Some people who don’t agree with Christianity deem it offensive and insulting to be FALSELY labeled as “unbelievers.” I BELIEVE in truths, which means that I am a believer. ALL people are believers . . .
The spiritual posture of many Christians is that ONLY Christians are believers. Everybody else is an unbeliever? How arrogant . . .
Christians attach “believers” as EXCLUSIVE to them and that’s offensive and out of order . . .
Bible worship can aid in people clinging to bigotry, and belief systems that demean folks who don't believe as Christians do. Many Christians behave in postures that are indicative that they're in the "EXCLUSIVE CLUB" of believers. Nobody but them are believers. Really? Puh-leeze.
Darla (in another group) had mentioned relative to non-Christians -- about not casting PEARLS before swine and wiping dust off feet if non-Christians persist in resisting the gospel message (That's the gist of what she expressed.) My response: So only Christians are in "PEARLS" arena? Everybody else is swine? How arrogant . . .
Bible worshipers are some of the most offensive and unloving people on the planet. I'm well familiar because I was one of them, and came to recognize my own bigotry and disorderly conduct relative to those who weren't/aren't in the "EXCLUSIVE CHRISTIAN CLUB."
Just because people don't agree with the ways of Christianity doesn't place us in the category of "unbelievers" that Christians so readily toss out in reference to us. Who do Christians think they are . . . ?
Relative to referencing those people who don’t agree with Christianity -- better terms to use rather than the erroneous “unbelievers” -- are “non-Christians” or “non-followers of Jesus Christ.” Does anyone have any other ACCURATE descriptions? -- because using “unbelievers” to describe folks who don’t believe the Christian way -- ISN’T accurate.
