Why do catholics and orthodox "christians" call hinduism and other eastern religions pagan?
Fact that catholic and orthodox "christians" are just heretic sects have been proved innumerable times from the bible and extrabiblical source like hindu scriptures.Apostolic church was protestant as it didnot use intercession of saints or used images/statues in prayer worship.Mani and his followers were direct continuation of apostolic church(they existed from 2nd-15th century).In 4th century constantine made christianity state religion of roman empire.As a result many pagans ignorant about truth of god came into church only for material benefit.The "christianized" their old idol worship by changing their old idols into christian martyrs and biblical characters and started to praying to them.Inorder to show others they were not worshiping idols they introduced the lie that saints in heaven could intercede to christ and we can pray to those saints(when bible declares jesus is the only intercessor b/n man and god),thus effectievely setting stage for an infinite idolatry in the name of living god as number of saints can be elevated to the status of intercessor.Thus these idolaters gave birth to catholic "church".Soon this heresy spread to entire christian church.Only mani and his followers didn't fall for this heresy and remained true christians.But heretic catholics branded them "heretics" and persecuted and murdered them.They spread from persia to china b/n 2nd-15th century,in the west they spread to turkey,balkans were they were called paulicians and bogomils.In 12th century 2 protestant groups called cathars and waldens were born which exist till today.By 15th century bible began reaching the masses and they saw catholic practices were idolatry.Thus protestantism became a revolution.Today there are around 900 million protestants world wide.Except for some churches that have succumbed to unbiblical practices of feminism and homosexuality(catholic lies)protestantism is growing rapidly.Catholic church will soon cease to exist as god exists.
Does God love everyone?
Everyone should have been taught in school that every action has a opposite and equal reaction, so therefor you should know that just as great the love of God is, there is also a hatred from God that is just as great. Look at these verses if you do not believe me. Psalms 5:4,5. The Foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou (God see vrs 4) hatest ALL WORKERS of iniquity. Psalms 7:11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. That is just a few verses that state that if you want more read Romans. 1:29-32. Who knowing the judgment of God, that they wich commit such things are worthy of death....... Romans 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. Revelations 14:6-11 The same shall drink of the win of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture....... and the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever:...... that sounds like a God that does hate and does judge. Do not be decieved, God does not love everyone.
Christians: When someone accuses you of being unChristian...?
...Do you stop and think twice about whether or not you might be guilty? ...Or do you shrug it off? I realize Y!A R&S is a battlefield for ALL parties involved, and everyone slips up at times, myself included. But I am just baffled at how easily some professed Christians dismiss it when they are called out on their unChristian behavior, even continuing the inappropriate behavior. If it were me, I'd humbly do a close self-examination. (Which can't be done too often!)
When God seems silent and you do not sense His presence, how do you react?
To ALL of you kind believers who shared, gave and opened your life I'm so grateful to God for you. I needed your combined wisdom, comfort, exhortations and witness to God in your lives.
