Why do so many people hate Jesus Christ?

Question

What did Christ ever do to you? If God became a man then we would expect him to speak the greatest words ever spoken. Jesus said, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away" (Luke 21:33). A Roman official who was sent to capture Christ came back and reported, "Never did a man speak the way this man speaks" (John 7:46). He spoke words of love and hope to the people of His day. What is wrong with that? If Christ being God decided to die for my sin and yours' where is the crime? Don't blame Christ for what Christians do. I think God choose the perfect time in history to reveal Himself to mankind. Four major empires had risen to power. Rome's influence along with the Greeks had covered the majority of the world. 400 years had passed without a word from God. Nazareth was a small insignificant village next to a main Roman road. Christ came in humbleness and died in humility becoming obedient to mankind. Why did he do this? LOVE

He loves you He lives

Answer 1

Because He is the Light of the world and when He Shines, what is in the darkness gets exposed. And people loved darkness better than light because their deeds were evil.

Answer 2

Please, as a Muslim, I do not hate Jesus at all. It is the Christians who believe everyone hates Christ. It is an irony and a great misunderstanding. Christians first ascribe to Jesus things he never claimed in the first place. They say he is god, when he does not say it even once. In fact the good Jewish man was offended with a man who called him good and corrected him by the lofty words "why do you call me good? ONLY THE LORD MOST HIGH IS GOOD!!". Time and again Jesus prays. How can God pray and to whom? Time and again Jesus says "My Father and YOUR FATHER!!", time and again Jesus asks for help from the LORD ALMIGHTY.

Jesus even says "Let not my will be done, BUT YOUR WILL BE DONE O LORD" . What more does a Christian need to see that Jesus is not God. Even his last words are "Lord, Lord, why have you forsaken me?" . YOU tell me are these the words of God or of a desperate man who has lost all hope of salvation.

In my personal belief at this point he fainted. He was taken down as dead and put in the cave, where he recovered and his words were answered by the Mighty One. This alone explains why he still had wounds in his hands and why he was famished, as he was laying the tomb for three days without food or water. This alone explains how it spooked the unbelieving fools the disciples who had abandoned their benefactor to die alone on the cross. Even firemen do not abandon ordinary humans and try to save them. Even soldiers die for ordinary citizens of their nation.

How could these folks abandon Christ if they believed he was god? The companions of the Prophet of Islam were a lot more loyal and strong in their loyalty when they fought their own relatives and tribesmen and co-nationalists and in some cases their own brothers and fathers who were on the opposite side. How can the Lord Most High make such disloyal men the criteria for salvation of mankind? HOW?

We do not hate Christ. No decent person could. We hate what Christ was turned into by these men who were afraid of Rome more than God. Who turned the Kosher laws and the laws of circumcision to fit the need of the Romans. Read ACTS of the APOSTLE. All the plans and programs and mischief of Paul is enshrined and kept alive for anyone who has discernment to see.

Read how Peter threw away the Kosher laws based on a dream of his. Had Jesus made it clear to him that he could eat all animals, why was Peter acting as if he had never heard such a thing. Check out Acts 10:10 the dream of Peter.

Please. We do not hate Christ. We love him. As a Muslim if I would leave christ, I would leave Islam itself. If a Muslim does not bless Jesus when he takes his name in a formal setting, he commits a sin.

Why do you think people hate Christ? They dont. Most dont care. Muslims love Christ. So THERE!!

Answer 3

I have heard a lot more of people hating on Christians than hating Christ himself. So be sure you're not confusing the two.

And as a side note, why is it so difficult for hardcore Christians to make a point without quoting the Bible? There's something disturbingly mechanical about it, like they're just regurgitating what they read, and not really forming their own opinions, thoughts, and ideas on it.

And by the way, I think Christ was an amazing man, spreading the word of love and understanding. A message that sadly, most Christians themselves fail to embrace.

Answer 4

Sweetie! No one hates Jesus, boo. Most of us have a severe dislike for people who do hateful things and spew pitiful catchphrases in His name. Personally, I believe that God is overall and that Jesus was chosen to teach the folks of His(God's)love. Do I believe that God and Jesus are the same? No I don't(but that's a different ball of wax..). He wasn't being obediant to mankind, dear. He was doing the will of God(according to the "good book"). Jesus was considered a rebel and a troublemaker by some of the religious crooks of that time and they wanted him dead anyway. Unlike your big time "mega preachers" today, Jesus was a humble and likable fellow who went to the streets to reach folks(the hookers, vagabonds, etc.). Today, He would be considered a liberal and on the FBI's Most Wanted List. Let me ask you this, and I'm off to work...Do you believe in Christianity or the teachings of Christ? They're not one in the same. Be well, my dear.

Answer 5

You might want to first ask whether "so many people hate Jesus Christ" before you begin to examining why. The premise upon which you are bsing your question may be flawed. First of all, "so many" is a very vague term. You would want to define that, much as you would have to clarify what you meant by "hate." You would also have to determine whether the emotional response you consider "hate" is what the "so many people" are actually having. Once you have resolved these issues you might move on to the "why" of it.

You might ask yourself if by asking this question you are actually requesting information.

Answer 6

Joh 7:7 The world cannot hate you; but it hates Me because I witness about it, that its works are evil.

Joh 15:18 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it has hated you.
Joh 15:19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.
Joh 15:20 Remember the Word which I said to you, A slave is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted Me, they also will persecute you. If they kept My Word, they also will keep yours.
Joh 15:21 But all these things they will do to you on account of My name, because they do not know the One who sent Me.
Joh 15:22 If I had not come and had not spoken to them, they had no sin. But now they do not have excuse as to their sin.
Joh 15:23 The one hating Me also hates My Father.
Joh 15:24 If I did not do the works among them which no other did, they had no sin. But now they both have seen and also have hated Me and My Father.
Joh 15:25 But that may be fulfilled the Word that has been written in their Law, "They hated Me undeservedly." Psa. 69:4

The world hates Jesus. He speaks truth that is not "pc". He tells them of their sin and need for a savior. The world is Satans domain, therefore, those who follow the world, who live for the world, will hate Christ because He stands against the world system.

Answer 7

you're quite no longer making sense. i do not position self assurance in Jesus Christ or 'Allah' so i visit't 'hate' them. although I do have many themes with both Christian and Islamic teachings. You accuse: "through the way. i understand someplace deep down you've faith in Him, you'll merely seem for any excuse to stay a selfish life." ok, so there is tremendous party of why I dislike Christianity, it breeds such 'with us or adversarial to us' and 'non-believers = corrupt and selfish" bilge as you merely ably validated. Buddhists and Wiccans don't have a tendency to attempt this in any respect. Christianity and Islam places the different theory down even as last horribly bigoted and unsafe, sexist, misanthropic and dangerously superstitious, too typically blending faith with politics.

Answer 8

I don't hate Jesus. I really like some of the things told about him in the Bible. I think it is hard to separate what was really said and done by him from the things that were added by others after to serve their own agendas though. What I really dislike is the way some Christians have appropriated him and try to shove their brand of Christianity and religion on everyone else.

Answer 9

I have never encountered ANYONE who 'hates' Jesus. I have encountered many people who think that ideas of him being some kind of diety are ridiculous. Personally, I am convinced that he is imaginary...he did not exist... the New Testament is fiction... Christianity is a fraud.

It absolutely amazes me that so many people today seem to have been infected with some sort of insidious mental virus that leads them to the insane certainty that the myths, superstitions, fairy tales and fantastical delusions of a bunch of ignorant Bronze Age fishermen and wandering goat herders represent some kind of cosmic 'TRUTH' about fundamental aspects of existence and reality. They exist in a delusional reality which contains a magical universe in which all that exists are a 6,000 year-old earth and heaven, a solid 'firmament' structure (the sky) separating the earth from heaven (terrarium earth), talking snakes (with legs) and donkeys, a shepherd staff that turns into an asp, demons chased out of people and into pigs, friendly spirits, evil spirits, walking on water, multiplying loaves and fishes, food falling from the sky, conception by a ghost, people raised from the dead, the sun stopping in its tracks, parting seas, people being bodily sucked up into heaven (which, by the way, lies on the 'other side' of the sky), world-wide flood that drowned the earth to a depth of 40 feet above the tallest mountain, creating people from a dust bunny and a rib, a magical tree of knowledge, god speaking from a burning bush... and ritual cannibalism, by eating god in the form of a cracker.

In a sane world, anybody running around spouting ANY of that crap, would be locked up in the State Farm for the Funny. Apparently, though, mass insanity seems to convey some sort of free pass for the loony.

And you dare to suggest that people who DON'T believe all of that ludicrous crap need help?

Get a grip.

Answer 10

We do not hate the mythical man jesus, we have a problem with the people that claim to believe the myth spreading hate.

Answer 11

They don't hate him, they crave him. They know that they can be saved at anytime, even on their death bed, so they say these things to get attention. Most of the Antichrists here come from broken homes, or have parents who are alcoholics, drug addicts pedophiles, or absent. They are crying out the only way they know how...in hate. They are brought up in a family of hate, and physiologically feel that this is the only way to get it.
