Why is it when people ask bible questions and then get offended at Bible Answers?

Honey, it's sharper than a two-edged sword.  You are responsible for revealing the truth.  You are not responsible for the reactions.  Leave that part to God.  The word says it will not return void, so even if someone cyberspits in your face, the seed is planted.  Shine on!

They wouldn't ask if they thought things were a-okay.  Asking doesn't validate the behavior, but liberal answers, not based on Scripture say - oh hey be who you are, no worries.  they buy into.  but it isn't like that, as i wrote on your last question.

most of us are offended by the individuals--not the faith or religion, the people themselves--why can't you grasp that concept?

I think most people ask questions with a sincere desire to find answers to their unresolved problems.  Some ask to be reassured, some to ridicule and some have a preconceived viewpoint and want to be vindicated.  Those people do not consider another point of view and are rather insulting to those who have a different belief.

Don't feel bad. People jump to conclusions all of the time. I made the mistake of asking "Is masturbating a sin?" Not because I was doing it, but because I wanted a biblical answer to a question I was asked. I gave details, but some people acted like I was doing it. I just wanted an answer I still haven't gotten. So don't take it personally. Some people just aren't that smart (ato put it nicely).

well..first of all its important to remember religion IS a VERY sensitive and personal matter to talk about and discuss. so i guess it only natural for people to be defensive about it. not only for christian, but for any religion and believes.\nthat's why i think we should be really careful and sensitive in posing Q and A in this topic. Especially if its not about yours. \nin critical matter...guess its just part of our curiosity towards the whole thing. sort of our way to understand and  find believe, by relating it to the facts an evidences .and i strongly believe no one have the right to be rude about it!

You know, I get the impression that many of your questions in this catagory are simply meant to provoke others for your amusement in their answers. \nI'm not attacking your beliefs--and I say beliefs because I've seen that it takes as much faith to be an athiest as it does a Christian. \nIf you have a genuine purpose to asking these questions other than laughing at the people who take them seriously, I'd like to know... actually I'd be pretty interested.\nthanks,\nJB

Most comments that are made is made as an insult. If people could ask a serious question and not one based in hate there would be no problem.\n\nI try to educate not start more problems. But when some people say things that are wrong it might come off as if I am rude. \n\nBut if you think about it if you make fun of Jesus (pbah) or a Christian than Christians no longer have a since of humor and people think that we want to fight.\n\nIn general we are very peaceful

I'm not quite sure why you're worried about God being offended with two guys----being a practicing homosexual is wrong in God's eyes and that didn't seem to stop you doing that.  \n\nYour question is a bit obtuse.

I think it is horrible that people of any faith would post such nasty comments. I am a believer in God, but do not call myself a Christian. I have had bad experiences with them like yours. These people are not being very good Christians as they are going against a lot of what the bible teaches, ie tolerance and not judging others. You should ignore these people and keep asking questions. It is how we learn and understand.

You see how angry Christians get when you call the Bible "fairy tales"?  The reason they get so angry is because you are attacking the very foundation of their lives, and their perception of their entire world.\n\nThey have never considered an existence without a belief in these fairy tales.  And for you to call them this, is a stoning offense.\n\nThat's why they still believe them.  They have been brainwashed since birth to give credence to the bible.  And no matter how ridiculous these beliefs may be, they won't dare question it, and will react quite angrily to anyone who does.  And I think in most cases, insulting their intelligence actually has the opposite effect you would desire.\n\nInstead, I would simply post non-offensive questions that they will have to think about to answer.  That's all you can do.  Get them thinking.  Because they won't listen to what you or I tell them.  They'll have to open their own eyes first.

I think it does sharpen your beliefs when someone challenges them. Sometimes the anger that people show is insecurity in what they believe. They don't know how to answer a question someone asks them and so they lash out at the person for even asking.  When people ask what I believe it also helps me to examine what I believe and creates a dialog between the two of us.

this may or may not be true.  Perhaps these rude folk have their questions bounced for rudeness!  who knows! lol\nthe fellow making the comment about questioning the Lord was making a joke.\nChristians ask questions all the time, and learn stuff too.

I think it's because alot of bible pushers here are vary arrogant and offensive.  they don't do the religion justice by acting like the way they do.

its all over yahoo answers...the questions either amount to little more than a rant about something, or the person asking is fishing for the answer they would give.  i would like to the think that the best answer would actually be just that, the answer that though its not what one wants to hear is the most informative or interesting...but nope...heck even some of my best answers have not been the best of the ones posted for a question.\nthe religious section is filled with it as well, like when someone asks, "is there a god, what do we need god for?" they seem to just be looking for someone to say of course and post the bible passage that says so, when it could be an interesting discussion.\nmore people just think they are right and want it validated i guess rather than to feel challenged...

Because of answers like the first one posted. \n\nIf Christians quoted the Bible only when asked specific questions relating to the scripture rather than recycling quotes to suit their opinions and degrade other people, I'm quite sure there'd be less friction in this category.
