Answer 1

Sure looks that way don't it?

Answer 2

No. You may have heard the phrase "hate the sin, love the sinner," though Christians are human like anyone else and so don't live up to their ideals as well as they'd wish to.

The first link you quoted is about White Supremacists, who are only loosely associated (mainly by people outside the "community") with Christianity. Basically that's equivalent to protesting outside a "new age" bookstore because Hitler was into the occult.

The second link is a fringe group that claims to be pestering people because it loves them and wants to "save" them, which is certainly annoying, but I'm not sure it rises to the level of "hate."

The third link is Fred Phelps, about the most antagonistic jerk in the world. Nothing to do with Christianity other than a vague attempt to justify his paranoid delusions. That dude has been trying to start fistfights by screaming obscenities at military funerals for years, hoping to cash in on some lawsuit money.

Answer 3

In war there is no middle ground that does not have blood running
These examples you have posted are posted to set a premise of negative view of what supposedly is supposed to be the Christian view (wholesale)---but that is simply YOUR take on these particular isolated and unrelated incidences

Yes--there is a place for hate within the Christian heart---but that hate is not what you make it out to be---it is a hatred for the enemy and what he is about---a hatred for the sins of the world--but NOT the sinners (as it where) themselves---this is bore out tiime and again in the scriptures where the Christian is admonished to "put on the whole amour of God" as it were to do the WAR that IS

Next--let me clear something up here---The acts of the Aryan Nation are not Christian acts---to claim that they are simply because certain people of this lunatic asylum say they a based in something biblical---is like saying all scientists are chemists because they have taken chemistry---simply dirt poor premise

Next---the Christian can and should have hatred for the blatant display of anti-judio christian practices that threaten to undermine the social fabric of a sane and decent society---without hating the sinner themselves ---one can hate the sin itself--and bud---open decadent public sex acts are illegal and immoral and to say differently displays one's own anti-social prejudices for the world to see and recognize

So to summate--yes there is room for hatred in the Christian heart---but not even in remote connection with how YOU would choose to categorize PARTICULAR acts in association with that--and God himself is a vengfull entity---quite capable of swift and certain justice

Answer 4

i personally do not have any hatred toward christians. not at all. i work with alot of christians and i listen to them what ever they say. can not hurt any one 4 their religion issues.

in Quran the people who belive in Bible n Jesus;s teachings, are called as "People of Book". and we muslims (Quran Belivers) are asked to respect them. as christians are the followers of Jesus who was a very beloved messenger of Allah. that is why muslim men are allowed to marry christian women. Bible is Allah's book that he sent on earth and same Quran is. Quran is the latest addition and continuation to Allah's books and Islam is the youngest of all religions. Bible definitely had all the sayinys that God wanted to convay to his creature but if you have gone thru history Bible was changed in different eras by different ruling authorities according to their own benefits and interests. therefore today Bible doesnt exit in its original shape. since Bible was changed by humans Allah felt the necessity of sending other messenger with His final book. the last messenger was Mohammad PBUH who came around 300 years after Jesus and the book was Quran. Quran is still present in its orignal form coz Allah says in Quran that he takes the responsibility of protecting it. no one in this world can changes a single word of it. coz we mulims usually learn it by heart. even if all the Quran's in whole world are destroyed, u still will have it in muslims mind and heart and they can write it again.

Answer 5

yah, bcos christianity says the christian should be follow the bible but there is a lot of mystery in that bible. actually its not brought by god or jesus (the son of god). its written (brought out) by bunch of person .its may be Popes Or historical writter or important person like king and others. they are also human being. one human being controlled others in the name of god is very stupidity thinking.

Answer 6

of course not there are fanatics in all religion,some people use their religion as camouflage,to hide behind to spew hate,Satan,evil,negative force,etc can grow roots in anybody ,sometimes the most evil will hide in religion,become trusted members of a religion,to gain power,that's why its tough not to be live in man but god and the written word of god,man can become corrupted,do not put your faith in things or man but in god
