    Show in the Bible where this matters.

    Show in Jesus’s teachings where the opposite is not taught.

    Do Christians even know what Christianity is these days, or is it up to everyone else now to teach them the ways of Christ?

      Christians like the one that OP posted don’t practice Christianity.

      They practice “you believe what I tell you/I believe what I’ve been told to believe”

      You could read Jesus’ teachings to them, verbatim, and they’d think it was an Obama campaign speech.

        Yes they do practice Christianity and I’m tired of Christians constantly shirking responsibility by suggesting that Christians can’t be bad people, or that problematic Christians aren’t a part of their group. Even Jesus said you all suck.

    Does that mean non-Christian mothers should be allowed to get abortions, and only the Churchers should be forbidden?

      Heeeeey, compromise. I’m for it!

      Unfortunately I already know their answer.

      “We want to have the opportunity to bring those babies to the light. We can’t save their souls from eternal hellfire if they never have a chance to be born and know Christ.”

      And then my reply would be…

      “But like, doesn’t that default send them to heaven and make the job easier? I mean, if you actually want to save their souls maybe you should be for abortion as it is a guarantee.”

      I don’t know what they’d say next, but I’m sure they wouldn’t budge.

        They believe that you don’t go to heaven unless you’re baptized, so those aborted babies are going to hell with all the other unborn.

          Ehhh, some of them believe that. Most of the Christians I grew up around (Pentecostal) believed that babies just go on to heaven.

          Oooh baby baby it’s a wild world.

            Yeah they all said they went to purgatory at one point, I can’t remember how long for but the idea was they burn until they suffered like Jesus and can go to heaven

            Competently healthy and sane belief system.

    Imagine the absolutely batshit retarded nonsense that kicks around in the heads of these boring, soulless fucking morons. This is the stuff that gets past whatever social filter the pond scum parents endowed on their precious little shitstains.

    It’s crazy that no matter who you are, where you’re born, or what religion you’re born into… You’re always born into the one true religion.

    What a blessing that is.

    Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14

    This pastor: “No, only my children, not these others.”

    There are days I wish all that religious stuff would be real so I could be sure he goes to hell and on his way Jesus slaps him in his face. Once for every evil tweet, no twice at least.

      Unfortunately, if the “treat everyone with respect and dignity” Jesus were real there would still be no hell to go to.

    This is because my children are part of a religion which was created roughly 2000 years ago, 4000 years after its adherents believe this planet was created. Therefore, when the ancestors I believe I had before the creation of Christianity got to Heaven, God just went “psyche, too early dick head” and condemned them to purgatory for no good fucking reason.

      God didn’t give the ten commandments until the jews had left Egypt, that’s over s thousand years where you could covet your neighbour’s ass as much as you like.

      Didn’t you know that Jesus went to hell and saved some of them? Like, “bruh, I’m sorry you had to deal with this shit. We good then? Ok, follow me.”

    Wow this guy is a Christian pastor with 46k followers on X. I was gonna say it’s not even worth responding to but kinda is if he’s an actual faith leader.

    He should do some research into what the Apostle Paul thought about converting non-Christians. Or heck, contemplate a famous example of a Jew who was holy from conception. That guy later got crucified but he was probably not lesser-than due to the circumstances of his birth.

      I think part of the problem is that the Bible is mostly a book of analogy, and analogies require historical and social context to be meaningful.

      The vast majority of Christians barely know their home country’s history, let alone the history of the Levant from 2k years ago.

      So when they hear a story about the good Samaritan, they don’t understand the context. To them it just means good people go to heaven. In reality Samaritans were thought to be heretical by the Jews, who often destroyed their temples.

      So they miss the underlying point, that even if you are from a heretical evil cult, you are more likely to go to heaven if you are good in practice when compared to a man of the cloth who does not practice what they preach.
