I used to be christian, until my pastor began telling me how wrong everyone else in the world was. All i could think was, how can you be saying those people are wrong when they rely on faith just as you do? Does a buddist not have faith that his religion is true? And if someone who does not believe in jesus lives their life well, why should they be condemned? If a gay man is sweet and kind and thoughful, or just doesnt step on any toes, why should he burn in hell? Or a girl who made a mistake and in result chose to terminate her pregnancy, why must you all look down at her? I guess what I am asking is If your religion preachess love and truth why when good people do things that you disagree wiith, even when they hurt no one, do you feel the need to point and tell them how condemned they are. I thought god said, I give you the choice... why cant you people just let us choose.
One God.
One Son.
One Body (the church).
One Baptism.
One source of God's word (the Bible).
Just as Talaniman is certain that all religions are correct.
I am just as certain that there is only one true religion.
People were first called Christians in Antioch, this was the beginning of the one true church. Others who couldn't abide by the teachings of Christ spawned their own churches. Man made churches.
Unless we are with Christ, we are against Him.
And the only way that I can see why you would say that all religions are alike is because you don't really know what the true religion of God is. The only way to know is by reading the Bible.
Of course Christ extended His hand to sinners, that's what He came here for. That's what all Christians are here for, to bring unbelievers to God's word.
My question is what about the religions who don't even believe in Jesus? How can they all be the same? The common root they can be traced back to is Jesus. But if they have turned against Jesus and God's word, they can no longer be the same.

They are the same because they all require you to believe in something greater than yourself. The common root they can be traced back to is Jesus.
Actually they do not as man and his religion, predates Christ. But if they have turned against Jesus and God's word, they can no longer be the same.
Semantics, tradition, and dogma is a local thing. believing is God is personal. Man has always congregated together by agreement, and fought wars because of disagreement.
Why do you say this as if I am judging you. Is it because by accusing Christians as 'judging' everyone, you can justify your judging of Christians?
I do what God tells me to do, inform others about Christ. God will be doing the judging. Telling others is not judging. If it were then you are judging all Christians with your non belief. Doesn't really make any sense does it?
I feel the same way about your comments.
If someone comes on here who really wants an answer, then I will respond, but I think you and I might as well agree that you are not here for answers and we will never agree.
They all fight. Yes its a human thing. They do it in the name of God, and that too, is a human thing, which has little to do with God, but a lot to do with control.
Sorry if I came off as sarcastic, Not my intention.
Bottom line is your Pastor nor the congregation is going to 'save' you so you have to be sure in your own heart your relationship with God and your faith.
