Is it wrong to speak out against other religions?

[Marumorose]

Hi everyone,

mud like to ask the community what if consider a junk question.Many times in my life I’ve ridiculed and spoken against other religions like Islam,Hinduism,and Buddhism.I don’t agree with any of their beliefs and I point out the obvious flaws.I even came to the conclusion that hypothetically speaking if another Religion as right and their God was real would be very against it.


Note I’m not this way towards Jesus,I dare not speak against him.But I’m curious,is it wrong to speak against other religions and not agree with their fake Gods or let alone hate their Gods.But I don’t hate the people,I hate the false Gods they worship

It is not wrong to speak about other churches but you must have your facts right. You must have a clear understanding of that church. You must do it the right way and not mock them. Remember that they are also created in the image of God and we must love them. Every church has its own flaws. No one is perfect
May God Bless You

You mean mocking like telling them to their face they're white washed tombs and a brood of vipers? Both Jesus and John the Baptist used aggressive speech recorded in the scriptures.

..Many times in my life I’ve ridiculed and spoken against other religions like Islam,Hinduism,and Buddhism.I don’t agree with any of their beliefs and I point out the obvious flaws..

Yes we're being good samaritans by gently trying to help them see the error of their ways..-
"Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth,and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will" (2 Timothy 2:23-26)

but if they won't listen, I walk off rather than waste any more time on them, because they're all Jesus-rejecters and are therefore not my kind of people at all..

Jesus said:- "If people won't listen to you,shake off the dust from your feet as you leave,as a testimony to them" (Matthew 10:14/15)
"The Jews argued with him, so Paul said 'I'm clear of my responsibility' and left" (Acts of the Apostles 18:6-7)

PS- I often take issue with so-called christians too if they belong to a denomination or cult that I don't like..

It depends on the context. I think mocking other people's beliefs is wrong, they're as convinced as you are that the God they worship is the one true god and that the one you believe in is the "fake" one.

IF you had been born in a different place and/or under different circumstances you would've probably believed in the same things.

I'm not against speaking against the bad/ridiculous things people do in the name of their religions or even your own religion though.

It's not wrong, but it should always be done in a loving way. Which is something I need to improve on myself.

I know,I have OCD,and I somehow think I’ve blasphemed God.Though I know I haven’t.I posted something yesterday about anxiety I’ve been having and I guess this is a branch of it.

Look at it this way. Jesus spoke against the Pharisees and their false teachings. So speaking out against false teaching could hardly be blasphemy or a form of apostasy, now could it? Intrusive thoughts are rarely backed up by logic and reason. So using logic and reason is a good way to vanquish them.

A christian evangelist acquaintance of mine used to spend a lot of time debating with nonchristians and christian cultists and admitted their bad vibes made him feel drained of energy like kryptonite drains Superman, so i said "Well just avoid them then".
His defence was "But Jesus mixed with unbelievers to try to draw them to him didn't he?"
to which I replied "Yes, but if they wouldn't listen he soon gave up on them as no-hopers-
Jesus said:- "If people won't listen to you,shake off the dust from your feet as you leave, as a testimony to them" (Matthew 10:14/15)

I also drew his attention to these verses and happily I think they made him see sense--
"What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?..Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord, I will be a Father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters" (2 Corinthians 6:14-18 )
"He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm" (Proverbs 13:20)
"Bad company corrupts good character" (1 Corinthians 15:33)
"Warn a divisive person once, and then warn him a second time. After that, have nothing to do with him. You may be sure that such a man is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned."(Titus 3:9-11)
"Withdraw from proud disputers" (1 Timothy 6:3-5)
"Keep away from profane babblers" (1 Timothy 6:20/21)
"Don't receive unbelievers into your house nor greet them" (2 John 1:10)
"Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words" (Proverbs 23:9)

I also told him to mix only with strong Christians in order to soak up their good vibes..-
"As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another" (Proverbs 27:17)
