The Hypocrisy of Christianity

[lakers17]

Why? ROTFLMAO Who cares? It's just another day. Or a you referring to 4 NBA play-off games today? Yep, that is a great day!

[SaltyMutt]

I hope all of you folks are having a fantastic Easter Sunday. This is truly a wonderful day!

[lakers17]

Per this threads rules, no preaching from the Christian nut jobs is permitted. Nor are videos. They are so predictable. LOL Many Christians think there are no other religions allowed or beliefs allowed. A very intolerant religion and why it sucks among millions who have died becasue of these beliefs. I'll take Judaism or Buddhism any day if I had to pick a religion to follow. Way more tolerant of the human spirit and not fear based.

[lakers17]

Just like the robot you are. Go try converting some down on their luck hopeless person who will listen to you. LOL Mexico, Africa, parts of Asia and other places you can go. LOL Get those convert numbers up. An intelligent non-Christian person with a brain won't listen to your nonsense.

[lakers17]

You know nothing. You are a robot. Go out and preach the word and add some more coverts to the numbers. ROTFLMAO Jesus Smeejus. Jesus was Jewish. In today's world it would be called a cult. Luckily this was over 2,000 years ago.

[lakers17]

Hilarious Same stupid Christian line over and over. Yeah you're a real winner. ROTFLMAO Most ridiculous statement that you have to take Jesus as you're savior. Pure nonsense and hogwash but if it get you through your day well good for you. In today's world it could be labeled a cult. I'll never believe that. It's pure nonsense. Millions have been killed and slaughtered under the guise of Christianity. worst religion on the planet. Is there ever a Christian with a new original thought? You're all programmed. LOL

[Long2Retire]

Nope. Jesus and his followers win.

You will lose if you remain the same. It will be a tragedy for You. That does not make me feel better.

[lakers17]

Yep, same ending for all. There is no heaven or hell or a devil. Back to nature. Keep thinking there's more if it makes you feel better. LOL

[Long2Retire]

Haha! Keep trying what? I addressed Your assertions and questions.

Don't worry. There will be an ending. Every story has an ending.

[lakers17]

Keep trying. That what all Christians do like Stepford wives. It never ending.

[Long2Retire]

Others religions don't actually recruit.

Yes they do. You're not paying attention.

All 'religions' are bad. Get's in the way of a personal relationship with Jesus. I think Jesus hates religion more than you do.

How many people have been killed in the name of Christianity.

Millions and millions. Look it up. Google is your friend.

Here is a very small sample, from 2016:

1 Christian killed for their faith every 6 minutes in 2016 – study
https://www.rt.com/news/372184-christians-killed-faith-study/

Ninety thousand Christians were murdered for their faith around the globe this year, which amounts to one being killed every six minutes, Italy’s CESNUR religious study group said.

Christians are now the most persecuted religious group in the world, Massimo Introvigne, director of the Center for Studies on New Religions (CESNUR), told Vatican Radio.

According to CESNUR statistics, around 500,000 Christians around the globe are unable to practice their faith completely freely, Introvigne said.

Seventy percent of the killings of Christians in 2016 occurred during tribal conflicts in Africa, he said, referring to data from the Center for the Study of Global Christianity.

The large number of deaths may be explained by the fact that many devoted Christians refuse to take up arms, he added.

The remaining 30 percent, or 27,000, lost their lives in terrorist attacks, the destruction of Christian villages, or persecution by the authorities, Introvigne said.

However, he said that the number of Christian killings has decreased, compared to 105,000 deaths in 2015.

The data in the report may be incomplete as it doesn’t include India and China, where the Christian community survives in secrecy, he added.

The religious study group is due to release the full statistics on Christian persecution in January.

Introvigne also said that the Catholic Church is currently considering sanctification for Christian individuals killed by terrorist group Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) in Syria and Iraq.

Earlier this year, the Chaldean Bishop of Aleppo, Antoine Audo, said that during the five years of the Syrian conflict, the Christian population of the country had declined from 1.5 million to 500,000.

To live is Christ. To die is gain.

[lakers17]

Others religions don't actually recruit. Christianity does. Worst religion on the planet by far. How many people have been killed in the name of Christianity.

[Long2Retire]

Other religious don't try for converts.

Really? You need to pay more attention.

That's just one article. Google is your friend...sometimes...

[lakers17]

All you Christians are seed planters. Other religious don't try for converts. There in lies the problem. LOL

[Long2Retire]

Yes. Jesus is a Person.

Keep trying what? I'm not going to convert you. That's a waste of time. I'm just a seed planter. Some falls in places where it never grows. Not my problem...

[lakers17]

Please! Jesus was a person. That's it. Keep trying. Now go to Africa and get some more converts.

[Long2Retire]

You are the one who asked for numbers:

Tell me how many Buddhists convert to Christianity

Those numbers were just for one area. Did you not mean it when you asked?

I would like the number to be everyone who ever lived. Jesus would have died for all of us if it was just one person who said Yes. Even if it were you.

[lakers17]

Screw Jesus! All you brainwashed morons. Seriously! Hysterical. All a numbers games with Christians. Look how many we converted. ROTFLMAO

Tell me how many Buddhists convert to Christianity

http://www.charismanews.com/world/58158-200-000-buddhists-just-turned-from-false-gods-to-jesus-christ

All the revival needed was the first spark of a Tibetan monk. When he converted to Christianity last year, the revival fire exploded. Now, more than 200,000 Tibetans have accepted Jesus into their lives, according to multiple reports.

Asian Access' Joel Handley says he believes much of the faith sweeping the region stems from Christian response to the devastating Nepalese earthquake more than a year ago.

"They haven't seen Buddhists, Hindus or other religious groups helping in the midst of the rubble. Rather, week after week, it is the followers of Jesus who have proved the test of time, sacrificed their own lives to serve and been the hands and feet of Jesus," Handley says.

Asian Access wants to build the Kingdom of God throughout Asia using local leaders, according to their website.

"As we focus on that demographic, we want to develop leaders who are growing in Christlikeness. We focus on urging each leader to nurture their love relationship with God; this produces character and being molded into Christ's image. But it's more than simply growing personally. As a result of participating in the A2 Leader Development program, we want graduates to be more Christlike leaders, too. Because they are positive role models, this affects everyone in each leader's leads," their site reads.

The organization works all over the continent and into Eurasia, from Afghanistan to Cambodia to Kasakhstan to Turkmenistan to Vietnam.

"Asian Access just has the privilege of coming alongside key pastors like the ones that have invested in this Tibetan priest's life," Handley says. "We invest deeply, building their capacity so they can reach their communities."

All these Christians shoving their beliefs on others, yes are hypocrites. Half are phonies and not even real believers. LOL "a pretense of having some desirable or publicly approved attitude" All pretense. They all think they are better than the rest of us. LMFAO It's all about conversions and numbers. Africa is one of their favorite playgrounds. Even China now. Go convert the poor with little hope. Those with a brain can see what is really going on. LOL Tell me how many Buddhists convert to Christianity? LOL

[lakers17]

Same Christian robots and brainwashing. Believe what you want. When you die we all be going to the same place all of us are going. Nowhere except back to nature. LOL There is no heaven nor hell. There is no devil. Same Christian Stepford wives trying to shove their beliefs down everyone's throats. I guess when you are losers and have nothing in life you have to believe in something.

Christians love converting poor people with nothing and little hope. It's all about numbers. LMFAO Or believe you can have immortality which none of us have. LOL I hate all formalized religions but I can respect Judaism and Buddhism. Christianity is all about shoving beliefs at others and numbers and conversions. Robots! It's a farce. LOL

Watch: Refugees leaving Islam en masse for Jesus

A recent report on RT News, reveals scores of former Muslims converting to Christianity in Europe. I recently met with a missionary to Europe who told me of one evangelist from a Muslim background who goes into refugee camps every day. Because of the danger, he asks the Lord to lead him to those refugees who are ready. The results of have been astounding.

One church has grown from 150 to 700 mostly from refugee converts. Last week 80 refugees from Iran and Afghanistan were baptized. In Austria, since January 1st there have been more than 300 applications for baptism and 70% are Muslim background refugees. And a church in Liverpool is attracting over 100 in their Farsi service (language spoken in Iran).

Furthermore, many of these have followed Yeshua into the waters of immersion—making it official to all their friends and family that they have left Islam and now serve Yeshua. One young lady says in the video, “Since I became a Christian, I fear no one.”

Why Now?

One of the reasons for the mass conversations is ISIS. Many of these refugees have witnessed the most horrible atrocities in the name of Islam at the hands of ISIS members. They want nothing to do with that religion.

Another reason is that in Muslim countries the penalty for converting is usually death. In Europe no such laws exist.

Additionally, it is rare that someone can hear the true message of Yeshua in countries like Syria and Saudi Arabia. However, in Europe, they can freely go to a church.

In their home countries, even if they are not killed, they will suffer complete rejection from their families and communities. There is no where else to go. In Europe they are finding new friends, who embrace them fully in the love of Yeshua.

Let’s keep praying for eyes to be opened and more Muslims to find freedom in Yeshua.

China on course to become 'world's most Christian nation' within 15 years

[....]

Officially, the People's Republic of China is an atheist country but that is changing fast as many of its 1.3 billion citizens seek meaning and spiritual comfort that neither communism nor capitalism seem to have supplied.

Christian congregations in particular have skyrocketed since churches began reopening when Chairman Mao's death in 1976 signaled the end of the Cultural Revolution.

Less than four decades later, some believe China is now poised to become not just the world's number one economy but also its most numerous Christian nation.

All you Christian hypocrites, psycho babblers and robots should be on this website:

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=9826

You can all sit around and circle jerk each other. Hypocrite is this owner of the above board who hides behind his Christian beliefs. He spews his Christian nonsense and it is nonsense and then posts like an asshole. Yes, that is a Christian hypocrite. They use Christianity when it suits them. Have fun there stroking each other. LOL

[lakers17]

Psycho babble. LOL Like a robot but you need it to get through your day. LMFAO.

[56Chevy]

I have other beliefs I strongly believe in.

Did that "free spirit" that gave you your belief system give you hope?

Does your belief system now include hope? Where is hope if life only ends in the grave?

Because of the great love of Christ I have hope. Life doesn't end with the grave for those who trust in him.

[lakers17]

A free spirit. Not another dumb ass Christian trying to force their views on others just like all Christian nut jobs. LOL Try Africa, where they are more hopeless, destitute people who will believe anything. LMFAO

[56Chevy]

And who programmed you?

[lakers17]

You are programmed just like a robot. It's pretty damn funny. ROTFLMAO

[SaltyMutt]

It could be that 100% of us are full of something but that still won't change the fact that there are NO posts on this board dealing with the hypocrisy of Christianity or change the fact that you need to say yes to a Loving Lord.

[lakers17]

90% of you are full of crap. Programmed robots. Stepford wives. Get a life! LMFAO

[SaltyMutt]

I have read them. There are none and yes, I knew you would say find them yourself.

Christians are all sorts of things we don't need to be and that is why they/we/I need the Risen Christ in the first place.

[lakers17]

Read the thread. Find them yourself. The vast majority of Christians are hypocrites and use the religion when it suits them. If started today, Christianity would be a cult. People were superstitious and dumb asses back then.

[SaltyMutt]

Could you point out even one post that deals with the hypocrisy of Christianity?

[lakers17]

Nice psycho babble. I have no anger and you don't know me at all. And I don't need to write or publish my beliefs, like you stupid ass Christians do all the time, shoving your nonsense down other's throats.

Most of you are conditioned like robots and Stepford wives. Scary how many unbalanced and insane Christians there are. I believe in God but not the Bible. It's also none of your business. I don't need your psycho babble. Apparently you need it to get by your day. ROTFLMAO

[SaltyMutt]

Good morning y'all.

[56Chevy]

I have other beliefs I strongly believe in.

And what are those other beliefs? You have a lot of anger. Does that stem from your beliefs?? Is anger a good thing in your opinion? If I adopted your beliefs would anger enrich my life?...and if so how? What life changing improvements could I expect? Are your beliefs yours??... or are they a collection of ideas adopted from someone or something else? Is there an afterlife in your belief system? Where does a soul go when the body dies? Or perhaps there is no soul in your beliefs? Does science provide all the evidence you need there is no God? And If there is no god what would be the purpose in mounting angry campaigns against those who say he exist?? Nothing is being "shoved down your throat"....perhaps that's your own convictions you feel between you and God. Conviction is a powerful force.

If you have a better way people should follow than the biblical message share what that is.

If love and forgiveness by a merciful God towards those of us who readily admit our shameful disgusting flaws is out...what's "in"?

[SaltyMutt]

The fastest growing Christian countries today are China and Iran.

Ya gotta love that!

[lakers17]

Christians bring it all on themselves. The only religion to shove their religion down other peoples throats, going out to solicit new members. A horrible religion.

Every war and death has been bought over religion, usually Christianity, or politics. Sorry, I'll pass. I have other beliefs I strongly believe in. I don't need to preach them to others as Christians have to do.

Christianity if started today would be no better than a cult. Christians are two faced and full of shit. they use how they are good Christians when it suits them. It's a fear based, guilt religion with a lot of persecution and hatred. Whose God? Yours? The Jews? The Muslims? Buddhist or others. Everyone thinks they are right. Christians always think they are the only ones. It's pure hogwash. Not one other religion goes out shoving their crap at other people.

[56Chevy]

Malice from detractors towards Christians has existed since Messiah Yeshua was a boy speaking in the local synagogue. And much to their chagrin has had no effect on stopping or slowing the good news of the gospel.

The fastest growing Christian countries today are China and Iran. The darkest places on earth spiritually speaking in the 21st century are being saved and there is no explanation for it other than God himself is changing hearts.

God is on the move. You're like an ant standing in front of a bulldozer lakers17. Your hatred stems from bitterness. There is a cure for that at the foot of the cross.

Christians want nothing but divine blessings to follow you the rest of your days.

I wish you well...God's speed.

[lakers17]

Well it ain't Jesus and Jews don't believe in the 2nd book of the bible. Jesus was a Jew anyway. LOL Now a cult has been accepted in his name. Years ago Jim Jones could have been Jesus in those times. LOL

[56Chevy]

Judaism's ultimate anticipation is the coming of a Messiah.

If you did adopt Judaism how would you identify or know when that Messiah was present?

[lakers17]

Ridiculous. Manic depressions have visions as well. Brainwashing. As I am not a Christian nor have never been nor was born into it, .I am not a believer and would never be. Not a part of my belief system in any way, shape or from. If I wanted to pick a religion, I would pick Judaism or Buddhism. Christianity? No way.

[56Chevy]

I wouldn't say it won't ever happen. He's been known to come to people in unmistakable dreams. The bible is full of examples. You may or may not be one of those people...idk..that's above my pay grade.

Its also possible He may have already given you over to a reprobate mind. I pray not...that would be tragic. I'd like to see you have every chance to hear his story from his lips and not mine while you still have breath in your lungs.

If you do challenge him keep in mind He may not reveal himself in the way you expect...when you expect.. or how you expect...and His response may not be what you thought you would hear.

I would say good luck...but luck has nothing to do with it.

[lakers17]

Play it by ear. Who knows. Won't ever happen anyway.

[56Chevy]

Ok ..that was an honest answer...and we now know what you would do if you came face to face with him.

If you did talk with him what would you ask him?
