Christians say god loves you for who you are, why can't they love ppl for who they are and be more like god?

Question

Why want to change ppl to their beliefs?

Unicorn you are judging ppl when you assume a non-christian is not morally, spiritually, physically or intellectually grown enough as a christian. That is your ego not gods message. Ever heard of freewill!

Answer 1

Coz their ego is bigger than the message they try to spread!

Answer 2

I don't believe you can bunch all Christians together. You couldn't possibly know them all. Unfortionately some of us are bad pictures of what a Christian should be. People are in different stages of growth, etc., and not everyone who says they are a Christian really are. I'm sorry you have found some who are not good examples of Jesus. He truly does love you. John 3:17 says He didn't come into the world to condemn it, but to save it. Did you have an opportunity to see the movie, "The Passion" If not, try and see it. Jesus died for us all you know, and being a Christian is not about being good, but about being His. Many are trying to be more like Him. I pray that you will come to know Him and that you will become like Him.
Bless You!

Answer 3

Romans 9:13 says that God hated Esau, and Psalm 5:5 says that God hates all WORKERS of iniquity. Other examples are Proverbs 6:16-19, Psalm 11:5, and Malachi 1:3. Given these verses, how can you say God loves everyone? Can you really say "God loves everyone" when God says "I hated Esau?"

Answer 4

That is the goal. It is just as hard for us to love everybody as a non-Christian. But most of us are trying. What we are supposed to do is love absolutely everybody, regardless of beliefs or anything else. As much as it is not fair for Christians to look down on others it is not fair for all Christians to be tarred with the same brush either.

Answer 5

I totally agree with you
I love and except everyone no matter what religion, or nationality, or colour, or sexual preference, they have or are.
Each to their own
And answer to:
Why they want to change people to their beliefs because they have forgotten about "Free Will" something God gave everyone they have no idea what "Unconditional Love, Acceptance, Compassion, Forgiveness, and what Free Will is.
We are all here to live and to create own own Life Experiences to pay back under the Law of Karma and live with The Laws of Grace it is our journey.
Love & Blessings

Answer 6

How bout if we say God loves you no matter who you are? We can love someone and still want them to do better. If you have kids, I'll assume you love them. Do you teach them? Why? Should we love them just as they are and not teach them past the 1st grade? Of course not. We want those we love to grow, morally, physically, spiritually. intellectually, etc. If we do not want someone to grow it is more likely that we don't really have love for them.

Answer 7

God does love you for what you are...and Christ commanded us to love one our neighbor as ourself...he also said to go out into the world and spread the gospel...if a Christian tells you about Christ and what He has done in his/her life, and you interpret that as being picked on, that is your OWN conscience talking...remember, Christ healed many while here on earth, and told more than one person "your sins are forgiven", and He also said "go and sin no more"...if you are looking for a God who loves you no matter what, He is all that and more...but if you're looking for a God who doesn't care what you do, then head for the church of the flying spaghetti monster...

Answer 8

Because they are only human and it is hard to be perfect.

They also feel the need to share their beliefs because they think you will be better off for believing what they do. Truly, they mean well. They think you will be saved.

They don't have to be perfect in order to want to share their beliefs. They are a work in progress. Like all of us. :)

However, they should love you regardless of what your beliefs are.

Answer 9

God commanded Christians to love everyone despite their shortcomings, but he is also instructed us to take up our cross and follow him. He sent his son to earth to seek and save those who were lost and if we are following in his footsteps we have to continue on his work. We can't see someone doing wrong and not say anything just like we are not suppose to do wrong and not correct it. We need to do it in a loving non offending way,but it is needed.

Answer 10

Supposedly, sure; genuinely, no. The Christian "God" is the God of the "previous testomony," or a minimum of pointed out with Him with the aid of Christians. the actuality that Christianity broke with previous Jewish custom in maximum respects, somewhat its tricky equipment of tabus and its usual blood sacrifices (the two having been obviated with the aid of the sacrifice of Jesus, because of the fact the yarn is going), does not alter the lineage - in spite of the shown fact that it does recommend that the Christians themselves have been particularly ashamed of the character of the God they hijacked from the Hebrews, and adapted their theology to mitigate His wrath and bloodthirst. because of the fact there is no getting around it - the OT God is a bastard, consistently ordering the rape of virgins and the slaughter of harmless infants.

Answer 11

EXCELLENT question. I'm getting so tired of the creeps laying in the background and waiting. The minute you ask or answer a Q, here they come with their "The Bible says......" (add Book Chapter:Verse). Do me a favor, refresh this one every minute or two so it stays current. They will never catch on, but at least they'll get the message that people HATE them. (Here it comes, "The Bible says that........! Spare me, and thanks.
