviation from the Torah. This is done by pointing their finger at others to direct attention away from their own actions. You can't give yourself a title and expect that it makes you something. This is the argument that has been used against Jews that decide that Jesus is the Messiah. We are told that the mere belief of a different nature of God immediately invalidated a Jews Jewishness. At the same time Jews that become atheists, pantheists or stop practicing any element of their religion we are told are still Jews. They say that you can believe in anything but Jesus. Jews call conversion "joining the tribe". Things that would never fly in Orthodox or for that matter Messianic Judaism can be found in the Reform and Reconstructionist movements. A good example of this is a previous question asked here. The person asking worshiped the God Ferris but did not believe in him or the Jewish God. The focus of the question was" ...would you PERSONALLY feel comfortable welcoming me not just as a fellow congregant at your Synagogue, but as a member of the Tribe?" (so he was clearly asking about converting to Judaism). The response was "Reform Judaism covers a wide swath of beliefs and practices and I am sure you will be wholly accepted. ... I personally would accept you whole heartily as a fellow Jew." So some Jews will accept all kinds of deviations from the Torah but not belief in "Jesus". Let's not forget the Reform movement wanted to change the sabbath to Sunday to be more like Christianity. Most Messianic Jews are Torah observant yet you can become an atheist, stop practicing their faith, become a Buddhist, join a Unitarian Church and still be a Jew in the eyes of Reform/Reconstructionist Jews. Most Orthodox when asked about other Jews will say they don't know what non Orthodox Jews are. The same applies to the other sects. Speaking of sects Jews will tell you there are no sects but its not true. Rabbinical Jews follow an understanding of their faith that was established 1,900 years ago. They have their own canon of Scripture. There are also non Rabbinical Jews such as the Ethiopian Jews that follows the pattern of the Christian Old Testament and they have many additional books that they consider to be scripture. A group called the Karaites is the opposite of the Ethiopian and only believe in the 5 Books of Moses. Rabbinical Jews call Karaites "a sect of Judaism". You can goggle it and see for yourself. Don't let anyone tell you that there are no sects in Judaism. They say the the teachings of Jesus are very different from Judaism. They also claim that Jesus taught nothing new from the rabbis before him. Then they we tell you that there were no rabbis until a hundred years after the time of Jesus. Its all about winning the argument to them not about what's true. The problem is not differences but similarities. You should know ALL the writers of the Christian Bible were Jews but one. Much of our Scriptures are shared. The vast majority of early believers in Jesus were Jews. So when you hear the exact opposite you need to keep that in mind. A Jew can believe in Jesus and still be a Jew. Edit: those that make personal accusations should include links or shut up.

Atheists are people who if they go to the grave rejecting the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior will not be with God in Heaven when they leave this earth. Just like everyone else, they have a God given conscience along with a knowledge of good and evil that helps them to make moral decisions.

Romans 2:14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, 15 since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.)

Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

Romans 5:6-8 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I have a friend who is gay and believes on god whole-heartedly.

Lot's of people believe in a "god" of some sort or other. People who believe in the God of the Bible who created them have a desire to live a life that is pleasing to Him.

Matthew 19:4 "Haven't you read," Jesus replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' 5 and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? 6 So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."

Paganism is simply believing in different deities.

Such beliefs are "evil" to the extant that they will not lead to eternal life.

According to the Bible, if you do not accept Jesus Christ into your life, you will go to hell when you die. So, ultimately- and it's sad to say- Atheists would go to hell for the rest of eternity. But, as a Christian, I do not think that Atheists have no goals and values and do whatever all the time. The only real difference between Christians and Atheists is salvation. I have plenty of friends who are atheists, and they are the most goal oriented people I know. So, to answer your question, no, there is no correlation between Atheism and morals. Just depends on the person.

Any one who is of The True Christian Faith should know enough to state this:...

Atheists are no different in their degree of morality that the rest of the human population... there are moral ones, and immoral ones

Homosexuals have EXACTLY the same opportunity to come to God as He prescribes as any other sinner.... the sad difference is that most homosexuals want a special deal just for them... and that ain't going to happen.

any activity involving the forces of evil is against God..... ALL variations of witchcraft/paganism(including all degrees of wicca) are against The Word and Will of God... and keep those involved with such practices separated from God......But...... those who are, or have been, involved in such practices have EXACTLY the same opportunity to come to God as ALL other sinners...... if they honestly come to seek The Truth as God prescribes.......

Those of The True Church will be called(Raptured) by Christ to meet him in the air... and will be taken by Christ to Heaven..... Those who are sleeping(mortal death) will rise first... and then those who are still on earth will rise to follow.......... Yes The Rapture will occur...... the when is not known

There is a lot more to it..... but ALL of The True Christian Faith will be in agreement with the above

2010-09-20 12:19:10 UTC

No. I do not stereotype atheist, If I had I would not have garnered the great friendships I enjoy with my neighbors.

that is being shallow and biggotted to think they are immorale, however, I don't make apologies for the word of God, God will do what He said He would do and anyone christian, atheist or not can like it or don't.

Why should someone think God does not love a homosexual? they are still his children and He loves all. Many have that lifestyle, but still love God, this is between them and God and not open to judgement from anyone. My own daughter is gay, but that is about her, and not me. She loves God. Better for them to love God than hate him because they have a weakness in the flesh.

Paganism/withcraft. don't be deceived, go to the word of God, it is idolatry, and there are evils in it

many do worship the devil and many do not, either way, God told us not to. We are to worship only him. We should not judge them and respect them the way we want to be respected and love them just the same as atheist, homosexuals and all others, we need to learn to mind our own business.

I don't believe in the rapture, it is not so in the word of God as it is written in truth, it is a theory by a mad woman, margaret mcdonald, look it up.

You are not offending me, but I do get offended by those who judge and point fingers and think themselves better, Christ never behaved like that.

Thanks for your question.

No offense taken. I most def don't think those ways (except for the homosexuality statement. You can believe in God but if you are not living a life for Him then it's kind of like what's the point.) I don't have anything against people that are gay, bi, trans ( i have a few friends that are gay)....it's just the lifestyle I don't agree with.

and yes i believe in the rapture. nobody knows (not even Jesus Christ) when it will happen except for God.

2010-09-20 12:18:42 UTC

i believe atheists can be moral people, so that rejects your own stereotype

however, an atheist has to be a propagator of lies in order to conclude there is no God.

homosexuals have the right to believe in God and many do!

but in order to believe that God sanctions the life style of sodomy and even fornication, they are abhorently in error.

witchcraft and paganism are not actually the same thing. but then again there are people who make the mistake that water divinination is a form of witchcraft;, which such people are in error also.

i believe chrisitianity is filled with superstitions and false theology that make them almost more guilty of paganism and idolatry than pagans themselves.

i am a witness of Jesus, I know there is a God.

my personal studies of theology prove to me that most of the world is WRONG in their beliefs and practices of religions.

however, no one is wrong is seeking righteousness, and forsaking sin.

Nope. They're just stupid old testament Christians, who completely ignore Jesus, and go straight to thinking you have to "earn" heaven. So whatever they read about in the old testament, which was overruled by the new testament which says just to accept Jesus and we get eternal life, they believe. I understand you think only christians do this but so do some athiests. Some Christians like to talk s*it but on the other hand some Athiests like to sit around talk about how awful religious people are for thinking about Pagans, homosexuals, etc. (which I'm not against in any way) in a bad way.

I believe that atheists are completely capable of living moral lives. I do not believe they can explain why they do so.

Regarding homosexuality, you can be Christian and have homosexual tendencies, but you cannot act on them.

I believe Paganism is false and as such not ethical.

I do not believe in rapture as defined by American Evangelicals.

A lot of christians think it's evil, but it really isn't

As far as I know, all Christians believe that is evil.

Christians agree with what GOD Has Declared or Stated. Only what GOD, The ONLY Moral Authority, Says counts or matters. So, if that puts you in direct opposition to GOD, then there are consequences. Outside of us wearing Yeshua/Jesus' Robe Of Righteousness, there is none good.....not one. Believing in anyone other than Yeshua/Jesus is believing wrong. If you don't know this now---you will in the distant future. Romans 3 (Amplified Bible)

10As it is written, None is righteous, just and truthful and upright and conscientious, no, not one. Psalm 14 (Amplified Bible)

3They are all gone aside, they have all together become filthy; there is none that does good or right, no, not one.

Jeremiah 17 (Amplified Bible)

9The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly perverse and corrupt and severely, mortally sick! Who can know it [perceive, understand, be acquainted with his own heart and mind]?

Isaiah 64 (Amplified Bible)

6For we have all become like one who is unclean [ceremonially, like a leper], and all our righteousness (our best deeds of rightness and justice) is like filthy rags or a polluted garment; we all fade like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away [far from God's favor, hurrying us toward destruction].

Matthew 13 (Amplified Bible) 15For this nation's heart has grown gross (fat and dull), and their ears heavy and difficult of hearing, and their eyes they have tightly closed, lest they see and perceive with their eyes, and hear and comprehend the sense with their ears, and grasp and understand with their heart, and turn and I should heal them.

16But blessed (happy, fortunate, and [a]to be envied) are your eyes because they do see, and your ears because they do hear.

17Truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous men [men who were upright and in right standing with God] yearned to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

Mark 7 (Amplified Bible) 21For from within, [that is] out of the hearts of men, come base and wicked thoughts, sexual immorality, stealing, murder, adultery,

22Coveting (a greedy desire to have more wealth), dangerous and destructive wickedness, deceit; [a]unrestrained (indecent) conduct; an evil eye (envy), slander (evil speaking, malicious misrepresentation, abusiveness), pride ([b]the sin of an uplifted heart against God and man), foolishness (folly, lack of sense, recklessness, thoughtlessness).

23All these evil [purposes and desires] come from within, and they make the man unclean and render him unhallowed.

Ephesians 4 (Amplified Bible) 20But you did not so learn Christ!

21Assuming that you have really heard Him and been taught by Him, as [all] Truth is in Jesus [embodied and personified in Him],

22Strip yourselves of your former nature [put off and discard your old unrenewed self] which characterized your previous manner of life and becomes corrupt through lusts and desires that spring from delusion;

23And be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude],

24And put on the new nature (the regenerate self) created in God's image, [Godlike] in true righteousness and holiness.

People choose to scratch things out of the Bible just because they think "oh that was added in and God doesn't care." It was not added in. It was inspired BY GOD HIMSELF! Written BY GOD THROUGH man.

Did you know that even criminals plotting their next crime think themselves to be moral? The reason is that when you get to make up your own rules (i.e. values we come up with and follow independently), then we never break the rules. If we get to make our own rules and change them as we wish, then whatever we do will always be the moral thing to do.

ROMANS 12:9 Love must be 9 without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil, cling to what is good. 12:10 Be devoted to one another with mutual love, showing eagerness in honoring one another. 12:11 Do not lag in zeal, be enthusiastic in spirit, serve the Lord. 12:12 Rejoice in hope, endure in suffering, persist in prayer. 12:13 Contribute to the needs of the saints, pursue hospitality. 12:14 Bless those who persecute you, bless and do not curse. 12:15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 12:16 Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty but associate with the lowly. 10 Do not be conceited. 12:17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil; consider what is good before all people. 12 12:18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all people.12:19 Do not avenge yourselves, dear friends, but give place to God’s wrath, 14 for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 12:20 Rather, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing this you will be heaping burning coals on his head. 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Romans 14:5 One person regards one day holier than other days, and another regards them all alike. Each must be fully convinced in his own mind. 14:6 The one who observes the day does it for the Lord. The one who eats, eats for the Lord because he gives thanks to God, and the one who abstains from eating abstains for the Lord, and he gives thanks to God. 14:7 For none of us lives for himself and none dies for himself. 14:8 If we live, we live for the Lord; if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. 14:9 For this reason Christ died and returned to life, so that he may be the Lord of both the dead and the living.

14:10 But you who eat vegetables only – why do you judge your brother or sister? And you who eat everything – why do you despise your brother or sister? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God. 14:11 For it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will give praise to God.” 14:12 Therefore, each of us will give an account of himself to God.

14:13 Therefore we must not pass judgment on one another, but rather determine never to place an obstacle or a trap before a brother or sister.14:16 Therefore do not let what you consider good be spoken of as evil. 14:17 For the kingdom of God does not consist of food and drink, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. 14:18 For the one who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by people. 14:19 So then, let us pursue what makes for peace and for building up one another. 14:22 The faith you have, keep to yourself before God. Blessed is the one who does not judge himself by what he approves. 14:23 But the man who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not do so from faith, and whatever is not from faith is sin.
