Re: why do Christians hate so often?
serioulsly I often wonder. I wonder what is so good about hating people so
often as I see Christians post hate?
Hello,
Just professing something does not automatically make them one, does
it?
By definition, a "Christian" is:
"a person who believes in Christ and follows His teachings;" (The 1999
World Book Encyclopedia Dictionary)
Notice "follows His teachings". And here is one main teaching of
Jesus. Mt 19:19,
"...Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." (KJV)
Thus genuine Christians do not HATE others. Rather they show them
"love" such as by trying to educate them to God's words. (Mt 28:19,20)
So don't be so quick to use the word "Christian" towards anyone who
professes it. People profess it all over the place. (look at the wars
of Christendom) They have to prove that they are by actually following
Jesus' teachings.
Sincerely, James

The whole hx of JC people, Jews, and Moslems is based on hate.
JC's own words denote hate 90% of the time.

Matthew 5
17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I
have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 I tell you the
truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not
the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law
until everything is accomplished. 19 Anyone who breaks one of the least
of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called
least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these
commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Therefore it seems most Christians do not follow Jesus' teachings, but
rather those of Paul.
Rephrase Definition:
"a person who believes in Christ and follows His teachings as defined by
Paul and John"

Right. 2 Thess. 3:6 "Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that
walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of
us."
He teaches them to shun others, but The Messiah did not shun others,
eating with publicans and sinners.

Nothing, a Christian is a follower of Paul and John's interpretation
of what Jesus taught.
