Does Jesus really love me just as I am?

Answer 1

He loves you, but he hates your sin. Why do you pose yourself like that? Are you an ainimal? Are you something that has no self-discipline, self-respect? Would you show this picture to your mother or your father and feel proud? Would you want your son to have this picture seen by his friends, his teachers?

Do you have any idea what amount of shame you bring on yourself by acting and depicting yourself as an animal that has no conscience, no soul, and no hope?

Answer 2

No Jesus was a Jewish carpenter, if you can believe even that much of the bible. He had some radical ideas, he talked about kingdoms on earth, etc., and got killed by the Roman government for them. He is dead. He has been dead about 2000 years.
Most of the churches that claim him as their god are full of greedy, hypocrtical people, who want to have the power that he had over people in order to separate them from their money. Apparently, according to the bible again, Jesus had real charisma, and was a beloved person, who is a good role model even today. It is very hard to do. He encouraged people to give up everything they own and do good works for whores and tax-collectors.He would be a hit with the homeless crowd these days.He did not care about money. He did not start a church or have preachers or born-again tent evangelicals. Those would all be unrecognizable as holy to a poor Jewish boy from the middle east. He certainly wouldn't recognize the middle east or what we like to think of as "peace on Earth."
Dead people have a hard time loving anyone, don't you think? Maybe if they loved you when they were alive, they haven't changed their minds.
I mean, even if they did, how would you know?
But if you want to imagine that Jesus or your grammy or Weird Uncle Caleb loves you, even tho they are dead, go ahead. If it makes you a better, kind, happier, more responsible person who wants to make the world a better place, go for it. You can believe in the Easter Bunny and Santa and the Tooth Fairy, if it will make you behave.
However, if this imaginary friend tells you to "Get a gun and ________" or "Go ahead, drive on the sidewalk, I am here with you," then write us back for new advice.

Answer 3

This question is more difficult than it seems on the surface. On one hand, God loves people - so much so that He sent Jesus to die for our sins (John 3:16). On the other hand, he is angry with our rebellion, as we constantly sin against Him. The Bible says that we are storing up wrath fort the day of judgment (Romans 2:5), and that we are enemies of God by our wicked works (Colossians 1:21).

So, just like any loving Father, God is angry at our rebellion. The Good News is that because of Jesus' death on the cross and resurrection, we can be made right with God. Jesus will take you as you are if you approach Him in repentance (turning from sin) and faith.

Answer 4

Jesus and his Father Jehovah God do express love for all mankind. Yet, do not be fooled by people who tell you that no matter what you do God still loves you. People who refuse to obey God's laws will be destroyed. This is a biblical teaching, nowhere in the bible does it say that it is ok to just do whatever we please and God still loves us. If a person is truly repentant over their sins, then yes they can be forgiven. This requires more than just asking for forgiveness, it requires a change in lifestyle. You must stop practicing what God hates, that is what true repentance is all about. If a person is truly sorry for something that they have done, they will not continue to do it, they will stop, even if it is difficult. The Bible outlines for us what is required by God in order to receive of His love eternally. Please visit www.watchtower.org to learn more about what those requirements are. Jehovah's Witnesses would be happy to study the Bible with you and you are welcome to use your own copy of the Bible to make sure what you are learning truly is from the Bible. Have an awesome day!

Answer 5

I was taught that Jesus loves us just the way we are. However, we need to try our best to be kind to one another and help one another whenever possible. He said, "Do unto others as you would like them to do unto you." Jesus loves all of us. That is why he suffered, died and was buried and then rose again up to heaven. He will prepare a place for us when the time comes.

Answer 6

Jesus loves all of us. We are all The Father's children. It is up to us to love Our Father in Heaven so that one day we will be able to see Him and live in one of His mansions. Jesus is the Son of Our Father and once he was received into Heaven he became part of the Holy Trinity - the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. Thus, Jesus loves us just as Our Father in Heaven loves us.

Answer 7

He loves you in spite of what you do.
But good news fellow sinner, If turn from sin. Not just try to stop sinning, but rather turn your life in a direction away from sin, you will be forgiven for our past sins.
Pray to Jesus for help, and hold yourself accountable for who you hang out with and what you are doing with Your life.


Good luck, and may Jesus guide you.

Answer 8

Most people like to think so but the real answer is probably no. Jesus asked everyone to put away the worldly and become spiritual creatures. He asks you to try to become perfect even as he is perfect. He asks you to become someone else.

Answer 9

He loves you the way you are and He loves you too much to leave you the way you are. He wants to make you in His own image, that's how much He cares about you. God bless you in Jesus´s name!!!

Answer 10

Don't look at it as Jesus. He was just a man. GOD loves you for who you are. Whether you are gay, black, male or female, crossdresser or muderer (though that is morally wrong). We all go to heaven in the end honey, so be who you are.
