Why Do Christians Want the Rest of the World to Think and Believe the Same as Them? Part II

 

From a comment on a Christian blog: “Why does it matter so much to Christians that the rest of the world think and believe the same as them? I don't understand it.” The short answer to this question is this; the Christian does not necessarily want you to think and believe like him. He wants you to think and believe the same as God. Every honest Christian would have to admit that he does not always think like God thinks, therefore he should not want you to think like himself where he does not think like God. However in as much as the Christian thinks like God he is going to want you to think and believe the same as he.
At a deeper level the Christian merely wants the rest of the world to be honest with themselves. You see, the Christian believes the Bible to be the revealed Word of God. Therefore, he believes what the Bible says. God has revealed in Romans chapter 1 verse 19 that all people know God, “for God hath showed it unto them.” Romans chapter 1 goes on to say that people have suppressed the knowledge of God that is within them.
Putting aside the question of the truth of the Bible for a moment, most of you would agree with most Christians that self-deception is a harmful attitude. If you understand that Christians believe that the Bible says that the rest of world is suppressing God given knowledge of Himself it should now be clear why they want the “rest of the world [to] think and believe the same as them.” They simply want the rest of the world to stop deceiving themselves.
This revelation may not cause you to admit that the God of the Bible is real, and that His Word is true. You may not like the fact that Christians believe that everyone really believes that the God of the Bible is real. However, knowing that they truly believe this you should no longer be able to say “I don't understand it.” Christians would not be true to their belief if they did not want “the rest of the world [to] think and believe the same as them.”

Christian--Engage the culture for King Jesus!

Arm yourself with a knowledge of Christian history and culture by browsing the information throughout the pages of this blog!

The Christian is admonished to engage his culture throughout scripture. In fact the very first commandment, known as the dominion mandate, is found in Genesis 1:28. In order for the Christian to engage culture in an effective manner, it is helpful for him to have a Christian worldview and knowledge of his history and culture.

Without a Christian worldview the Christian may engage his culture, but he may be doing more harm than good by the choices he makes. As he develops his worldview based on Biblical principles, the Christian will need to know what is happening in the culture and politics so he can fight the good fight of faith to conform them to the Word of God. Finally, a Christian view of history arms him with encouragement and examples from that "great cloud of witnesses" that went on before him in the age-long battle for the kingdom of God.

The Christian Worldview of History and Culture blog has been created to arm the Christian with all of these tools. You will be able to browse categories within this blog that address various issues facing the American culture today. Some of the material posted here will be relevant for the moment, while many articles will proclaim principles that the Christian can use to discern for himself what the Biblical response is to the issue he is facing.

Now, browse the categories to the left and get started with your attack on the "gates of Hell".
