I’m not trying to control what anyone believes,but I am going to respond when someone says that anyone who is not a Christian is under the dominion of satan. Mind my own business? Really?
People are free to believe in Jesus if they wish but when they make foolish statements that non-Christians (the Jews)are under the control of Satan you can darn well believe I am going to interject.
I am doing my own thing and I do not wish to be told I am wrong,that I have a void and that I am having a battle with G-d because I do not accept Jesus. Saying those things is not only wrong,it’s obnoxious,rude and arrogant.
You don’t see Jews (whose religion and Bible came 2,000 years before,BTW) pushing Judaism on Christians,do you? We don’t have this belief that we are right and that everyone else is wrong or that one needs to be Jewish in order to be “saved”. That is one thing that attracted me to Judaism.
Speaking of religious freedom,you have the right to believe as you do but you don’t have the right to push it on others and attempt to get them to convert to your religion. We do have freedom of speech but there are times when a person has to back off and keep their religion to themselves.
Religion is a private matter between the believer and G-d. Didn’t Jesus tell people to pray in secret and not flaunt their religion?
Matthew 5:6
But when you pray, go into your room,close the door and pray to your Father,who is unseen.Then your father,who sees what is done in secret,will reward you.
Some Jews have goofy beleifs from my point of view, but I am not a Jew and it’s not up to me to
harass them about it. I love Jewish people and I support Israel. It’s a free country. This is a privately owned forum. Mr Robinson is a Christian. He’s not a peagan.
Christians are not going into closets to speak about Jesus and to pray to Him to make you happy. They are not going to change their beliefs to make you happy just like you would not do that to make them happy. That’s life.
Christians talk about the disagreements they see among the churches and I learn from reading their discussion. We talk about our faith on this forum with other Christians and we pray for one another or anyone who asks for prayers, too. Christians don’t look to harm you nor to gain your approval.
I’m sorry you don’t like the idea that Jesus said the only way to God is through him. You be secure in what your religion tells you and don’t pay attention to the Christian faith when it upsets you. Be happy and secure in what you have now. When you are secure in your faith, it won’t hurt your feelings and make you furious when you stumble into a Christian conversation about the Messiah and salvation.
God Bless you. Nice chatting with you. :)
