"God's System"

Hey Sutanhartanto:Ok let me understand.My question was to establish ideas to a concern: "negative outlook on Christianity and if fear is a factor." I am getting a lot of mix signals to this statement. My religion is being interrogated and people are even telling me about issues they have with religions. One person went into detail as to telling me they don't believe in God. That is not my affair, if that person, whom I wrote to, have an idea to share, share it, if you don't, just don't comment. If you are not religious, why are you in this forum at all. To release some tension. I comprehend with some of what you are saying, but does it answer the questions put forward. I guess the approach to what I wanted to know was misinterpreted. I ask for ideas or shared thoughts about changing a situation into a positive one and if fear was a factor contributing to this negativity. That was all I asked.... Jackie

hi jackie, i am a christian but i don't agree with what many christians do to spread their belief. the narrow minded christians who thinks that jesus is the only savior and the only way to get salvation; those who think like that are definitely don't understand what jesus taught. they just interpret the bible literally, not wanting to dig the bible to find the real valuable treasures in it. (i don't know it's because of the laziness to think or other reasons). i think such christians are responsible to the negative outlook on christianity. i think instead of trying to convince people to follow what you believe verbally, it's better just to be a good christian. be a nice and kind people, help others, do what jesus said. be a good example of christian. if they who believe and not believe in jesus and christianity witness it, i think get the negative outlook will rid easily. regarding the fear, i don't think it plays an important roles here.

Hi Sutanhartanto:I agree. Their is a difference in the practice. I am in my early 40s and I do alot of research. I saw this site and it drew interest to me to get different opinions from other religions to find out in some mid-way to see if our beliefs are of the same concept. Forgive me if I sounded out of place, but I realize some customs are not the same, and this are intrepreted wrong. Some of us are responsible for what is happening today. Indeed we should carry the Jesus Concept. You mentioned about we believe Jesus is the only savior, but you did not say the only only way to God. Why is that? or Does " I am the way, the truth, and the light, No one cometh to the Father, but by me." has no signifance.

Hey Tanewha, I am taking a guess here that we are not on the same wave link. I live in the Caribbean and our Christian believes here in Barbados are not as such to persecute, at least not at My church. When we bring the word we respect what others say. Of course we won't tolerate the bashing of Jesus's name or obscenities towards God. If the person is not interested or as my friend says "he believes in his own faith, HIMSELF", that is my "q" at least to move on to the other person.If in the end I have not accompolish my task, which is seldom, Thank God. Probably they do things different in the Bigger countries,outside, that is why I ask the question..What ideas you could share. I am one that wants to improve our Mirror Image. I agree to the one idea shared, following Jesus's approach to the needy (meaning, the lost.) We needed to read the Holy Book more often. My sister does not believe in God, at least she believes in a "Supreme Being", but I challenge her to read the Holy Bible, do research talk to people from different religious back grounds and compile her efforts. Instead of using pitfalls as a gesture to: "Their is no God" I know some people don't believe there is a God, but some of those same people always use His name, when trouble befalls them. If you don't believe in Him, why call His name???
