You know those hardcore Neo-Christians?

I’m starting to hate them…

I think a lot of you know who I’m referring to. Those people who reply to posts here with comments along the lines of “you need to have a deeper relationship with Jesus” or “Just try harder to have a relationship with God”… Or my personal favorite way that they make me want to hurt them, (direct quote here btw) ” “Trust Me” you’ve never really developed a relationship with HIM…. ”

Neo-Christians is a blanket term I use to refer to the new Christian movement primarily consisting of teens which display a high level of evangelism, with a strange level of mysticism thrown in, though they don’t seem to realize it. This includes things like pop-christianity, and the connection to Christian rock.

Now, not only do these people take on a high and mighty stance, like they have a perfect relationship with god, and their life is perfect, and that we should all be like them, they figure that praying and going to church like them is the only way to be happy. Then, many of them don’t have a good grasp on the entire history of their religion. I’ll be that almost everyone reading this does NOT know who the Bishop Arius was, let alone what he said about the divinity of Jesus. (if you do, please let me know, if only for my own sense of pride in the human race)

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for religion existing, and for people practicing it. As far as I’ve seen, it does tend to do more good than bad, entire societies would have collapsed without it, and it provides a great moral basis from which to live. What I am against is people shoving their religion down other peoples throats. I have actually made it a constant effort to NOT let anyone on this site know what religion I am currently practicing, though I also do not hide that I was raised catholic.

So please, remember that there ARE other religions out there that are NOT related to Jesus. There are other religions out there that don’t give a **** about ‘original sin’ or even sin at all. There are even religions which explicitly state that trying to figure out whether or not God exists is an entirely pointless venture, and our time would be much better spent doing things like ACTUALLY HELPING PEOPLE instead of lining up to eat stale wafers and get a sip of wine that a priest waved his hands over whilst reciting latin.

Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life no man comes to the Father but by Me. Therefore all those “other” religions you talk about are dead wrong no matter what they say or believe. Jesus also gave us a mission. He said go out and preach the gospel to the world so the way we see it we don’t have a choice.

I’m sorry a Christian ran over your cat and caused you to harbor an obsessive hatred towards us.

I’m pretty sure this whole thread here is designed to instigate, or display, hate against Christians. This is not only against TOS, but stands as an example of how the world will hate Christians right up until the end of the world. (By the way, didn’t the Bible tell of persecution right up until the end times? You’ve proved the Bible yet again, tuesday.)
There’s really no point in me speaking out against this, because the Bible says persecution will exist in many forms right until the end of time. It can’t be fought, only endured.
In this case, however, this post directs hatred toward a particular people. Therefore, it should rightfully be reported and closed.

Persecution has many forms, jeb. It doesn’t necessarily require whips, knives, guns, or lions. Persecution often ( or MOST often, even) takes the form of words.
Consider the many times the pharisees attempted to trap Jesus by asking Him dead-end questions, expecting to get an answer they could use to tarnish Jesus’ image.
Was that not a form of persecution?
Any hatred directed at a person because of their beliefs is, in fact, persection.

This was taken from www.dictionary.com

Main Entry: per·se·cu·tion
Function: noun
: punishment or harassment usually of a severe nature on the basis of race, religion, or political opinion in one’s country of origin.

Harassment can certianly include directing hate towards people because of their beliefs.

you guys really need to learn what the meaning of persecution is, good lord… just because someone disagree’s with you. you scream persecution, last i read persecution was feeding them to lions and dismembering them and beating and whipping them with straps with fishhooks in it to ripp the flesh of,,, haven’t seen that so guess what? YOUR NOT BEING PERSECUTED!!!

Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Why do Christians speak out against wickedness?

Ezekiel 33:9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

In essence, we appreciate what our LORD had gone through to redeem us. It is only proper to share HIS story with whomever so that no man or woman face the coming appointment for this world. For many, the “TEST” will be a second chance to acquire salvation but only this time the shedding of their blood will be required of them
during the Seven Year Tribulation. Now those left behind will have to reject the beast mark, don’t bow down to the beast nor worship the anti-christ.

Tough stuff when your wife and children are screaming for food, water and shelter. The weak ones will give in and accept the mark……

GOD said HE’s going to create a New HEAVEN and New Earth, this one is done, over, kaput! We are the Modern Day Spiritual Ark Callers….calling everyone to get on board for the Spiritual Ark will be heading out soon at the TRUMP OF GOD….

That verse relates to “Christains” who get on the bandwagon and pretend to have a relationship with God in order to impress their family, friends, etc, but have never actually accepted Jesus as their savior. (Hence the “I never knew you,” part)

also how many of you christians fall into the category of this…

Jesus Christ wrote:
” Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” “

Those are they whom have no relationship with HIM. They only know about HIM! I have a relationship with HIM and commune daily with prayer, communion and praise. I do as HE ask and HE said;

John 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

Do others do that? NO! They are disobedient, hateful, murderers, proud, arrogant with no love!
