Top 10 Reasons You Know You're Christian

10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Bibical claim that we were created from dirt.

8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/ Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, AND TREES!

6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended to the sky.

5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesman sitting in their tents and guessing that the Earth is a few generations old.

4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs - though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering and yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving".

3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tounges" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.

2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers and consider it to be evidence that prayer works. You also think that the remaining 99.99% failure was simply the will of God.

AND THE #1 REASON YOU KNOW YOU'RE CHRISTIAN!!

You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian.


suck it religion!
forgot the source

 

Nope. No outrage here. I can have a difference of opinion without getting mad.

Nope. I feel pretty okay, no matter which way it is. I kind of think the Garden of Eden story is more about proving a point. I'm not a literalist.

Nope, I don't laugh at other people's beliefs.

No, I did flinch, and I had to look up the Bible studies on these stories. Again, since I'm not a literalist, I believe these stories are more about proving a point than condoning waste of human life.

Nah. I can't laugh at other peoples beliefs. That really is just ignorant.

Nope. Not a literalist. Sorry. *shrugs* Sentiment over semantics, know what I mean? Numbers usually represent something else (aka Biblical Numerology).

Since I'm not really sure about that, I don't really swing one way or the other. Telling someone they're going to hell is useless and ends in bickering. I've never seen it save anyone.

One day every tongue will confess He is G-d, One day every knee will bow. This is in the Bible. That's why I don't choose to argue with people who apply this to mean that we will all be saved. Because I really don't know...

No WAY, dude. I've seen people fake that stuff. I'm not saying I think it's completely bogus, but it's hardly proof in relation to the real world.

Well, prayer *does* work. There have been studies on it. What I can't explain, though, is why it works for EVERYONE, no matter what faith they are... Even people who haven't any faith at all can think positively and have a profound effect on their life. *shrugs* I can't explain it.

I would hope not. But then again, I have a lot of atheist and agnostic friends, so if they share something I didn't know, I feel grateful that my friends are so intelligent and that our relationship bonds are so strong that admitting lack of knowledge doesn't mean automatic defeat. I don't *have* to be perfect and know everything. I just have to keep on learning during my existence here on earth... I shouldn't stop until the breath leaves my body.

So, what now? I failed the test... I'm not a Christian.

*cries profusely*

....

J/K.

 

HAHA! I couldn't begin to tell you how many times I've had to correct so-called christians about their own beliefs.

 

Yes, 15 year old kids are known for their wisdom and Religeous expertise.

 

I'm obviously a Christian.

 

God didn't slaughter those babies. The Pharoah ordered them killed.

 

I'm afraid you're mistaken, Erise, if you mean "ordered" as a direct command to kill first-born children in the land. If you mean that he might as well have ordered it because he didn't heed G-d's warnings, I agree with that.

In Exodus, Moses warned Pharoah of the plagues that G-d would send through the land unless the Jewish people were released. The Angel of Death was sent as the last plague, meaning all the others had come to fruition (ironically, those plagues were sent in the forms of the things the Egyptians worshiped as gods).

All households which were not covered under the blood of a lamb (a symbol of the Lamb Who Was To Come & be the perfect and final sacrifice needed) would pay the price with every first-born child within the household.

Let's not forget, though, that a father's child is still his child, whether they are four or forty. Likewise with the Heavenly Father. Not only "babies" died, but every single person who was the first fruit of their mother's womb. So, in a respect, it's actually more devastating, because it means that the numbers of dead were probably higher than most would imagine.

Not good. The Egyptians were already outnumbered by the Jews... Which is what allowed the noble ones to enjoy their lavish lifestyle. Every one of those people could have a personal slave, maybe even two and three. In other words, it was a sweet deal for the oppressor. Why would they wanna give that up willingly?

This is what the Jewish people remember in the holy feast of Passover. It isn't only a celebration of G-d sparing the Jewish people from the Angel of Death and allowing them passage to the Promised Land, it's also a reminder that deliberate disobedience can be catastrophic in frightening proportions.

 

But if he didn't allow it, you guys would jump on us, saying, "THEN GOD DOESN'T WANT US TO HAVE FREE WILL!"

 

chrisitanity is cool

i'm gonna join
rape a lot of women
steal and sell babies
& destroy domains
long as i dont kill anybody

i'll just go to confession & do it again





u may not laugh at other's beliefs, but all devotion to "God" does not allow them to be taken seriously.

 

what is it they say??? AMEN!!!!

 

Catholic church's fault. Not God's. I don't exactly agree with what they did in the past, either, but, I can't change the past.

 

And christians are known for their ignorance. Age does not merit wisdom, remember that.

 

Oh, and I guess you're Mr. Theologen, eh?

Tell me, what is Christianity about, and Christianity's no. 1 commandmant?

what are the 5 pillars of Islam?

And what's the eight fold path?

I love you!

 

Christianity is the path taught by Jesus Christ

There is not #1 commandment, a lier is as bad as a murderer. Though if you mean the first commandment, its "have no other gods".

the pillars and the path, I can't remember. I do go to church with my parents, I am not completely dumb on the subject. Also I was refering to the type of Christians that think Sadom and Gamora (spelling?) were husband and wife. I'm not going to claim to know everything, far from it. But too many Christians do, and in reality, they have no idea of what they are even worshipping.

 

Yeah, that's true. Many Christians have some idolatry going on. Like lovers and all that. I need to get rid of some too...

There is a # 1 commandmant though:

You must love the LORD our G-d.

the seconed is:

You must love your neighbor as yourself.

ciao!

 

No.

"Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee HATH THE GREATER SIN." John 19:11. If there is a greater sin, all sins are not the same.

"Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men." Matthew 12:31. Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost will not be forgiven - that sin is therefore not equal to all other sins.

All sin is not equal in the eyes of God. For example, Proverbs 6:16-19 lists seven sins that the Lord particularly hates, including "hands that shed innocent blood." And the Bible makes it very clear that idolatry is a sin that is especially heinous in the eyes of God (Exodus 20:3-5).

Pot calling the kettle black?

 

alright, I was wrong. But look at it this way, if all it takes is one sin to send you to hell, does it really matter which one that would be? I hope that made sense, but please if you disagree, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

 

on that note. thats one part i never understood in the bible. moses was denied entrance into the promise land because he credited himself with gods work right? he messed up one time and he was denied. so why do we get second chances but moses didnt?

 

What a loving and caring god, huh?

also though, I thought it was because he was told to talk to a rock to get water, but instead he struck it with his staff...I dunno, its been years since I heard that story.....

 

no. what happened was, god told moses to strike the rock to get water, and he did. but then, the chosen people asked, "who do we thank?" and moses said, "Me of course!"
