Top 10 Ways to Tell if You're a Christian!

Top Ten List

Top Ten Signs You’re a Fundamentalist Christian...

10 – You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

9 – You feel insulted and “dehumanized” when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.

– You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

7 – Your face turns purple when you hear of the “atrocities” attributed to Allah, but you don’t even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in “Exodus” and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in “Joshua” including women, children, and trees!

6 – You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.

5 – You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.

4 – You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs — though excluding those in all rival sects – will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most “tolerant” and “loving.”

3 – While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in “tongues” may be all the evidence you need to “prove” Christianity.

2 – You define 0.01% as a “high success rate” when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.

1 – You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history – but still call yourself a Christian.

LOL!!!

1 John 2:3

By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments.

1 John 2:5

but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him:

1 John 2:18

Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.

1 John 3:1

[ Children of God Love One Another ] See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.

1 John 3:14

We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death.

1 John 3:16

We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

1 John 3:19

We will know by this that we are of the truth, and will assure our heart before Him

1 John 3:24

The one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. We know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.

1 John 4:6

We are from God; he who knows God listens to us; he who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

1 John 4:13

By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.

1 John 4:16

We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

1 John 5:2

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments.

1 John 5:15

And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.

1 John 5:18

We know that no one who is born of God sins; but He who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him.

1 John 5:19

We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

1 John 5:20

And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

He is going to judge and death penalty given!

And He will avenge all spilled blood that was spilled unjustly!

Like the babies, and the Christians, and the Jews.

He judges body and soul!

In the end He purchased all the worlds dust.

In the end all will be joined with their dust.

And some will be like clean new clothes ready for a wedding feast. And others will be putting on filthy rags from stains of the world without cleansing.

That is the reality. The violence and blood shed is the heart of msn. As beings who have eternal existence of soul, you see as man sees. God knows all those who lose their heads, He will reassemble them. And make them whole. Body and soul togethet with a body like Jesus we will be like Him.

The brokenness of "death" was separation from God, and also "dust you shall return" hopeless man separated from clothing of a body. Jesus came to heal us and make us whole.

The question, when He returns to you your clothes, will they be appropriate for His wedding feast, or will they be filthy rags?

Will they be white as snow cleansed by Jesus, or will they be dingy stained tattered rags not worthy of Him?

10. I don't feel outraged I just feel sad about the fate that will come to them after death.

9. Godless evolution gives life no meaning. Simple. But if we are purposely made for a reason then life has meaning. Also it was dust not dirt.

8. Once again, I don't laugh I feel sad. I have never seen a Christian laugh at a polytheist.

7. I don't believe in Allah so I'm not shocked by any “atrocities" he may have committed. And most of the killings in the bible were not commanded/caused by God. Everything he killed was for a reason though.

6. Once again, I don't laugh. Also, most of the Hindu and Greek stories are logical. I just don't believe they're true.

5. I don't look for little holes because there is a huge one. Also the tribesman didn't guess they were told by God.

4. True Christians are tolerant and loving. And it's God who sends you to hell. Not us.

3. Pentecostals are the ones who believe in speaking in tongues. And Christians don't deny proven science or history.

2. Way more prayers are answered than that.

1. All atheists and agnostics I've met know hardly anything about the Bible. They just think they know more because they are arrogant.

I know you probably won't give a sensible answer but I'll just ignore it if that's the case.

You aren't a fundamentalist Christian.

9. The people who claim evolution is godless are theists. Ironic, right?

7. Blaming the victims of God's murders does not allow you to pretend that God didn't command/cause almost all of the killing in the Bible.

3. Not believing in proven science and history is basically the same as denying it.

2. The answer "no" to a prayer shouldn't really be considered an answer.

1. They think they know more because they actually read the Bible instead of twisting it to mean whatever they want.

God is right! In Him there is no left.

No shifting shadow. No darkness.

He is against liberal left views.

He is actually far right.

He says no abortions

He demands a wall and borders

He commands a nation to be separate.

He hates globalization.

Those who bless Israel, He blesses!

He is against lgbt force on society as in the angels visit to Lots house.

He is against forcing suit against the baker for standing on His word.

He calls Islam evil, and

He calls it terror!

He is against social justice! Enslaving man to the sins of their fathers!

Etc etc etc

That's pretty funny, and food for thought, too.

Galatians 4New American Standard Bible (NASB)

4 Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he does not differ at all from a slave although he is owner of everything, 2 but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by the father. 3 So also we, while we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental things of the world. 4 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, 5 so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. 6 Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” 7 Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.

8 However at that time, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature are no gods. 9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again?

We don't live once, in order to make the most of this life we "only live once." We have a beginning point, and then our lives are eternal.

Our life is more like a "ray" ------------------>

"Our lives in this flesh in this world" are line segments, but we are actually rays.

We have one endpoint (our beginning) and we goe on and on in one direction... whichever we choose.

This world is a line segment just like our lives in this carton are -------.

"In the Beginning.... Genesis 1: 1" to Rev 21: 1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; --------------------------

A line segment is just a part of a line, having two endpoints. A beginning and an end.

This world has a beginning point and also an end point. We have a beginning point, but we do NOT have an end point.

We are rays. --------------->

This world is only a line segment! ---------------

"Eternal God" King of Kings, Jesus - He is all lines that have no beginning points and no endpoints.

<--------------------------------------------------------------->

"The truth is our lives in and out of our flesh in this world" - is like a ray, not a line segment.

We are rays of a line. With One Endpoint and then goes on and on in One Direction... beyond the line segment of this world.

Which direction is your ray going?

Which direction are your children's (rays) arrows going?

--------------------->----------------------> --------------------->

Psalm 127 (KJV)

1 Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

3 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

To a generation of kids brought up in faith, youth groups, learning of Jesus, there is a promise specific to your final generation.

Ephesians 6 -------------------->

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 Honor your father and mother (which is the first commandment with a promise), 3 so that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth.

If you do not honor the faith you were given, when He returns you will not inherit the earth!

Our kids used to banter with the next scripture:

Ephesians 6 *----------------------->

4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

But this is actually what it means ... fathers don't provoke your kids to participate in the anger of the world.

Do not provoke your kids to that "anger" even so many so called Bible believers are offering up their children in sacrifice to the world and its violent anger?

Sacrificing them to demons! And by doing so these parents are taking their children's inheritance away from them, their children's long promised life away from them!

Tragic!

The only good that ever came to man was influenced by light and salt. Many are in belief that truth is subjective. And think that mankind is good.

But in reality, the worst violence ever brought were men in opposition to God, His ways, and His people, Jews and Christians.

While making every conspiracy known to man in attempts to subdue and rule all. Even in everyday life, men without fear of God in many cultures and classes are the rot in every way throughout all of society.

And the more immoral, the quicker its fall.

So much so, that it is a high point of infiltration in taking down nations. Literally a bullet point to take down societies and nations!

Your idealism is merely your own pleasant good mind fooling you to see a rose colored picture that doesn't exist.

Without faith we would not have had the 1000s of years we have had. Because God's people, both the church and Israel in the world, have actually built everything good in the world, while evil men have taken it by force and steering.

The whole thing is a war between good and evil. And we salt and light have kept evil at bay. But now even our influence has waned. So as the light goes out, darkness right?

How dark is it getting? Do you have spiritual discernment? Or is your mind darkened?

Less salt, now it's not salty enough, now it is rotting. Eyes to see, ears to hear?

He is coming soon! Then what?

So as nice as you are, you have been influenced by a culture, not just America. I mean God's people who were just and fair, while bringing the best of humanity through YHWY and Yushua to be a strength and a hope in even the darkest of times.

Now I don't expect you to see that. But its actually the truth!

At that time .. Jesus said .. I praise you .. father .. Lord of heaven and earth ..

that you have hidden these things from the "wise and intelligent" (lol) and have revealed them to infants

yes .. father .. for this way was well-pleasing in your sight .... Matthew 11:25

Understanding the wisdom of God .... The Christian on his knees can see farther than the philosopher on his tiptoes ..

for spiritual truth can be perceived only by the spiritually prepared mind ..

the truths of God are foolishness and trifling to a carnal mind ..

the only way to understand spiritual truth is to yield to the author of it .. the Holy Spirit . . . .

I Corinthians 2:2 Christ and him crucified .. is the sum and substance of the Gospel ..

to display the banner of the cross and invite people under it should be the principal business of the ministers
