I am a new believer. Recently, I went for house blessing. When we were praying in one of the room (which will be for the owner's parent, who is a non-believer), to my surprised, I heard a prayer saying something like wishing this person will loose interest in whatever he/she is praying, which I think is not respecting the elderly parent. Does this sounds like a "curse" or a "blessing"?
In Exodus 20:4-5, "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD you God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,"
I know it is wrong to pray to idols, because they are only humans. But when we start to feel jealous or to "curse" other religions, it is like declaring a "war". I thought God wants us to have peace among us and to love each other? But then if God is jealous, then humans will get jealous more easily, right? There should be other ways to get those non-believers to join us, right? We should tell them our God is a loving God, which I am very thankful to Him. This is why I started to accept Him. Lord, I want to Thank You for giving me a chance to know You.
When Yahweh took the Israelites out of egypt, what did He tell them to do? When Yeshua was in the temple, what did he over turn and destroy in His anger? Yes Yahweh is a loving Father, yet He is also a jealous God. You shall have no other gods before me. What does that mean to you?
new believer, brey is very correct..onc you accepted yodh heh waw heh as your God.you must know that all other are false gods by man and demons.declaring a war on other false religions is doing what God wills. as all other false religions are vey detestable in God's eyes.
by the way, the group u in isnt very good too...jus by doin what the person did has proven that..
love the sinner, hate the sin.
the thing about christianity is.. it's rather absolute. we believe that there is only one true God.
if we say we believe that, means we also believe that other gods aren't true, and if they're not gods, they're demons.
after all, christianity believe in two powers, one from God and the other from satan.
so ya. it's nothing wrong.
everytime we preach the gospel, we're declaring war. everytime someone receives Jesus, we're robbing hell.
but remember, love the sinner. hate the sin.
