The way to eternal life truly is narrow my friend. Most Christians are Christians in name only, and they haven't found the narrow path. Only those who have found the narrow path are the true Christians. The true Christians don't have a pope and they aren't organized. So all the things you blame Christians for are not the fault of true Christians, but instead they are simply those who used Christianity as a cover to fulfill their greed and lust for murder, glory and money.Contrarian Expatriate wrote:Quite ironic coming from you because many others see Christianity just as you see Islam.Adama wrote: It's not a religion. It's an anti-life ideology of slavery and death that makes Bolshevism look like a joke. All under the guise of righteousness. This is plain for all to see.
Just because someone has labeled a death-cult a religion, it doesn't make it a religion.
And I know for some reason people lump Christianity, Judaism and Islam together, as "people of the book," but Islam has nothing to do with Christianity. Muslims deny Christ as the Son of God, stating that God cannot have a Son (as if there is something an all powerful God can't do and wouldn't do for His people in love). Islam is violence, slavery, and death.
They can enslave infidel women? When did God ever say that? Islam calls for amputations? When did God ever approve of that? God never said that, because those are evil things to do to other people, and above all, God wants us to live in peace, and not the lip service fake peace Islam talks about, but true peace where we do not cause other people sorrow.
Christianity is but an Ideology also. But instead of subjugating women with obligation, it subjugates men with the same. Just look at the Promise Keepers movement that Christians came up with to re-enslave Christian men as servants and beasts of burden. Christianity is therefore the other side of the same coin.
And for all your "Christianity is Peace" nonsense, you should read up on Christianity's role in history and how it caused others to suffer greatly. From The Church's murderous campaign of the Inquisition where they butchered those it considered inconvenient heretics, to The Church's moral sanction of the African Slave Trade to Christianize the heathens, to Crusades slaughtering of those they considered pagans and unbelievers, to the American protestant churches roles in encouraging and legitimizing racial segregation.
To hell with Christianity as well as other ideologies masquerading as spiritual belief systems.
Of course being an unbeliever it all sounds like nonsense to you, and you may not be capable of receiving it.
The only true Christians are those who recognize that Christ not only died for all our sins, past present and future, but also that He kept all of the commandments of God for us. Therefore salvation does not come by keeping the law; He's done all that for us. Salvation comes simply by trusting in Him. There are no sacraments or works or repentance necessarily for salvation, because Christ has done all the work already, and all our sins are covered.
Now if someone believes that, they are a true Christian by faith in Christ, making them a child of God. However, most Christians believe that they must add to the works of Christ, making themselves equal with God, believing that their work is needed and comparable to God's for salvation, when Christ is the source of righteousness, not ourselves.
Always remember, Satan has many distractions to keep us from going to heaven. Constructing dozens of works based false religions is one of those ways in which he confuses people so that they will not believe the simplicity of the truth: that all we have to do to be saved is to believe in Christ.
Those Christians you mentioned, who are from organized Christianity, don't believe in the free gift of salvation. They believe that their own good works and abstaining from sin grants or keeps them in salvation, when that's simply impossible.
