LUKE 14:26
"If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple."

According to this you can't even like your family. Also he said to turn the other cheek bu then he flipped out on the money changers in the temple.
John 2:15-16
15So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16To those who sold doves he said, "Get these out of here! How dare you turn my Father's house into a market"

Example:
Why is it that Muslims, Buddhist, & other alternative religions are respected in our public schools, on our jobs, & in our nation period, but our children are told they can't pray or read their Bibles in school. Christians don't think of Christanity as a religion, it is a relationship with the Living God through the blood of Jesus Christ. We don't have religion, we have relationship. True Christians followiw the teachings of Jesus Christ, & He teaches us to love everyone. Therefore, true Christians do not hate people, but hate what Jesus calls sin. Some other religions teach their followers to hate what is not customary to their teaching, yet Jesus teaches His followers to love and to try and help those who are walking in spiritual darkness. Jesus wants us to live in Him, for in Him is the fullness of joy and peace. Those who don't know enough about Christanity should not make a snap judgement about it, until they at least have studied it out. What do you think???

Before you answer...remember.....the what Jesus said and what he might say to this.....

I noticed racism when I was in 6th grade & noticed from other classmates & When i was in the 8th grade (Washington, DC trip) some of the parents had racial views (mumbling/rolling eyes/pissed off face when 2 different ethnics were hugging) . In high school friends I grew up with developed racial feelings towards other ethnics (blk, white, latino) / others (religion/homosexuals) & especially inter-racial dating. I lived in Ohio, IL, NC, and now back in IL and its everywhere! Not just the south. Is it taught by the parents or learned from friends and other classmates?

Where are all the grownups? I personally do not think sexuality has a place in spirituality or religion. Not publicly anyway. Do we not have more serious and respectful questions?

Do you ever think that you live your life as a result of someone elses thinking?

I guess I am aiming at those of you that live by the book. But do you really feel that you have input on your way of living. Are your thoughts taken into consideration. Or do you carry on living the way someone else told you to? Is there not something you disagree with so strongly in your belief that you want to change it?

some times i pray and pray yet it seems as though God won't answer or help or whatever the case may be. i'll even sometimes be ready to walk away from him and then He'll do something. it's as though He hangs a carrot out in front of me, and when i slow down i get a bite just enough so i'll start up again.

i hope this explanes where i coming from.
