How non believers may view Christian's.

[Nufan]

So tell me, why should I follow your God?And why should I follow your religion?And why should I follow after your institution?When the example that i'm getting here for the most part is named calling, blaming, people who are Sensitive and can't take honest criticism that I'm backing up with facts. Who are laughing and have vengeance towards me, its hypocrisy and bigoted behavior at its best.
Why would I want to follow that kind of God?Why would I want to follow an institution that produces an example like this? Tell me why should I.

.

All of this is false doctrine.

 

[Nufan]

All of this is false doctrine.

Including protestantism? Every one of the Christian institutions fall into one of these camps and that why they are all decisive and sow devision. Their fruit is not of god.

 

[ThereRoseaLamb]

So tell me, why should I follow your God?

Follow the God of the Bible.

And why should I follow your religion?

Follow Christ, who said "no man comes to the Father but by me."

And why should I follow after your institution?

Bible says "forsake not the assembling together."

When the example that i'm getting here for the most part is named calling, blaming, people who are Sensitive and can't take honest criticism
that I'm backing up with facts.

But it's not honest, it's your opinion. And you're free to share it. There are 210 million Christians give or take in America. You say "they are bigots". Well how many do you know personally?! If you want to say, "the Christians I have known personally do this or that, ok, fine." But to label people you don't even know and have never met is not honest criticism.

Why would I want to follow that kind of God?

Because God holds you accountable for your actions the same as everyone else. Worry about your own salvation and your own heart and if someone is wrong God will correct them. That isn't your job. You answer for you. And you're not perfect either.

I think the only Christian group I can honestly say has been loving, Kind, peaceful, understanding and patient towards me would be the Greek orthodox. But I can't excuse all the doctrines that has caused division through them. If I were to join a group I would most certainly join them. And it's very possible I may.

All those you mentioned? No, they are false doctrine. Christian means Christ follower, I am not ashamed of that Name, nor should anyone else be.

I agree with most of what your saying. Thank you.

It is easy to love someone that loves you. Why can't you love a bigot?

I believe that's the whole point is, if you're going to follow Christ you're loving towards everyone. I'm just going through a hard time and trying to figure some things out and I'm throwing a fit. My apologies.

Good! I am not saying Christians are perfect. But sometimes we focus too much on the negatives. Find a place where you feel is the best for you then set to winning the world for Christ. When people complain about Christians I say church is like a hospital. We all come broken in different degrees. Jesus is the healer, if we allow Him to be. But we don't focus on other Christians, we focus on Christ!! Humans will always fail in some manner. That is why we fix our eyes on Him and do not waver. And the more we all do that, the more unity we will find. But we have to get our eyes of others, ourselves and on Him!! I do home you find that place and then start ministering to those lost and in need.

Growing isn't always easy. Sometimes it's painful.But when we look back we see the lessons God taught us in the dry times. Then the rain comes and refreshes us again. It's ok to have growing pains.
