why should i be a proud christian when i see priests raping kids and sleeping around ?

if they are lying and manipulating where do they have the right to judge us and pretend to be god's soldiers .the funny bit is that we still go to church and give them money to build better churches and use the most expensiveley designed clothes etc...

God does not ask you to follow men....He asks you to believe in His son.
Looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the rock this morning.!
If it bothers you too much, change your faith.
hypocrisy has been a normal integral part of most religion - why does it surprise you?
I am a proud christian, not a proud catholic. CAtholic was out of the pagan system and believes more in saints and mary than Jesus. They are not encouraged to read the Bible....its a lot messed up in my opinion. David
it's like politics. You get into it to change it. You don't ignore it cause it's bad.
There are bad people everywhere...some teachers are bad, some priests are bad, and even some mothers are bad. These are the works of satan...we, as christians, need to stand up for what is right and the truth. Do not give up your faith because of these demons.
wah, that normal for human wat, priests should not do it when got people see it wat, or no get in trouble lol...
Instead of being proud which you should not be according to the scriptures, maybe you should pray for them? No?....Pride goeth before destruction. Proverbs 16:18
agreed and well said. that's why I'm an atheist right now. just doesn't make sense does it.
That's why I'm not invovled with organized religion, I have NO ONE to be responsible for except ME and I'm far from perfect and don't pretend to be!
because you remember all the other 99 % of priests who do something the rest of us cannot...give their lives up for the masses in serve of christ and others. priests cannot get married. priests cannot have childre or families. priests cannot better themselves financially...or make a worldly name for themselves. when you're a priest..you're a priest for life. and serving others IS your life. it is a man's job. put your money where your mouth is before you speak...
Priests are not the only ones who committed these acts. Pedophilia is in every walk of life.If you are seeing priests molesting children why have you not called the police?
pride is a deadly sin--proud christian is an oxymoron
You shouldn't be, just be a normal individual and love everybody instead of just Christians.
Catholics have priests. Christians do not.
Its not all churches, I would say in my opinion,from the news....catholic.Plus...being proud is not christian. I am hearing you! but you know this is end times?
While the Catholic Church has a problem regarding immoral sexual behavior by its priests, one must remember that the overwhelming majority of priests DO NOT perform such acts. The overwhelming majority of priest have committed themselves to a life of serving the community. Now, the fancy clothes, the huge cathedrals, the hierarchy, the exclusivity of The Church...all these things are up to question. Immoral priests? Throw them in prison, and throw away the key. Just don't generalize and judge the entire church because of the actions of a few. (I'm not Catholic, by the way)
Actually the term "proud christian" is a contradiction in terms. Join a group of believers where that kind of garbage isn't going on. True christianity does exist. And it has onthing to do with the stuff you are talking about.
I am sorry if i offend people, but the Catholic religion is like an insulting religion to actual Christianity. They make up a lot of stuff and they don't even follow their own teachings. They think just because THEY spread the good news(but dont follow it themself) and are PRIESTS they think they'll go to heaven, but no, you need to actually ACCEPT CHRIST! and YOU MUST ACCEPT BABTISM not be forcefully babtised as a baby.
Look, I'm not one to immediately defend Christians, but those people you are talking about that do those things are a special kind of sick. It's not their religion that makes them that way. Being "Christian" has nothing to do with it. They deserve the blame, not Christianity.
u shud be proud of ur good deeds. some ppl are nice and some are bad. u can still find kindness in satan sect and vice versa. do not be ashamed of urself because of these fake jerks. proof urself and to ur people, that u are truely a good christian.
You can be a proud Christian without being proud of the bad so-called Christians. Keep following Christ and doing what is right, and let the bad seeds go their own way. Christ will deal with them separately.
Christianity was not founded on a building but on the Lord Jesus. We need to keep our hearts and minds on the things of Christ and not on this world. We are all sinners in need of a saviour! Jesus is that Saviour! We also must walk out our own salvation! We also need to pray for those who have fallen into grievous sin that they would repent and come back to God!
One thing we must remember is they are men Yes they are priest also and I am disgusted with what I read,But I try to see the other side of things.and my faith in God helps me through it. There are many who do these horrible things to kids, and it is hard to imagine that the priest who says the mass maybe be one of them. So I pray for strength and I pray for him because he will live with this the rest of his life.
you are right.But if you are a good christian,living or trying to live as Jesus was living;when you die,you will go to heaven;and those bad priests or pastors will go directly to hell.So,be proud yourself to be a good christian,a good soldier of God.That the Bible teach us.Good question.God bless you every day in your life.
Give names of these priests or get off your witch hunt.
you should not let anyone good or bad change your faith If you believe in God , you know these people will pay for what they have done .nobody says you have to give money to the church give it to your nearest woman's shelter or some children's charity.
That doesn't make you not a proud Christian it would make you not a proud Catholic. Not all Christians are Catholics. Find another church. There are many out there who aren't as sepulchers - white and clean on the outside but rotten and dead on the inside. I personally believe there will be a special place in hell for those who rob the innocence of children while hiding behind the name of God. What is happening to you is not a revelation of truth about God Himself but a revelation of truth about your church.
1. preists are not christan, nor are you. 2. No one is perfect, nor are you 3. just because you sin does not mean you should do no good
You should be proud because you are not them and dont have to do things that are wrong. There are more of you out there than there are of them
You should be a proud christian because of what Christ did for us! It says in the bible that if we are ashamed of him he will be ashamed of us before God in the day of judgement!! What you are seeing is the devil dispatching his lust, greed, pride, and lying demons on the preist in a successful attempt to discredit the christian church. No one is perfect, we all (including the priests ) have issues that we need God to deliver us from. Just read your bible everyday and keep a tight relationship with God. Do not let the priest be a model of a good christian because they are incapable of doing that! We should follow Jesus teachings and pray for your religious leaders. Trust me you are going to see more mess than that in the church but the question is.... Do you love God enough to keep your faith?? Jesus didn't even judge people! Just Know that Only God can judge you, and find a church home full of people who will pray for you and support you in your walk with Christ!! It is my prayer that you stay encouraged and faithful! I want to personally let you know that the preist SHOULD be a model of christianity but oftentimes they are not! You just read your bible and follow the commandments because God sees you and will reward those that endured!!! Be Blessed!
1.Thanks to GOD, I have not born in Christan Religion 2.Thanks to GOD, You have took out me from the mesh of all Religions.
The priests are CATHOLIC!
We all sin and fall short of the glory of God. There is none perfect, no not one. No matter what others are doing that say they are Christians. I am very proud to be a Christian. You have to look at it like this, even the Word of God says that not everyone who calls on the name of the Lord are truly His disciples. Also, we all sin. There is no sin that is greater than any other. It may seem like it because of the world's values. But murder is sin just as fornication and raping kids. Sin is sin. Your job should be the best Christian you can be to show others that no all Christians are the same. What someone else does while calling on the name of the Lord, they will have to give an account for that to God themselves. As I have stated before, why does any one have a problem when men and women of God live well. No one argues that rappers, movie stars and the like live well off money they have spent making them wealthy. May God Bless
u should be a proud christian because you are in the army of the Lord's not a priest or preacher or congregation. Your works you do as a christian are to edify the Lord and tell of his good works in your life. a lot of people who do evil things like what you mentioned are under satanic attack and instead of seeking and talking w/ God before contemplating those things, they chose to follow the devil's plan instead of the Lord's plan and they will; as you can see; continuously be put out there for the whole world to see their wrong, we are not to judge them, that's the Lord's position, we are to pray for them...matt 7:1-4 and those who claim to be christians..."faith without works is dead" God will tell them, matt. 7:21. As christians we are to "put on the whole armor of God..." Romans 14:13-14.
listen!!! every faith has that!! OK! but many priests are good and clean and holy the world is dark but the sun is shining on the other side of the earth everyday look at the good side maybe its hard but you will learn.
You should be a proud Christian because you have not fallen into these sins. How are they manipulating. They preach that it is wrong to rape, and then they themselves do it. That is not manipulating anyone. That is them falling into a sin they knwo to be wrong. Is this hypocrisy? Yes. Is this wrong? Yes. Does this undermine Christian values and teachings? Yes. Does this destroy Christianity? Of course not. This is why we should be proud Christians. Even when said followers of Christ fall into the traps of the devil, Christianity will stand strong because Jesus has told his Church that he will be with us until the end. God bless, Shane
If priests rape and molest little children, does that make evolution true and creationism wrong? If a pastor is found to be in a homosexual relationship, does that make Jesus a fraud? Are the ten commandments void because your local minister steals money from the church to support his gambling habit? Truth is truth, no matter what the actions of the professed believers of that truth.
As Christians,we aren't to be proud. We're to be humble. We can be meek and still hold our heads high,despite the persecution that we endure at every turn. Also,as Christians,we are to keep our eyes on God, NOT on man. These priests,evangelists,pastors,preachers, etc., who are pretending to do God's will while doing evil things behind closed doors are leading people astray rather than leading people to God,and they will be held accountable for it. In the meantime, we cannot blame God for what they do,and we cannot lose faith in God, for it is not God doing these evil things,but man.
Be a proud christian if you're not hypocrites like them. They shall receive their dues on judgement day. We can't change the world but we can change ourselves. And stop going to Church for the sake of going & still giving these hypocrites money to con more people. The Lord says where two or three are gather in his name, it is a church. There are true practicing christians out there & one day we shall all come home to the Lord!
