Christians, In today's decaying world, isn't it more important than ever to stand up for Jesus Christ?

Question

I'm sure many atheists will throw in their two cents and say that I'm mean because I'm talking about God. Oh well. They hate me anyway, so why play to a crown that can't stand you anyway.

I think it's important for Christians to stand proud and admit out loud that we are living our lives for Jesus Christ.

Maybe some of this new age and PC gaga that is ruining our schools wouldn't be running amock if more people would read their Bibles and live their faith publicly.

I live my life for Jesus Christ. No apologies!

Answer 1

Yes--If atheist don't believe there is a God you would think they would realize that this is a religion in it self. However why would they care what we preach in our systems? Since it (according to them) doesn't matter anyway. A Christian is anyone that believes in Jesus Christ (period) no matter what faith you are. No apologies here either.  

Answer 2

Amen.

Jesus rocks!

Answer 3

Being omnipotent, shouldn't he be able to stand up for himself?

Oh an the difference between hate and scornful pity is generally quite noticeable to most people.  What's your problem there?.

Answer 4

The Jesus story is a myth.  No apologies.

Rev. Neil

Answer 5

I don't "hate" you, nor anyone for that matter.

I just don't want your religion and it's beliefs imposed upon me.

Answer 6

Our next-door neighbor's name is Jesus Alvarez.

As for your question, maybe you should read the ENTIRE bible.

Answer 7

The world is not decaying,  it is your religion's grasp around people that is.  Even in you, religion does not have nearly as much of a grip around your life as it did for people a few centuries ago.

The world is very much alive, and we are advancing.  

Answer 8

eh, they are on their own journeys.  I believe in Jesus, and He is my Savior, and I won't back down from anyone who tries to tell me different.

Answer 9

Jesus is dead.

If he was "god" he should be able to stand up for himself.

Answer 10

What's  most  important  for  me  is.That   JESUS    STOOD   UP  FOR  ME.To  acknowledge   his  work  in  my  life   and   how  I'm   effected   by  that   is  very  important  to  me.Your    right   in  this  as  each  of  us  has  a  testimony     in regards   to   the  work  of   CHRIST    in  our  lives.Yes    it  is more  important  now  than  ever   to    make  mention   of  the  glory  of  the  LORD.    THANK  YOU  D'S

Answer 11

What does that mean exactly, "living your life for jesus christ?"

Does it mean you work among the poor, give all your money to the needy? Do you wash the feet of people with AIDS?  Do you thrash the moneychangers in your town who put wealth before a spiritual life?

Do you walk in Jesus' footsteps, in other words, or do you think that just "believing" in Jesus is enough for you to do?

I'm not bugging you, this is a serious response to your question.

Answer 12

I see a Pharisee.

Answer 13

If the world is decadent [in the process of decay], then Christianity is largely responsible for that decadence.

Nietzsche.

Answer 14

Yeah, equality and moral progress in our societies sure is a terrible thing.

You don't sound 'christ like' at all.  

Answer 15

O tempora. O mores. Some Roman from 2000+ years ago!

Answer 16

Amen Brother!  This is no time for Christians to be straddling the fence so to speak, either we are for Christ, or against Him.  He tells us in Revelation that if we are lukewarm, He will spew or spit us out of His mouth - very sobering words to keep in mind.  God bless you!!!

Answer 17

Amen.

Answer 18

No.  the bible has been so thoroughly discredited that it's time to admit that "god" and jesus are myths.

Answer 19

I've read the Bible, it's disgusting how anyone would consider worshiping the monster in that book. Have you actually read the Bible?

I don't dislike anyone, regardless of their beliefs. I would only like to help stop the insanity and spread of religious hatred and bigotry.

Answer 20

Though I like to agree with you but cool it.  Don't bring yourself down to their level (the mockers).

Answer 21

I don't hate you, I don't even know you.  The truth is, and it is something that religious folks (and out-of-favor politicians) try desperately to deny, is that the world is not decaying.  By any meaningful measure - health, wealth,education, safety - the world has steadily been getting better and better, not worse.  Across the board, people live longer, healthier, safer, more educated and more affluent lives than at any time in history.To assert anything else is only willful ignorance.

Answer 22

Jesus, if he ever existed, is dead long time ago.

If he possessed ´´god´´ like qualities, he would take care of him self.

Your argument is flawed

Answer 23

Yeah, be sure to tell perfect strangers about Jesus today.  Approach random people on the street and "Sing His Praise" or whatever.  Random strangers really dig this.

Godsgrace:  Uh, it's spelled "ignorance", not "igonorance".

Answer 24

what kind of stand up you mean? remember what Jesus said to peter when he stood up for him at the time he was caught. but i agree with you that we should admit out loud that we are living our lives for Jesus Christ, but the most important thing is we do live our life for Jesus. I think it's not the right time for Christianity to convert other people to our faith, but to lie our life as christian in this decaying world.

thank you,  keep the faith always.  

Answer 25

Who says the world is decaying? Why is it? Because no one isn't thinking like you anymore. I don't care, live your life for God, just don't force you beliefs on me. Oh yeah, people probably hate you because you're probably an douche, not because you talk about God.

Answer 26

BUT...

What if "HE" doesn't show???

What if there is none but ME as Lord???

Answer 27

I agree with you. I am not ashamed to say that I live for Christ! The igonorance of atheist, you have to look past! Pray for them! LOL

Answer 28

I do agree on many of your statements

Answer 29

I'm not going to say you're wrong. Nobody has any right to. And atheists don't hate you, they just don't want another person's beliefs forced onto them.

Regardless, it shouldn't be just now that you stand up for Jesus. You should be doing that everyday. Our troubled times right now don't really give an excuse to worship him more. It makes no sense. Love him, live for him, worship him and all that jazz, but you should do it everyday, not just because this world is "decaying". It's like saying you should love someone more on Valentine's Day than any other day.

Answer 30

I would just like to mention that almost all of the political correctness fecal matter is lobbied for by christians.

I would also like to say that our two cents are worth just as much as your two cents, so, when you demean our right to speak and be heard, you demean your own.

Atheistically yours,

And if you were born in Pakistan, you'd be living your life for Allah.  Religion is so patently silly...
