agreed 100%

 

That's right. Go forth. Spread the Word. Teach. Educate. But do not judge.

 

It's a start.

 

Actually I didn't want to get technical, but since you ask, why should I solicit my religions to others? Jesus said alot of stuff, after I tell you to f-off 10 times, you'd think there was a point to be recieved somewhere, no? I feel as a good catholic that I have alot of freedom and God loves me no matter how much I f-up, he owes me some answers to so call it even Steven.

Don't be all bitter because I voiced another freedom, that bieng of speech, and so who cares if it doesn't coincide with you're principals. "Hey God, will you forgive me? Yup, ok, thanks". That was pretty simple if you ask me.

 

 

Thanks Stealth

 

That pic actually fit just right.

 

The best Christian people I know show they are Christians by how they live their lives, (by example). They are not outwardly judgemental.
When I was a kid I attended a Baptist church. One Sunday I was talking in church. A Deacon came up, grabbed me, took me to the basement, shook me and said, " I think the devil has a hold of you!" I said, "I think he does too!!!!"

 

There sure seem to be a lot of Judgemental "Christians" hanging around on this board, that's for sure..

 

"Thank you guys! Your attempts at getting me to question my faith, has only made it stronger. Searching for scripture has been a blessing."

Great! That's the whole point...not to rub beliefs into someones face, but to generate some curiosity. God is seeking every one of us, and if we listen instead of running our mouths, his plan is quite simple.

As far as judging goes, no one has the authority to judge another. Of course it happens all the time, but it's still wrong. I believe it is ok to interpret someone's actions and tell them if they're wrong or right, but as far as judging someone, and telling them where they are or aren't going, absolutely not. No one can.

 

I don't believe in this Christian hee-bee jee-bee stuff

 

This photo is one of the funniest and most accurate I have seen in a post in a long time. On the road to heaven or hell the ride is rough to some, fun to others. I dont think Jesus was going around telling people they were going to hell because he was busy trying to save them from it. Kinda hard to judge and save at the same time. If you have no sins you can throw all the stones you like but...

If you believe, anyone can repent up to their death, nobody but God knows who will go where, and what the consequences of their actions or inaction after death will be.

 

 

"Sheol", in the old testament of the King James Bible, has been translated to mean "Hell" 31 times and "the grave" 31 others. It is believed that, in reality, the concept of Hell, in the Old Testament, did not exist prior to the writing of the New Testament.

The Hebrew Bible does not refer to Hell... to this day. The Jews did not have the concept of Hell in their religion. This was introduced by those who wrote the New Testament some 300 years after Christ's death. It's likely that it is a pagan idea derived from Roman influence, and the Pagan belief systems of the time. Punishment and reward after death were big parts of many Pagan religions.

Without the influence of the Roman Empire, the spead of Christianity, and the formation of the Catholic Church, would likely not have happened. The Protestant religion that followed would not have been, had it not.



"The world is full of false Prophets. Christianity is a superstition."

 

... and Jews didn't kill Jesus. There's irrefutable, undeniable proof! He was crucified w/3 nails right?!
Jews wouldn've only used 1.


Anyone played this game yet?
