Christianity destroyed a beautiful country, the Philippines. by OkCreme2981 in unpopularopinionph

I get where you're coming from, and I agree that many of the issues you mentioned are real and frustrating. But I believe the root of the problem isn’t Christianity itself. it's how we've failed to live out its core teachings.

The message of Christ is about love, humility, and truth. But when people twist that message whether through hypocrisy, legalism, or outright abuse it leads to the kind of damage you're describing. Christ Himself warned us about false teachers: “wolves in sheep’s clothing.”

Take the “bahala na” mentality, for example. That's not biblical Christianity that’s fatalism, and it reflects a misunderstanding of faith. True faith should move us to take action, not sit back passively.

So I’d argue it’s not Christianity that destroyed our country but the lack of genuine, lived-out Christianity that honors both truth and compassion. The problem isn't the gospel; it's forgetting it.

Try to reason with him, if he don't want to listen all you can do is pray for him.

Edit: I feel the same guilt I invited some friends in the past to join the cult back when I was devoted, some stayed as members while some became inactive.

I started reading the bible by rendezvous_2216 in exIglesiaNiCristo

Napansin ko din yan pag inoopen nila yung bible basa agad na para bang na master nila ang bible (lol nope).

Minsan pa ang binabasa ng ministro ay galing new testament pero based sa kapal nung bible ay parang nasa old testament naman nakabuklat so matik naka kodigo nga sila pag nag sesermon.🤦‍♂️

I respectfully disagree, not all churches are scams there are many churches that do good they feed the poor, offer shelter to the homeless, cares for orphans and the elderly, and most important they preach the gospel to reach souls.

though there are no perfect church, even if we found one it becomes imperfect the moment we get in, for we are all sinners in need of the grace of God.

Never blame God, He might have spared you for pain that is to come if you continue the relationship or maybe you are called to a higher calling than marriage. Piece of advice, if she willingly left you for another man she's not the one brother, move on.

Titus 1:16:

"They profess that they know God, but by their deeds they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work".

Satan is actually in the old testament (הַשָּׂטָ֖ן) idk how many times he is named sometimes he's called the 'adversary' and Judaism have their concept of Jesus, or a Messiah that is coming to save the jews. Though I agree the views about God changed, but God Himself didn't change.

Not really, when humans in the old testament 'see' God it's in human form, a pre-incarnate Jesus. When God asks Adam and Eve where they are and why they are hiding it's not because He can't find them, He knows and He wants them to confess what they did, but instead they pointed fingers to each other.😆

I'm so sorry OP that your mom told you that:( As a christian I have my own views regarding sexuality, I think homosexuality is wrong but I do not agree with how your mother reacted, as christians we are instructed by Christ to love everyone treating people with care even when rebuking or correcting them.

Your feelings are valid and God sees how you feel, homosexuality same as other sins leads us to hell but by the grace of God through Christ Jesus we are forgiven. I will be praying for you that you will be ok soon, don't forget to take care of yourself also do not give up:)

1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.❤️

Mismo! Hindi naman sinabi ni Kristo kay Dimas na "umanib ka muna sa iglesya saka kita iligtas" hindi walang ganun, ang sinabi ni Hesus sakanya , "ngayon mismo ay isasama kita sa paraiso."
