intolerant christians

i believe i quoted at least one verse where jesus discussed hell. i don't feel like scrolling back to find it though.

 

Well right now it is the Christians who are sending aid all over the world to help people, and it is Satans indulgence that is spreading aids.

 

Or you can say the specific truth: right now it is God who is sending aid all over the world to help people, and aids is a necessary and good part of our world- a gift from God that many do not completely understand (including myself, who can search out the ways of the Lord?).

 

. are you related to adolf hitler?. your comments remind me of a hitler speach .thank god he was stopped .yeah satan is doing his best to destroy this lovely planet earth one way or another . but believe me jesus saves . satan destroys. the holy spirit and archangels with the help of god will yet again bannish satan and he shall be chained up again. never underestimate the power of god ./peace/

 

just curious...do you christians view jesus, satan, god, ect. as actual entities or in a more symbolic manner?

is heaven and hell actual planes of existence? or a state of mind? just curious, cause symbolically i could better relate to what you speak of. but taking every biblical word literally is beyond what i can logically accept.

 

okay here's the deal. i don't think christians are inherantly intolerant, i don't think that they're inherantly tolerant of others either. there are good christians who interpret the teachings of christ as they are meant to be interpreted, and there are christians who use christianity and god as an excuse to hate and persecute those who are different from them. christ obviously had some very valueable teachings, but i don't think you need to accept him as the messiah to accept his lessons. i am an ex-jew current athiest who has his issues with both the old and new testament (and organized religion in general), but i think calling christians intolerant is just wrong, that is making you intolerant. when will we learn to accept each other regardless of religion? all of you please, please learn to love each other regardless of your beliefs!

 

My brother is one of these people. He is always tryin to SHOVE his beliefs down everyones throat. He thinks his way is the only way to get into heaven. I almost dont want to claim him because of this intolorence.

 

Because, I don't know about you, but I personally think that subjecting someone to the bible is a very harsh punishment (ok, maybe that's below the belt, but heck, i thought it was funny)
