I am a Christian, but I can't help but want to ring the necks of these vile little punks who post these rotten "questions". I know were supposed to love and pray for our enemies, but today, I hope they experience the wrath of God! My brothers and sisters-in-Christ, please pray for me because right now, I am feeling a lot of hate.

Be angry and sin not. There is nothing wrong with getting upset with those who are disrespectful of our Lord. Just remember as He hung there dieing he said: "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." Are we to do any less?

I know how you feel, and for the most part I'm with you bro! We aren't suppose to hate them, and I don't. We are suppose to love them, and pray for their salvation instead of their destruction. But there's nothing wrong with "wringing their little punk necks" as long as we do it verbally, not physically. And since we are so much smarter than they are, that is a pretty easy task. They DO make such thin little targets, don't they?
Maybe you can transfer that feeling of hate into a feeling of "he-who-laughs-last-laughs loudest" amusement. We may never be able to convince them, because they are too stupid to get it. But they'll find out in the end.

I am a Christian, but in this instance, it doesn't even need to be a matter of prayer because you already know what God wants you to do, you even put it down in the question. Ignore the little monkeys, they are just being immature. If you want, pray for them to grow up or learn about God (whichever you see fit), but if they don't then let God handle it in His own due time.

Dear Soncho,
At times we all feel upset, but you should never hate. I'll tell you what I do, I appoint the Hand of the Lord upon those people and their lives and their home.
I think it's important to remember that we should LOVE the person, and APPOINT the Lord's Hand upon them and their lives and their home, so that whatever evil is there is brought to judgement before the Lord.
Don't hate. Have a Hallelujah time praying for their soul!
Don't get mad at the "person", get mad at Satan who is using them.
Blessings, Peace, and Love be upon You in the Name of Jesus!

Who said 'keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer' because it was a terrific statement!
I don't know what 'rotten' questions you are referring to but to hate those asking them is not a solution! Do not hate people for what they say/do/don't say/don't do! Instead treat them with contempt, a far more worthwhile act, and spare your strong feelings for something/someone else, something constructive and positive! When you see a question that inspires you much unease/anger ... Don't answer it! Answer another one. That's what i do!
I am not a born again christian, i'm a catholic but i will most certainly pray for you tonight.
Take care

King David, a man after Gods own heart, prayed for the destruction of his enemies.
So, the thoughts that we have concerning those that not only deny God but belittle him before us are really quite natural.
As long as we leave the destruction in Gods hands, we are ok, just remember to leave it there and not to act out on it.
And yes, if someday they see the error of their ways, God has done what we asked, he has destroyed their thoughts of hate and replaced them with his will and way.

Soncho. hahahahahah We all been there..Done that.
Hey......That is natural, when someone talks about God/Jesus. That is why Jesus told you to what? Love your enemy.
People misunderstand that verse. The Bible uses the word "love" several times. The word "love" in the Greek has 8 different meanings. When Jesus says, "love" your neighbor, "love" your enemies, it means (Love Less=not hate)
You not "hate" your neighbor as you not "hate" yourself.
Too many people "think" that means, Christ's "love" for you. You are to die for your neighbor. That is the dumbest thing I have ever read in here. He is talking to the believers. He telling believers to love one another. What if your neighbor is a sciptural scoffer? Psalms 1.1-3 tells you what to do with a scoffer. People simply don't know Greek. The New Testament was wrote in Greek for a reason. it is the most exact, and precise language on the planet.
Jesus did not go around preaching handing out snow cones and cottoncandy to people, gaining they're love. he preached Truth, love followed. People tell you, Jesus Preached love. HE DID NOT.
HE TOLD YOU TO LOVE. 8 different ways. He preached TRUTH.
Don't let these thugs get you down. STAND up and defend Jesus Christ's Name. Preach TRUTH. Preach the Gospel. Goespel=Truth.
Hey.......Soncho. Get rid of the hate. It is ok to be angry. Sure it is. God Himself said it was ok, just don't let the sun go down on anger. Frustration is normal and God know's this. That is why He provided a way to handle it.
The more you are harassed and made fun of, thats because your doing something RIGHT.
Nobody gets bashed for preaching love. Everyone likes hearing love. You get bashed for preaching TRUTH. Jesus Christ was crucified for TRUTH, not love. It was out of "love" for the Father, he died on the cross as a act of obedience too the Father.
It is God, that so "loved" the world. It is Jesus that "loved" the Father out of a direct instruction given to him. the Deity of Christ does love (agape) you so much He died for you.
Just relax, have fun. rejoice in God through the Son.
wooooooooo hooooooooooooo.

Pray that they will actually look at what others have written, and not simply clog up the forum with their garbage. I'd love to answer one sincere question from an atheist, but all they can do is ask about Superman and the Flying Spaghetti Monster. * sigh *

Those in Hell are feeding off your anger, and anger merely drags you down to the level of those you hate. Feel sorry for your enemies. As the Bible says, "They know not what they do", and "My people perish for lack of knowledge". Pray, and leave your anger and your enemies in the hands of the Lord. We ought to be witnessing to our enemies about the Word of God so as to assist them towards a higher spiritual level. If you hate them, you doom yourself to their lower spiritual growth level--the very level that you are hating in them!

There are enemies and there are ENEMIES. Suffer the witch not to live. Love ur enemies,ur main concern should be the salvation of their souls. Be good to those that hurt u. But our weapons of warfare ain't carnal but strong to the pulling down of strongholds for we wrestle not against flesh but against principalities and powers, spiritual wickedness in high places.
My point is be nice to people but fight against the evil one and his subordinates.
