    Fundamentalist Christianity is fear-based?

    Well if God is infinite, then why wouldn't the infinite include everything into itself as itself? He's omnipresent therefore he's in hell too. Christians think those in Hell are separated from God but if God is everywhere...

    Fundamentalist Christianity is fear-based?

    Christians bash other Christains because some Christians believe they are true Christians. Some Christian protestant told me denomination doesn't matter and so I then said, "Ok, then Mormons are also Christians." He quickly objected. They can't even get on the same page

    Fundamentalist Christianity is fear-based?

    Since you believe in what you believe, then you must also believe in objective morality. You said, "Hell exists for people that treat their brothers in evil ways, and to them that deny aid to the needy, and to them that deny Jesus." What I consider good, could be considered evil by someone else. [

    Fundamentalist Christianity is fear-based?

    First off, we are all going to hell in someone's eyes. Honestly to me the whole idea of heaven and hell is like the carrot and the stick. I cannot wrap my mind around how one could consider themselves to be 'saved without them looking down on anyone else who doesn't believe what they believe...

    Protestants view New Agers as heretics and Catholics view Protestants as heretics

    I remember I was conversing with my sister in law who is Christian and pro life. I told her it's a contradiction that God is love but also killed so many people in the Old Testament. She tried using the metaphor of punishing your kids when they do something bad and I told her that it's still...

    I forgot to leave this last part. I had a debate with a Christian family member last. He's Protestant baptist and I pointed out to him that the Catholics consider him as a heretic. He said the denomination doesn't matter. So then I told him ok then if denomination doesn't matter then the Mormons...

    Protestants view New Agers as heretics and Catholics view Protestants as heretics

    I guess not, my point is just that anytime anyone claims they have the absolute truth, they separate themselves from everyone else who doesn't see it the same. It gives them a sense of feeling special. Christians commonly say that Chrisitanity is the absolute truth but it doesn't stop there...

    Protestants view New Agers as heretics and Catholics view Protestants as heretics

    None of us can help to not stereotype. I totally get what you're saying. There's truth to stereotypes but they're not aabsolute. I guess it's just how the words come out, I can't type up the perfect response free of errors or bias, no human being can. I have met Christians who aren't...

    Protestants view New Agers as heretics and Catholics view Protestants as heretics

    It's funny that I get called out for generalizing Christians or belittling them when they do the same to me. I get told I'm lost and that I'm a Godless heretic, etc. Etc. (Some guy Mantis here said New Age is all BS.) They look down on me because they think they're saved and I'm not. I don't...

    Protestants view New Agers as heretics and Catholics view Protestants as heretics

    Your argument is equally valid as mine, the difference is that I don't claim to pass off anything I say as absolute truth am merely sharing a point of view. Christians on the other hand, not so much. You will never hear say a Christian say, "I don't know anything at the end of the day." Because...

    Protestants view New Agers as heretics and Catholics view Protestants as heretics

    I think New Age gets a bad rap like anything else. Yes, when you start talking about "manifesting your earthly desires" or "opening your third eye", even I think that's bs. Spirituality is a loaded word just like 'God' is. People will attach crystals, horns, wings, and all sorts of stuff to...

    Protestants view New Agers as heretics and Catholics view Protestants as heretics

    Has it ever bothered you how certain denominations within Christianity will claim that they have the correct interpretation, truth, etc. and all the rest are wrong? And on a bigger scale how every religion claims that -it- knows the truth and the rest are wrong? Yes, I get that Jesus was the...

    Protestants view New Agers as heretics and Catholics view Protestants as heretics

    Just frustrated because I just came to the bitter truth for the first time these past few days that everyone is a heretic to someone else. It all started with looking into Catholicism after me and a Catholic friend were debating a Protestant. I didn't even know the other guy is Protestant or...

    Protestants view New Agers as heretics and Catholics view Protestants as heretics

    By saying, "If you're the kinda person that can't let go of an attitude of "The Bible is just circular reasoning", you have absolutely zero desire for God, or to know anything about Him at all so ..... what is the point?" You're indirectly it is circular reasoning at least without providing any...

    Protestants view New Agers as heretics and Catholics view Protestants as heretics

    It is futile for me to embrace Christ as my savior because Christians still condemn one another regardless of proclaiming Christ their savior or not. I personally think Christianity is about becoming more Christ-like. In a way I save myself because I come to Jesus to save me. It is my decision...

    Protestants view New Agers as heretics and Catholics view Protestants as heretics

    Maybe it feels like everything opposes Christianity because Christians consider themselves to know the truth, essentially separating themselves from those who do not believe the same. Whenever you say, "I know the truth", that just leads to more bigotry. I don't even have to bring up examples of...

    Protestants view New Agers as heretics and Catholics view Protestants as heretics

    I see what you are doing with that question of, "Is Jesus the savior of men?"..you're using it as an umbrella for all Christians. However Christians also have more than enough arguments with one another and there's other Christians who will consider you unChristian regardless of whether you...

    Believers and nonbelievers are really two sides of the same coin just like atheists and theists. You cannot have one without the other no more than you can have day without night.

    Protestants view New Agers as heretics and Catholics view Protestants as heretics

    I can answer how I want whether you think I'm deflecting or not. My answer is a question(s) back for you: Why is Jesus the Savior of men? Because the Bible says so? Is that not circular thinking? It doesn't matter if I give you a one word answer because you know what, there will still be other...
