So, I have several questions and statements about Christian Theology. Fundamentalism in particular.
Why is it, that Fundamentalists are called "extremists"? And are hated and criticized for taking the bible literally? Isn't the ENTIRE point of the bible to take it literally? Otherwise, what is the point in the bible being created at all? The bible was created so that God could share his word with all of creation!
The bible was created so that all of humanity can know the word of God! As times change and religious denominations slowly defecate all over the word of God, the bible is supposed to be the ONLY thing left in the world that we can turn to that is pure, perfect, and holy besides the Lord himself!
Yet, there are so many Christians out there that don't even BELIEVE in the bible yet, believe that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. How contradictory is that? If you believe in Jesus Christ and salvation, you HAVE to believe in the bible! Because, the bible contains the ENTIRETY of Jesus's life and what is required for our salvation!
Jesus said that the old testament and the entirety of the bible is true. So if you don't believe the bible is true, you're calling Jesus a liar. And, how is that fair to Jesus. The man who gave his life on the cross for you so that you can be cleansed and forgiven for your sins!
There are also so many Christians out there that don't take the bible seriously and, keep throwing Matthew 7:1 in people's faces. Especially the faces of Fundamentalists. Yet, they use it so out of context that they only end up looking like ignorant 3 year old's. Matthew 7:1 does NOT tell Christians to not judge sin. In fact? For telling us to not judge sin? You're judging us. It warns us against sinning in HYPOCRISY. It tells us to Judge others RIGHTEOUSLY. And to not Condemn other people. Simply put? Jesus did not agree with Hypocrites. To him, you could not love God and call yourself a follower of God if you lived your life in sin and did not follow God's word like it says in Matthew 7:21. There also, are several places in the bible where it commands us to Judge for sin.
There are so many Christians out there, that don't even bother to study and learn the bible and only listen to like one or two verses. Or, they'll pick the parts of the bible that they like and call the rest of it "useless garbage" and "Just a story".
It's NOT just garbage! It's the word of God! Am I the only one that's slightly offended by these comments?
Then there are the people whom I find really offensive. The hypocritical Christians who claim that ALL Fundamentalist Christians are against helping the poor, and are for power and greed.
Probably because of Donald Trump and what's going on with him and what he protrays list Christianity to be. Donald Trump is NOT a Fundamentalist Christian.
If a Fundamentalist Christian is REALLY TRULY Fundamental than they would be FOR giving to the poor NOT against it! They would be AGAINST personal power and they would be AGAINST Greed. An immediate and OBVIOUS contradiction. Want to know why I know this? Because, the bible says so. The bible warns us repeatedly about greed and how we should cut it out of our lives, the bible warns us repeatedly to help the poor and the less fortunate, the bible warns us repeatedly about the lust for power. Fundamentalists take the bible literally so, if a person is truly fundamentalists than they'd follow the bible and word of God.
Then there's the Christians that claim that we're full of hate. No, we're not. We're full of LOVE. Despite what Satan wants you to believe? Educating people on Scripture is NOT hate. Despite what Satan wants you to believe? We don't hate you. We teach you scripture because, we LOVE you! We teach you scripture because, we want you to be SAVED! We teach you scripture because, we want you to prepare for Judgement day!
Fundamentalist Christians are among the most selfless people in the world. In actuality? Even the most are kind when you look at their original meanings and when you look at the word of God. For example, God won't let you abort your baby? Oh no! It's the end of the world that you can't murder your own fetus! You know? The gift that God gave you?
Or another example, Slavery. A very sensitive topic in the bible.
Despite popular belief? God (And the bible) did NOT give humanity the right to mistreat slaves. Also? Slaves were not exclusive to race. It wasn't until America came along that slavery, really changed for the worse. And also? The bible didn't COMMAND us to have slaves. It only said that, if we wanted slaves? We had the option.
The bible is, was, and always will be full of love. Just as we will always be full of love.
Just because we like to tell the word of God like it is, does not mean that we are Self Absorbed or Egotistical people. Wake up and quit being deceived by Satan!
It is a fact though, Fundamentalist Christianity didn't start until the late 19th Century. But, that's because the word of God started to disappear from our Churches. That's because the word of God started to disappear from our world. That's because people today, are worshiping more and more false idols than before without even realizing it.
That's because the day of the "new" started. And people started to "get with the times."
Fundamentalism? Had to start.
And that's okay, we can take the hate. The bible did warn us, that True Christians would be hated by the world. That many would disagree with us. The fact that so many Fundamentalists are flamed into oblivion, and are considered extremist jerks only proves the totality of the bible even more. It only proves that the day of the rapture? Is getting closer and closer. It only proves that the day of Judgement? Is near. Where will you be when the day of Judgement comes?
