If you despise someone so much that you "pray for them", why would you want to spend eternity with them?

It's a way of insulting someone.  Same for when you disagree for them and they say they'll pray for you.  It's a direct insult to you and you should take it as such.  \n\nThey have no proof, but they are willing to worship a god who will condemn you and your family to eternal torture if you are not "born again", yet they claim they don't understand why that is offensive.  \n\nThe answer is that they know exactly what they are doing.  They are insulting you and trying to hide behind the fact that you will "respect their religion" and not hold them accountable for the outrageous and insulting things they say and their evil wishes that they have for your and others like you if you don't bend to their belief system.\n\nMy advice is when someone says they will "pray for you" after a religious argument or discussion, say, "Oh please don't, I don't want God to think we're friends."\n\nI have to respond to the comment that "If you don't like someone, you can still love them."  That is a load of crap.  The reason it's hard to love your neighbor is that you have to like them too.  Christ wasn't passive-agressive, and neither should his followers be.

Nope.  At the very least it shows that I am important enough to that person that they are willing to make the effort to remember me in their prayers.  Why would anyone get upset that another person is concerned about them?  It's not like they're trying to convert me to their religion.  They are simply appealing to their beliefs to help me.

It's simple they actually hate this God that uses the threat of hell to lure them in and now they want to make sure the rest of us are as miserable as they are.\n\nThey can't have a good orgasm anymore because their God has an eternal limp dick and so we are evil if we have sex! (Unless your a priest then have all the gay sex you want God understand)

Why are you so hateful towards Christians? Does it help you feel better about your worthless life by demeaning others? Can you not think of a better outlet for your anger?

They hate us (Christians) and God because Jesus said they would.\n\nJohn 15:18 (NIV)\n"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember the words  I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master. Because they persecuted me, they will persecute you also.They will treat you this way becasue of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates me hates my father as well. If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have heard both me and my Father. But this is to fulfill what is written in their law: They hated me without reason.'"\n\nSo if/when you are persecuted, count it an honor. It is because you belong to the Lord and are one with Him also. God bless you my brother. :)

When people who are sinners are casting stones, so to speak, at Christians, we Christians have to take it with a grain of salt and pray for them.  I once said to my Mother, "I'm trying to live the most Christ-like life I can".  My Mom said, "Yeah, and look what they did to Him"!  They want to continue sinning and live their lives in ignorance of God.  What they say is said out of ignorance and self-will.  God would not want us to make fun of them (or mock them).  We must pray for them.  Tell them, "I will pray for you".  Do not tell them to get a life!  Forgive them of their ignorance.

No, I don't.\n\nI am not God, the searcher of human hearts and the ultimate judge of all people. So I refrain from even pretending to know where anyone--including myself--will spend eternity. I am familiar with God's main requirement for entry into heaven--but it is in the other points of Christian theology that I am uncertain...and rightfully so.\n\nIf other Christians are saying literally, "You are [or someone else is] going to Hell," they are self-righteous and prideful, and God will bring them to account as well. How, only he knows--but rest assured that such an offense, the one of imagining oneself sitting on God's throne, will not be overlooked by the almighty.

Main pet hate: Evangelical street preachers sending folks to hell, sight unseen, before they are even close to being dead, and in general the roving flocks of bleating sheeple who back them up.\n\nWhat do I do about it: I ignore them as much as humanly possible and really only get screechy in their faces right back at them once every few months or so....\n\nI mean, life is too short to deal with so-called "thoughtful humans" (that literal translation of Homo Sapiens) who *willfully* cease to think, *willfully* aspire to be like herd animals, and then *insist* that their so-called Good Book (published by us unworthy humans no less!) gives them the divine right to be dictators over us all....life is too short to deal with *that* kind of migraine.\n\nAnd it is also too short to spend in prison for actually slaughtering them and *completing* their "total sheep experience", you know?  :))  *lol*

God does not what you to be damned so he sent Jesus!\n\nWhen you reject him and basically say screw you GOD go away, he does what you ask. \n\nOnce you are dead and do not have GOD stopping you from over comsuming on sin, you will continue to be tortured by not being able to control yourself. Kinda like drug users who destroy there lives for drugs!\n\nBut if god made you a robot so you had no choice to choose or reject him, you would be mad as well, I will post a question called GOd and hell, so you can reply there!\n\n\npart 2\nIt is hard to understand how serious sin is to GOD!  It is hard for me to understand that as simple as GOD's plan for redemption is, people reject it! It is not like GOD set it up so you had to do all these things to work for forgiveness. IF GOD would have required me to do things I could not, then punished me for not being able to do it, I would agree with you. since GOD made it as easy as believing he did all the work and just wants me to believe he did! It is as simple as believing in GOD! \n\n\nI also know GOD characteristics of Love, Mercy, Justice!\n\nIs GOD a sadistic Creator for giving free will? \nIs man sadistic for choosing to be separated from GOD?\nJustice requires consequence for choice!\n\nI rest that when it is done we will agree that GOD acted fairly in Love, Mercy, and Justice.\n\n\nI will check my question for more replies! GOOD Question though!

Those who hate God, will always hate those who follow God.

It seems to be human nature to hate those who are different from us. I guess my advice is to show them that you don't need to believe in God to be a good person. Do volunteer work maybe. Or an easier solution would be to ignore them.

being jealous is the same as judging other people, so i would say Christians would sin for not putting god first\n\nPutting god first is a commandment: Let go and let god

Nope, He does't appreciate it! Jesus honored His mother, why shouldn't we? He said to imitate Him! Dishonoring His holy mother is not imitating Him! I don't get why they think we worship Mary when we tell them over and over again that we don't! \nWe pray to her because she is much closer to God than we are. If you can ask you friend to pray for you, why wouldn't you ask her to pray for you? She is the holiest person that ever lived!

keep on praying my friend, In Matthew 5:43-45 You have heard that it has been said, Thou shall love thy neighbour, and hate thy enemies. Ves44 BUT I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them which despitefully use you and persecute you. That you may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good-sendeth the rain on the just and on the unjust.....People who despises you it's because they see the greatness in you, they see the hands of God upon your life, they are just jealous- so let not your heart be troubled believe in God, your Faith with get your through it all. God bless you
