Why do evangelicl christians say all religions like african animism, taoism, are fals
Many evangelical(born again Christians) say that faiths like Shintoism, Catholicism, Buddhism, etc are false, because they don't believe in Jesus, but they do NOT ever say that about Judaism, which also rejects Jesus. Why do they call these other faiths false but not Judaism? Moreover, who're they to judge a faith as false or true, just b/c it's different from theirs?
They are parroting. Just repeating what they hear. If they actually read the Word, it says in Job 12, "Ask now the beasts and they will teach you, and the birds of the sky and they will teach you, or the Earth and it will teach you, and the fishes of the sea will declare it, (God's Glory), unto you." And for those who will claim that is Old Testament not Christianity. When they told Jesus to tell his Disciples to be quiet, (stop preaching). Jesus said, "If I did, the stones themselves would cry out!"
Some evangelical Christians DO speak out against Judaism, because they consider everyone who doesn't accept Jesus to be follow false religion.
However, Jesus himself was a Jew, and Jews are widely understood to be following the same god as Christians follow (as well as Muslims), so in the eyes of Christians they've at least got the right deity, even if they fail to acknowledge Jesus.
Moreover, many evangelicals are anxiously awaiting the End Times, and according to Revelations the Jews play a role in it. If there were no Jews, then the End Times could never happen.
Well first of all Catholics DO believe in Jesus. All but the most bigoted and backwards Evangelical Christians accept Catholicism.
To answer your question though, the reason that evangelical Christians don't attack the Jewish faith is that Jesus was a Jew, and that the Evangelical Christians accept the Jewish writings as part of their Bible. This means that Evangelical Christians can't attack the Jewish writings without attacking their own Bible. Christianity is in many ways, and was for a long time considered to be, either a reformed (or heretical) Jewish sect. Christianity is Judaism 2.0, and Judaism is Christianity 1.0 this is why they support Israel. The Bible says the Jews are God's chosen people, and they believe the Bible.
Well, Jews (and Muslims, for that matter) worship the same God as Christians: the God of Abraham. Each of these religions has a different understanding of our God, but we can hardly deny that it's the same God given the historical circumstances. (Groups of Christians that argued the Christian God was a different one from the God of the Old Testament were considered heretical and disassociated from the mainline Christian church very early.)
As to the larger question, I think it's much easier for most people to claim their side of any question is right, and therefore the other sides are wrong, than to acknowledge that both might have different portions or different views of the truth. We see this in the followers of football teams; is it any surprise that we see it also in religion?
Personally, I think the practice is dangerous in that it can lead a person to have faith, not in their God, but in their own rightness. The next step is to start expecting God to endorse our opinions rather seeking to obey God. (For example, some Christians are "defending" the institution of marriage by attempting to denigrate and destabilize families headed by same-sex couples, and they regard this as God's will even though it victimizes the children of those families.)
Furthermore, Jesus specifically taught otherwise. In Luke 10, he explicitly tied the command to love our neighbors the way we love ourselves to an explanation of "neighbor" that included someone of a different religious view, one bitterly opposed by his audience.
In addition to self-righteousness, there is another danger: abuse of the mind by continual practice of sloppy thinking. Most arguments against other religions are of the "straw man" variety, wherein people take up some statement, interpret it in their own way, and then argue against that interpretation. A more honest examination (and a more loving one, which again is commanded us) would perhaps raise a question along the lines of, "How then do you deal with thus-and-so?"
The Bible itself says all the world will be deceived and Christians are not immune to this deception.
Jesus himself was a Jew, so Christianity could not exist without Judaism.
Christianity is based on the teaching of the Holy Bible, this book is the Christians handbook for life.
It tells us to 'judge not, lest we be judged' therefore it is wrong for a Christian to state what is or is not a true religion because they are taking the position of judge. The Bible tells them that 'judgment is mine, says the Lord' so many of today's Christians can get it wrong.
Centuries of human intellect has gone into interpreting the Bible so that we can use it to meet our own agendas. The Crusades for instance were carried out on such teaching and school of thought.
Whatever a person believes is their foundation, it's what holds them up, it's wrong to try and bring them down.
It's not what Christ taught, He said 'suffer the little children to come unto me' Christians are generally taught that this means 'their' children.
Stretch your imagination and think about children. Children say and do things and act the way they do because they don't know any better until they learn. People who worship material things etc are just like children, the living Christ knows all about them, and will in due course make himself known to them, but not necessarily by having an Evangelical running them down for what they currently practise.
It's just that Evangelicals believe (it is their foundation) that this is what they are supposed to do,
