Christians are morally superior to non-Christians. In what other ways are Christians superior to non-Christians?

Christians are not morally superior to non-Christians.

Christians are not superior to non-Christians in any way whatsoever.

Says right there that you are.

Doesn't matter. Christians aren't superior, morally or otherwise.

Okay. No offence, but I have no interest in that answer. Clearly, there is a significant portion of Christianity that claims superiority. I'd like to hear from them.

There is a poll, offers just two options, yes or no, how can anyone answer that?

Presumably, they can answer yes or no. You might notice that this thread does not have a poll. If you would like to answer my question feel free. I admit though, I don't see how yes or no are not enough as they are mutually exclusive and seem to cover the entire spectrum of answers.

Well, St Paul does say that Christians (at least some, ie saints) will judge angels, and the world. Psalm 11:10-13 shows that God will do away with wicked ones and the meek will possess the earth. Whether being meek is superior is probably a matter of opinion. I believe it is, personally. I definitely like meek, humble people more than the opposite: forceful, arrogant. Then there is John 3:21 which probably gives OP a direct "yes". Ultimately though, while the label "Christian" is self-imposed, it is not the absolute definition of who is Christian. In the end, we see that God has His people in all nations. Several scriptures show that some who claimed to be Christian actually aren't His sheep. Even John 10:16 indicates there may be sheep of His own who are found in other religions. At the end of the 'day', what really matters is His definition:


34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

So while these are found to be fit for everlasting life while the others are not, it should be agreed that they are superior in His opinion because they naturally prefer to make heaven on earth.

I don't believe Christians are superior to anyone.

What is moral?

Apparently Christians are. Thanks for sharing.

Still looking for those who believe that Christians are more moral than others. They've posted a dozen or so threads in the past several months, where are they now?

Christians who post on ChristianForums.
Hahaha...yeah, well, we get all kinds here, I guess.
But seriously, Christians are just people, like anyone else, with the same kinds of faults and foibles. I've met some seriously insufferable atheists...and then I've met some warm and cuddly ones, too.
Let's not go shoving people into boxes....what do you say?

http://www.christianforums.com/thre...muslims-immoral.7868708/page-25#post-68143377

-"if you think they are immoral, what is the solution for atheists and muslims?"

-"Convert to Christianity."

Christians are morally superior to non-Christians. In what other ways are Christians superior to non-Christians?
Superior huh? As a Christian I don't see myself superior in any way, in fact I purposely put myself below all others even muslums and such because love cares far more about the sake of others than himself and Jesus himself the king of kings the all powerful God put himself lower than us sinners he came as a servant to us even though he was far superior.

My life is far less than that of others no matter who they are what they have done how cruel and evil their hearts are or what religion because they are all extremely precious and beautiful to God more important to him than his own throne. If a Christian is morally superior then explain why there is such little love in so many so called Christians hearts explain to me how judgmental and how mocking and how self loving so may are. I have seen very few who are as you claim and I have seen many many People who bear the title Christian.

So Christians are more moral than Muslims, or Muslims are more moral than Christians?
I don't know if I'd say that every individual Muslim is less moral than every individual Christian...that's a pretty far stretch.
However, I would say that Christianity as a faith is much more moral than Islam as a faith.
Have you ever looked into the Koran?
