If Christians do not accept other Christian sects, then aren't they breaking the second commandment?

Question

to love your brother as you love yourself!

Answer 1

just because Christians don't accept other sects doesn't mean that they don't love them... you can disagree with someone and still love them...

Answer 2

I will tell you this of a certainty. No matter what the sect and if you didn't ask you would be able to tell a Christian a mile away, If you let the love that Jesus described be your guide. When a Christian talks to another there is a common thread there without it being spoken. I have a good example of this, when my father-in-law passed away I went into a grocery store for my mother-in-law. A woman in front of me said you look so sad. I didn't have a forlorn look but she noticed. She told me that Jesus loved me. We proceeded on talking and I told her thank you for her comforting words. The love crosses races and peoples. I am white and she was of a different ethnicity. The hug she gave me was warm and caring. This is the love that only can be achieved through Jesus.

Answer 3

There is a difference between loving a person and accepting the teachings that their particular brand of religion promote. I can love someone who is say a Catholic without loving the false doctrines that they teach like not allowing their priests to have a wife when the Bible commands a church official to prove themselves worthy of that position by demonstrating that they can rule over their own household before being in charge of a church of God.

1 Timothy 3:2 It is necessary, therefore, for a bishop to be irreproachable, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, well-behaved, hospitable, skillful at teaching; 3 not given to wine, not a bully, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not loving money; 4 one ruling his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence; 5 (for if one does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?);

Just because I don't buy into their teachings doesn't mean I don't have love for individual Catholics.

Answer 4

um, you contradict yourself
"If Christians do not accept other Christian sects".
other sects of the religion mean it is not christian.
unless you talk about anglican, baptist, wesleyan, etc, because in that case, we do accept each other.
because you dont accept another religion does not mean you hate the person practicing it. hate the sin, no t the sinner

Answer 5

Some Christian denominations accept the others as merely a different form of worship. There are few religions in christendom that do not. (I could name them, but you all know who you are)

Answer 6

We love them, just don't recognize them as Christian unless they have asked Yeshua to be their L-rd and Savior.
A sect could be a cult......It is all where you put Yeshua (Jesus) that tells you if you are or not.

Answer 7

The Second Commandment tells us to not Take the Name of God in Vain.

What is your question?

Also reference to Christianity..... it was Jesus Christ who told his disciples to "Love one another as I have loved You."

Answer 8

Ask yourself if there is anyone that you do not love. Then ask yourself if you are breaking that commandment too.

Answer 9

Love and acceptance are two different issues.

Answer 10

I don't know what you mean by "accept." If you mean being loving and respectful, then I agree. If it means believing everything that every other denomination believes, then I disagree.
