Should Christians respect other religions?
This isn't a question as to whether or not believers should have compassion on the lost. It's a question about the various religions that are contrary to the God of the Bible.

Well what did Jesus say and do about them?
He was kind to the Samaritan woman, despite their religious differences.
I have an idea 💡 let's act as he did.
He also told us to love one another as we would be loved. How do you want others to treat you and your religion?
We are told not to be idolators, but He did not waste time "disrespecting" them so why would you?
And that is a common theme in this thread, what is underlying your inquiry?
I suspect you are looking for heavenly permission to be a self-rigjteous jerk. Lots of Christians have done so, you will not be the first by a long shot.
Every person you dissuade from Christianity is a disservice to our Lord.
Unlike the TV preachers of mega churches that I get accused of being, I'm Not in a popularity contest.
I get absolutely No donations or money from any source here. What I offered has been given freely. It is by heavenly permission and by command. Some don't like it, but that's their call........and yours.
The gospel of John will be a good place to start reading the Bible.
Here's a section that you made a passing comment about.
John chapter 4
"Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
You might not think He was being very polite, perhaps even rude to tell that Samaritan woman that she did Not know God.
"
Ye worship ye know not what."
Did Jesus respect her religion that was sending her and her people to Hell?
What did Jesus say that God requires?
"they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in
truth."
He could have been like the liberal pastors and their followers like this forum is full of in large part. Certainly many of the vocal ones. They don't like the exclusive nature of God, His Word and His Only Way of escaping the fire they are condemned to. It might seem heartless of me, but I make that way clear as can be. It's too important than to be wrong on this point.
Jesus is THE Truth Who is exclusive of all other false christs. The Moonies got mad at me because they teach that Jesus, Buddha, Moses, SunYung Moon, and half a dozen others are reincarnated equals.
The Hindus, however worship all kinds of demons that teach them that damnable heresy. Demons want humanity in that place prepared for them. Buddhists worship devils. I have no respect for devil's or their religions.
I CARE enough to tell Hindus and you that that is a lie.
Jesus condemned idolaters over and over and over again.
Read the Bible just once from cover to cover and you might understand that Truth and believe on Him.
He showed kindness to the woman in spite of religious differences mostly by telling her that she did Not know God and that He Himself was the promised Messiah. He did Not compliment her religion did He?
Did you know that God actually killed idolators?
He proved that He was the Messiah Who was prophesied by bringing up her shameful past and present.
Who could know that she was married 5 times, point that out to her and her sin of adultery at the present moment but God Himself?
You may think that rude of God and disrespectful, but only God in the flesh could have known those details of her life.
"
Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.She was ALREADY CONDEMNED. She was ONLY SAVED BY BELIEVING EXCLUSIVELY ON JESUS THE MESSIAH/CHRIST.
That is what you must do as well plumbum.
You say that I am self righteous, but you are absolutely wrong. There is NONE righteous, No Not one.
Righteousness is given in exchange for our wicked sins by Jesus' torturous death. He was buried and three days later He took His life back.
The gift of eternal life is offered but YOU must decide if you want it or not.
