Why is Jesus hated so much?

Question

I believe in Jesus and all that God's word says. I'm curious for those that do not like Him or those that do hate Him to state their reasons for having these emotions and what they are based upon.

Answer 1

Joh 15:18 If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.
Joh 15:19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
Joh 15:20 Remember the word that I said to you, The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they have kept My saying, they will also keep yours.
Joh 15:21 But all these things they will do to you for My name's sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me.
Joh 15:22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
Joh 15:23 He who hates Me hates My Father also.
Joh 15:24 If I had not done among them the works which no other did, they would not have had sin. But now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father.
Joh 15:25 But that the Word might be fulfilled that is written in their Law, "They hated Me without a cause."
Joh 15:26 And when the Comforter has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He shall testify of Me.
Joh 15:27 And you also shall bear witness, because you have been with Me from the beginning.

Answer 2

Because deep down in their hearts they know that there is something about the name of Jesus that is so powerful and that it is the Truth. Jesus has sparked so much controversy in the world because he was perfect, he taught the Truth, and loved everyone, he loved us so much He chose to die on the cross for our sins. He didnt have to do to, He wanted to. The deceiver(devil) tries to trick people into thinking Jesus is not real. People also find it to good to be true that Jesus died for all our sins and he already paid the price for us, and we dont have to do anything but receive salvation and make Him our Lord and Savior. That's good news. Notice how people really aren't furious at other religions like Buddhism, Hinduism, etc. because those religions aren't the True faith, and the devil isn't threatened by those religions b/c the god they worship are dead or not real.

Answer 3

Because He has been misrepresented by ppl who chose to worship him instead of God. They in fact do not hate Jesus, they hate the God of trinitarians, which is a fake Jesus. The real Image of Jesus is the Islam, Jesus Christ peace and blessings upon Him

Answer 4

I don't think I've ever heard anyone say they hate Jesus. Though I have heard plenty of people say they hate what certain Christians do.
Would you hate a Pagan god if the follower mistreated you? Or would you simply view the whole religion as a hateful religion?

Answer 5

I don't believe Jesus of Nazareth, as described in the bible, ever existed, so I don't hate him. From my perspective, he's the same as the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus or Bigfoot (fictional characters).

But, I do have a question for you.

Why is "hate" one of the most commonly used words by all Christians? It's like Christians all went to the same school and learned the same "hip word," and they use it all the time.

Who taught you that "hate" was the latest "hip word?"

Just curious.

Answer 6

Hated? I am not sure that is a proper term. Jesus died before I was born so I never got a chance to meet him but the stories about his life are far removed from reality but very entertaining

Answer 7

Jesus is not hated. He was a teacher or Rabbi who taught the message of love, peace and respect. It is the false religions that have appeared using His name that people hate. The Great Maitreya will soon deal with this false religion in order to accomplish His great mission of ushering in the new age.

Answer 8

I agree with Vampire_kitty.

Nobody hates Jesus. I have nothing agaist him personally.

Problem are the people who try to push their belief on others. Jesus loves and bible is true because bible says so is not really impressive if you are really not a Christian. And being preached at certainly irritating.

Answer 9

Joh 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.


(Jud 1:16) These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
(Jud 1:17) But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

(Jud 1:18) How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
(Jud 1:19) These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
(Jud 1:20) But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
(Jud 1:21) Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
(Jud 1:22) And of some have compassion, making a difference:
(Jud 1:23) And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
(Jud 1:24) Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
(Jud 1:25) To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Answer 10

John 7:7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

Romans 8:4-8

4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

God Bless and Keep you...k
