why is christianity areligion of confusion.why christians themselves are not sure bou
why is bible being changed regularly.who allowed people to change words of god in bible.who are the 3 gods of Christians.why Christians are supporting and spreading and practicing terrorism.why Christians are habitual in threatening the innocents and interfering in others matters.why Christians are so jealous a nation.i dint want to degrade anyone but its a matter of fact.why......so many whey's in my mind .Pl answer every question.
hum, bible is not changed regularly. the original one i dunno is not shown to public because it would raise a lot of issues that would be controversial to what the catholic church wants the public to believe in.
Your intelligence never ceases to amaze yo mama right? You must have Christianity CONFUSED with another religion. Yo talking about terrorists. Christians aren't terrorists, they don't threaten innocents and inter fer in other matters.
Many people call themselves Christians. Before you categorize all Christians remember this. Our Lord Jesus never taught His followers to do any of the such. Anyone can call him/herself a christian. The bible says that even Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light and his followers claim to be teachers of righteousness. There are not three gods rather One God expressed in 3 personalities. Still one God. It is a very spiritual understanding and those who are close-minded will never grasp it. Your question is quite stereo-tyical though! I might ask you why do all black people smoke crack? Or why do all native Americans use psychedelic drugs? Your question does not hold the weight of truth in it, rather yours and others stereo-typical view. If you want the true answers, do a little research in the bible. Than you shall be able to spot a true christian or fake one from a mile away!...josh
What bible are you talking about? Christians terrorizing who? Threatening innocents? You might want to explain this. I am a Christian and I have no idea what you are talking about here. If you clarify yourself a little better we might be able to give an intelligent answer.
I do not know Christians like the ones you are describing here, the Bible is not changed, it was translated, if things were 'lost in translation' I do not know but For me personally it is about faith, My faith is in God and I do not torture innocents. It all comes down to faith, You can be totally educated on the Bible and all things that go with it and still not have any faith, God does exist, Jesus did die for us and He was Ressurected. and a simple kids song can sum it all up, Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so. Why must everyone make it it so hard when it is really SSSSOOOO simple?If you are speaking of the war in IRAQ?? It is not a Christian war but, good Christians are over there dying to try and save people that want to be saved. the 3 Gods of Christions?? You must be speaking of the Holy Trinity which is the FATHER, SON and HOLY GHOST. the 3 are 1.
Not all religions could be true, for they all contradict one another, but the really TRUE religion must contradict ALL others.
MAN started out without false religion. Man?s Creator is the Archenemy of false religion. Man never got false religion from Him. Man?s history, as far back as the records of man go, has been marked by religion. The record reveals that early in man?s history he got involved in false religion, that is, the worship of a false god. False worship in the earth was wiped out by its Archenemy by means of a global flood, the only survivors being worshipers of man?s Creator, the Archenemy of false religion. That was 1,656 years after man?s creation on the earth.
After that flood destroyed the false coreligionists, man got started again without false religion. Again, since then, man?s history has been dominantly marked by religion. Secular history and archeology in all parts of the earth prove that fact, so that anti religious people cannot correctly say that man is not religious in his very makeup. However, both history and archeology prove that man?s form of worship has been largely false religion. Thus, historical fact proves that man has had to have his religion to satisfy his natural craving, even if it was false religion.
When one speaks of ?false? religion, it means that there is also a ?true? religion, a true form of worship of man?s Creator, the Archenemy of false religion. So why are there so many false religions?
Many factors have contributed to the development of new religious groups. Some have said that the various religions all represent different ways of presenting religious truth. But a comparison of their teachings and practices with the Bible indicates, rather, that the diversity of religions is because people have become followers of men instead of listening to God. It is noteworthy that, to a large extent, teachings they hold in common, but that differ from the Bible, originated in ancient Babylon.
Who is the instigator of such religious confusion? The Bible identifies Satan the Devil as ?the god of this system of things.? (2 Cor. 4:4) It warns us that ?the things which the nations sacrifice they sacrifice to demons, and not to God.? (1 Cor. 10:20) How vitally important, then, to make sure that we really are worshiping the true God, the Creator of heaven and earth, and that our worship is pleasing to him!
Are all religions acceptable to God?
If a person worships any thing or any person other than the true God, the Creator of heaven and earth, it is evident that his form of worship is not acceptable to Jehovah. (See Judges. 10:6, 7)
Regardless of whom a group profess to worship, if they hold to doctrines of men instead of the inspired Word of God, their worship is in vain. (See Mark 7:6, 7)
People may have God?s written Word but lack accurate knowledge of what it contains, because they have not been taught properly. They may feel that they are zealous for God, but they may not be doing what he requires. Their worship is not going to please God, is it? (See Rom. 10:2, 3)
Is it true that there is good in all religions?
Most religions do teach that a person should not lie or steal, and so forth. But is that sufficient? Would you be happy to drink a glass of poisoned water because someone assured you that most of what you were getting was water?
Here we are cautioned that not everything that originates with Satan may appear hideous. One of his chief methods of deceiving mankind has been false religion of all kinds, to some of which he gives a righteous appearance. (See 2 Corinthians. 11:14, 15)
2 Tim. 3:2, 5: ?Men will be . . . having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away.? (Regardless of their outward professions of love for God, if those with whom you worship do not sincerely apply his Word in their own lives, the Bible urges you to break off such association.)
What is the Bible?s viewpoint as to interfaith? Questions we should ask ponder on.
How did Jesus view religious leaders who pretended to be righteous but disrespected God? See John 8:42-47.
Would it demonstrate loyalty to God and to his righteous standards if his servants were to embrace in religious brotherhood those who themselves practice what God condemns or who condone such practices? See 1 Corinthians. 5:11; 6:9, 10; James. 4:4; & Psalm. 97:10.
Also consider please: 2 Cor. 6:14-17: ?Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship do righteousness and lawlessness have? Or what sharing does light have with darkness? Further, what harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what portion does a faithful person have with an unbeliever? And what agreement does God?s temple have with idols? . . . ??Therefore get out from among them, and separate yourselves,? says Jehovah, ?and quit touching the unclean thing??; ??and I will take you in.???
And Revelation. 18:4, 5: ?I heard another voice out of heaven say: ?Get out of her, my people, if you do not want to share with her in her sins, and if you do not want to receive part of her plagues. For her sins have massed together clear up to heaven, and God has called her acts of injustice to mind.??
Is belonging to an organized religion necessary?
Most religious organizations have produced bad fruit age. It is not the fact that groups are organized that is bad. But many have promoted forms of worship that are based on false teachings and are largely ritualistic instead of providing genuine spiritual guidance; they have been misused to control the lives of people for selfish objectives; they have been overly concerned with money collections and ornate houses of worship instead of spiritual values; their members are often hypocritical. Obviously no one who loves righteousness would want to belong to such an organization. But true religion is a refreshing contrast to all of that. Nevertheless, to fulfill the Bible?s requirements, it must be organized.
At Hebrews 10:24, 25 we see in order to carry out this Scriptural command, there must be Christian meetings that we can attend on a consistent basis. Such an arrangement encourages us to express love toward others, not only concern about self.
At 1 Corinthians 1:10, such unity would never be achieved if the individuals did not meet together, benefit from the same spiritual feeding program, and respect the agency through which such instruction was provided. See also John 17:20, 21.
1 Pet. 2:17: ?Have love for the whole association of brothers.? (Does that include only those who may meet together for worship in a particular private home? Not at all; it is an international brotherhood, as shown by Galatians 2:8, 9 and 1 Corinthians 16:19.)
Matt. 24:14: ?This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.? (For all nations to be given the opportunity to hear that good news, the preaching must be carried out in an orderly way, with suitable oversight. Love for God and for one?s fellowman has caused people around the earth to unite their efforts to do this work.)
How can a person know which religion is right?
(1) On what are its teachings based? Are they from God, or are they largely from men? (2 Tim. 3:16; Mark 7:7) Ask, for example: Where does the Bible teach that God is a Trinity? Where does it say that the human soul is immortal?
(2) Consider whether it is making known the name of God. Jesus said in prayer to God: ?I have made your name manifest to the men you gave me out of the world.? (John 17:6) He declared: ?It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.? (Matt. 4:10) Has your religion taught you that ?it is Jehovah you must worship?? Have you come to know the Person identified by that name?his purposes, his activities, his qualities?so that you feel you can confidently draw close to him?
(3) Is true faith in Jesus Christ being demonstrated? This involves appreciation of the value of the sacrifice of Jesus? human life and of his position today as heavenly King. (John 3:36; Ps. 2:6-8) Such appreciation is shown by obeying Jesus?sharing personally and zealously in the work that he assigned to his followers. True religion has such faith that is accompanied by works.?Jas. 2:26.
(4) Is it largely ritualistic, a formality, or is it a way of life? God strongly disapproves of religion that is merely a formalism. (Isa. 1:15-17) True religion upholds the Bible?s standard of morality and clean speech instead of weakly going along with popular trends. (1 Cor. 5:9-13; Eph. 5:3-5) Its members reflect the fruits of God?s spirit in their lives. (Gal. 5:22, 23) So, those who adhere to true worship can be identified because they sincerely endeavor to apply Bible standards in their lives not only at their places of meeting but in their family life, at their secular work, in school, and in recreation.
(5) Do its members truly love one another? Jesus said: ?By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.? (John 13:35) Such love reaches across racial, social, and national boundaries, drawing people together in genuine brotherhood. So strong is this love that it sets them apart as being truly different. When the nations go to war, who have enough love for their Christian brothers in other lands that they refuse to take up arms and kill them? That is what early Christians did.
(6) Is it truly separate from the world? Jesus said that his true followers would be ?no part of the world.? (John 15:19) To worship God in a manner that he approves requires that we keep ourselves ?without spot from the world.? (Jas. 1:27) Can that be said of those whose clergy and other members are involved in politics, or whose lives are largely built around materialistic and fleshly desires??1 John 2:15-17.
(7) Are its members active witnesses concerning God?s Kingdom? Jesus foretold: ?This good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.? (Matt. 24:14) What religion is really proclaiming God?s Kingdom as the hope of mankind instead of encouraging people to look to human ruler ship to solve their problems? Has your religion equipped you to share in this activity, and to do it from house to house as Jesus taught his apostles to do??Matt. 10:7, 11-13; Acts 5:42; 20:20.
for sure bible never ever change, people surround you the one make you confuse .so just hold unto him you will be OK.be wise and know which one the right one not easy but you can do it,
u must be confused Christians are not a nation.no one should change what the BIBLE says as it is GODs word and GOD warns people of this in revelations:18-19 IF ANYONE ADDS TO THESE THINGS ,GOD WILL ADD TO HIM THE PLAGUES THAT ARE WRITTEN IN THIS BOOK AND IF ANYONE TAKES AWAY FROM THE WORDS OF THE BOOK OF THIS PROPHECY,GOD SHALL TAKE AWAY HIS PART FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE,FROM THE HOLY CITY AND FROM THE THINGS THAT ARE WRITTEN IN THIS BOOK. Christians dint believe in 3 gods only one GOD and they believe in a peace full GOD who teaches them to LOVE ONE ANOTHER. The GOD of the bible is a tribune GOD 3 in one like an egg 3 parts the shell,the white and yolk but 1 egg.GOD the father, JESUS the son and Savior,and the HOLY SPIRIT 3 parts only 1 GOD.
feel free to email me if u wanna go deeper into this subject
p.s many people call themselves Christians and are not. The devil put himself across as a angel of light or a wolf in sheep's clothing.U will know a true christian by their fruits or actions. ANY christian who supports truism is not a true christian!!! the BIBLE teaches to LOVE ONE ANOTHER!
read the bible honey.
1 Corinthians 14:33
For GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, BUT OF PEACE, as in all churches of the saints.
CHRISTIANS ARE TERRIOSTS BOY ARE YOU BLIND. WE ARE NOT SUICIDE MISSION INNOCENT PEOPLE IN OFFICE BUILDINGS.
WE DO NOT GO AROUND AND TEACH 5 YR OLDS TO CARRY WEAPONS OF WAR LIKE OSAMA BIN LADEN. SADDAM HUSSEIN WHO KILL AND RAPE WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN THE NAME OF ALLAH.
Language changes constantly... new words are used and the antiquated is discarded so it is necessary to continue to update scripture to reflect the use of the current vernacular. There are not three Gods in Christianity... only one. There are three persons to that one God... Father, Son and Holy Ghost but all claiming to be one. Christians spreading terrorism is a new one on me. Haven't heard that, not preached in my church anyway... what church is practicing terrorism? Threatening innocents? what threats to innocent peoples from Christian people are you referring to. And what nation are you referring to as a jealous nation? If you mean the United States of America, you are not referring to a Christian Nation. It was Christian at one point in it's infancy, but no more. Her politicians have renounced connection with Jesus Christ and are not a true reflection of the Church. The nature of this democracy is to allow freedom to worship whatever you desire to wisp... and people worship anything under the sun in this country ... so I would not agree that you are talking about a Christian Nation when you refer to the United States. BTW i am a christian ... and I am very sure of my Christian beliefs.
So where is Satan in all of this?...You have been mislead, misinformed & deceived!..There is only ONE GOD! and GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION!...You don't know the difference between Satan's disciples & Jesus disciples? God's Word warned us Christians in (John 10:10) that the thief (Satan) comes to Steal, Kill, & Destroy"..steal the truth, kill the truth, & destroy the truth!...Stop listening to Satan, he's deceiving you!
i will try to answer your questions in turn
1. the bible was written in Greek and Hebrew. while the original text has not changed, new versions apply scholarship to interpret for those who do not speak the original languages. we do not hold the original languages to be sacred, but the message that they contain. 2. some versions try to change the meaning of the words, but such translations do not last, because they do not give life, they do not coincide with people's experience of God working in their lives 3. Christians believe in only one God, but he is revealed in three persons. it is important to understand that there is only one God, not three. we hold to the Old Testament and Jewish tradition of the she ma, "hear o Israel, the Lord your God, the Lord is One".
But this one God is revealed sometimes as Father, sometimes as Son, and sometimes as Holy Spirit. there is a lot more to be said on this issue and I would be happy to converse further. 4. I believe some Christians have a policy of support for Israel in the middle east that is very very wrong, because they think that supporting Israel will make Jesus come back sooner. they are just plain wrong. sometimes I think that it is American imperialism and nothing to do with following Jesus. 5 without knowing where and how you see Christians threatening innocents I cannot answer. i am really interested in your questions as they seem to come from the heart.
all I would say is that all westerners are not Christians. christian faith is not about which country you belong to but about a heart relationship with God through Jesus Christ. I hope this helps, and thank you for your questions.
To your question of changing the Word of God, it is wrong. I give you a quote from Revelation 22:19, "And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life...". This is quoted from the King James Version 1611 Bible, also read Rev.22:18.
I don't know anything about the accusations you are throwing at Christians, but I can say many people are being Miss-guided by Satan. If you want the truth, study to show thyself worthy, read the KJV 1611 Bible and find the answers for yourself; don't pay attention to the world, follow God's Word and pray, then you will find Truth.
Confused people ask why -
Most things listed are done by all types of people regardless of religious order or not.
Jealousy is in all people -some have better control of it.
My family were the only blacks in a white neighborhood - we were terrorized(dog was poisoned, attempts to burn down our home,etc.) by whites, because we lived there...but these same people were nice to each other. It just goes to show that it's not Christians causing all the problems -
There are lots of bibles out there so which one are you referring to - even devil worshipers have a bible! All bibles aren't Christian!
God is spirit - perhaps you have heard of what we call trinity? Within Christianity, the doctrine of the Trinity states that God is a single Being who exists, simultaneously and eternally, as a communion of three persons (personae, prosper): Father (the Source, the Eternal Majesty); the Son (the eternal Logos or Word, incarnate as Jesus of Nazareth); and the Holy Spirit. (Futher education in Christian belief may be of use to you - so a good debate can be made.)
Don't lump all of us Christians together - cause we all ain't terrorists - many of us don't support the war - but I do pray for our Nations,soldiers and everyone else to be safe and for their protection against all manner of evil - I am looking forward to the day when there will be no need for soldiers, high gas prices,any type of bigotry etc....
I don't know what you mean about the Bible being changed regularly. I think you are uninformed with what opinion I could make out in your question. I have been reading the Bible for a long time and as far as I know the message has stayed the same for all these years.
I really wish I could be some help to you but without understanding what you are saying, I am in the dark. I was really in the dark on the part about terrorism, where Christians threaten innocents, and a jealous nation. If you don't want to degrade anyone you might get your facts more in line before you put them in the form of a question. I don't want to degrade anyone either. But I really wish that I could understand where you are coming from. I am so sorry that I couldn't help.
God bless you and I wish peace in your life and hope in your future.
yes there is three god,god the father,god the son,and god the holy spirit.yes there are many interpretation of the bible,but the bible teaches only two rules to follow,love only one god and love your neighbors.now confuse at the old testament people talk to OD straight at the new testament Jesus came and through him we can become son of god the father.before Jesus died he said i will sent to you a comforter and he is going to Guido you and that's the holy spirit.he dwells in you.read the bible this will answer all your questions.
The Bible is not changed regularly, I believe you are thinking of the book of Mormon. One God Three aspects of same God.Real Christians do not support or practice terrorism.Real Christians would never threaten anybody or interfere in their affairs. We are not to be jealous and we are not a nation.
Any more questions email me @ BBB2165@YAHOO.COM
JOHN 1,1-3 says " In the beginning was the word(Jesus) and the word was with God and the word was God.
vs 2)He was in the beginning with God.
vs 3)All things came into being through him, and apart from him nothing came into being that has come into being.
If you are not a Christian, why are so flustered about Christians? I ask this question all the time, I sit
back and read question after question about people who
claim to atheist or whatever, and you can just sense the hate and fear. Their life wouldn't be complete unless their put down Jesus, or Christians, I think it's funny.
Can I ask where are your sources are from?
Christians and Terrorism? I think you must be a little confused. 3 Gods? Christians are not polytheist
Who's changing the Bible?
Do you think these things are keeping you from being a believer? Read the Bible and you will get the Truth and the Truth will set you Free!
Christianity isn't that. i am sure of my beliefs. Bible is not changed regularly, no one allowed, 3 gods?, not supporting terrorism, ask the terrorists, who threatened who? what matters? jealous of whom? you are degrading i think. AND I THINK YOU ARE NOT REFERRING TO CHRISTIANS BECAUSE, FYI, CHRISTIANS ARE THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DESCRIBING SO FAR. WHY?
I don't know where you have gotten this information, but you have been misinformed. The Bible has many translations, but they all basically say the same thing. It is not ever changing. The "3 gods" to which you are referring is probably the Trinity. The Christian God has three parts: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are all the same god. The Father is God, the deity. The Son is Jesus, the human form of God. The Holy Spirit is the part of God left on earth to remind us of God's love for us since he cannot physically be with us. They are different parts of the same God. And, as for the other things, I would really doubt that the people you speak of are actually Christians. I would not partake in any of those things you listed. Neither would my friends and family, many of who happen to be Christians. Just because someone says they are Christian doesn't make it so.
Well... I'm Catholic and must say that in fact, the Church Jerarchy (spelling) (because the church is all of us, not just the priests) has maDE hoodoosSSuring history (crusades, inquisition) and still does (covering pedophiles and condemning birth control), but it doesn't mean we all approve those actions. There have been writings that have been hidden from us for many centuries, what makes it harder to be certain about some facts of our history as well. It is a matter of fact that our church must be updated, not to make things "easier", but to humanize it.
But I personally think a real believer will not blindly believe everything he's told, but will question and think about all these things that happen... Jesus Himself tought us that the priests are not always right, that what really matters is to love your neighbor as yourself, and that's clearly written in the Bible!
About the three Gods.... well, it's kinda tricky to explain here, but i must say is that the Hole Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) is one only God, they teach that to us in Catholic schools for years!!
Hope it helps
PS: Catholic Church and all Christians condemn terrorism, no terrorist can call himself "christian" without lying; is like a fish calling itself rabbit
why is christianity areligion of confusion.why christians themselves are not sure bou
