Yeah. I'm a Daoist and that's not what our religion says at all. Every other religion says if you don't believe them, you go to hell. Since you aren't gonna believe in all of them, you're going to hell anyway.
Sorry, but you’re wrong. You’ll figure it out one day.
You sound like a Leftist.
Why is there only one way to reach God if God loves everyone and wants everyone to reach him?
If you love God, stop believing in religion.
Leftism, by nature, is diametrically opposed to the idea of objective truth. The postmodern foundation of leftists stands in opposition to Christianity, especially since it offers only one way of salvation (through Christ).
Now, your anger over biblical Christianity is causing your judgment to be clouted and to cross the line of flawed logic and reasoning, claiming that any opponent of yours must be or is like a leftist. The essence and nature of leftist postmodernism is openness and all inclusive, hence this is why you see Presbyterian and Lutheran etc churches featuring homosexuals as “pastors” and in leadership. Their gospel is not biblical and it is not “one way.”
You are being irrational and wrongfully portraying leftists for the sake of arguing and defying your religious opponent… which ironically is similar to how leftists argue and believe (openness and shunning that which is objective, true, and exclusive).
If your religion believes it's own version of truth is the only version of truth, you are no different from leftism.
Christianity isn't wrong. But the modern interpretations of it being the truth and the only truth seems no less inane than leftism denying electoral fraud, promoting CRT and dividing society.
God made Christ the singular way to salvation because only Christ could atone for the sins of all of humanity who believe in Him. Other false paths have no way to atone for sin, that's why they have so many rituals to purify themselves, and even then it's going to miss, no one can clean his own soul, only Christ can do it for us.
Seems like a really defeatist way to look at God, cornering us into not having any choice but to believe in Christianity.
I believe God to be more benevolent, and much more passive, than Christianity would make him out to be.
Sixteen redeemers who died for our salvation ..how come all of them are said to be pagan except the last one jesus who is a dead ringer for previous one Mithras. Even the same dates etc. Lamb of god..rose again third day etc
Wrong again… Christianity is not a religion. It’s a relationship with the living God. Everything else is a religion. Even you deny Christ as your own religion. It’s called Gnosticism. It’s been around for ages, people think they have all the secret knowledge, their worldly knowledge, and they think they’re better than everybody else, you know secret information. They have tied a man-made belief systems, into their religion, so they can control the masses.
Christianity is as simple as it comes. Accepting Christ as your Lord and Savior, and having a relationship with him. You don’t even have to go to church to do that. You can do it straight from your own home, driving in your car, walking down the street, and it doesn’t involve controlling the masses.
Yes, people do get caught up in churches, and groups of people who still try to do that, but the fundamental basics of Christianity is a simple relationship with the living God. I pray one day that you find it. It’s one of the most awesome feelings a human being can experience. Assurance in a sinful, fallen world.
I believe in God but I don't believe in Christ, because I was born on a continent in a country that doesn't start with Christianity as state religion.
Daoism does not see God as an entity but as a force of nature. It doesn't teach you to find assurance, but to find peace. You and I face the same enemy, have the same principles, but we came from different paths. Does that mean I subscribe to a different religion and therefore have to go to hell?
I'm not here preaching my religion because that's not the point. I subscribe to a philosophical belief that God is very real and exists, and everything will work out in the end (as dictated by Daoism). But one should be able to find God in their own way without being judged or pigeon-holed by one set of written work.
People like that do not naturally figure it out, unfortunately. The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. They choose to lock themselves into their own perception of God against the Word of God. They represent the Age of Enlightenment and postmodernism thinking.
Wow… I couldn’t have said it any better. The thing is is that I think at one time I know for sure I was one of those people, perhaps you as well. I don’t know for sure about yourself. But I was definitely in the world at one time, and once you see the truth of Christ, your eyes or wide awake to so many other things.
I think the problem with that the world right now, is there so much information. People can dive down so many rabbit holes, some of them never make it out. The simplicity of Christianity, is what makes it so difficult for people to accept. It’s the only religion on the planet. That is God reaching out to man. Every other religion is man reaching out to God, and that is so fallible.
God bless you for your kind and wise words.
I certainly was that way early on, and I think most Christians were (at least in my experience) even if they grow up/grew up in the church.
You nailed it with the “simplicity” of Christianity and the gospel. Perfectly said. The analogy of reaching is spot on. I like it.
I used to be a Taoist myself until I found Jesus. Can’t explain it to you but I regret thinking I was right.
Hard to agree with you when you spell it wrong.
(Hey, i'm also a taoist)
The English words Daoism (/ˈdaʊ.ɪzəm/) and Taoism (/ˈdaʊ.ɪzəm/ or /ˈtaʊ.ɪzəm/) are alternative spellings for the same-named Chinese philosophy and religion. The root for Daoism or Taoism is the Chinese word 道 ("road" or "way"), which was transcribed tao or tau in the earliest systems for the romanization of Chinese and dao or dau in 20th century systems.
Thank you for posting that.
That's because it's a path to Hell.
Seems weird, since Daoism came before Christianity. So did Catholicism, from which Protestantism is born, which also came from Judaism Judaism.
You know nothing about another religion but instantly call it a path to hell. That seems... rather narrow-minded.
It's not narrow minded, God prescribed a way to avoid Hell, as i mentioned before, being exclusive isnt a demerit.
Being exclusive is actually what makes genuine faith in Christ ("Christianity") the only viable option.
Any false god can claim to be the true one, but only the One delivers on what He promises, and only in exchange for faith.
Faith is the key, not hating your neighbor, not killing for God, not threatening people with Hellfire if they dont succumb to the church's will.
You and I believe in the same thing through different religions.
Why is your way better than mine and I will go to hell?
Why are you giving God anthropogenic qualities and assume he is determined to convert him to Christianity of God is supposed to exceed human comprehension?
