Do you really believe and practice the scripture, "love thy fellow man"?

Question

I do. I really believe in it and practice it literally. But it seems I get a lot of criticism and rejection for just doing what Jesus would have done.

Answer 1

Your gay lifestyle is an abomination in God's eyes so stop lying and laying as well.

Leviticus 18:22 - Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

Leviticus 18:26 - Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:

Leviticus 18:27 - (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)

Leviticus 18:29 - For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.

Leviticus 18

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God. 3 After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances. 4 Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God. 5 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD. 6 None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD. 7 The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 8 The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness. 9 The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover. 10 The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness. 11 The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 12 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman. 13 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she is thy mother's near kinswoman. 14 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt. 15 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 16 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness. 17 Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness. 18 Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time. 19 Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness. 20 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her. 21 And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD. 22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. 23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion. 24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: 25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants. 26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you: 27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;) 28 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you. 29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people. 30 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.

Answer 2

I think I do in my own special way but most likely not to the extent that you do.
Most people are focused on their own agendas so when someone displays such behavior many of us are surprised and become suspicious. There is a lack of trust amongst fellow men because of the world we live in today. It is easier to believe and trust that actions from Jesus would be based on love but not as easy to believe when those actions come from a stranger.
Sometimes however, the gesture is so quick and small that we don't have time to 'analyze' it, but rather just take it for what it is and hopefully appreciate the gesture and make the recipient want to replicate it.

Answer 3

Oh yes my dear, I do believe! I believe, I believe and love my fellow men literally. Some boys are handsome beyond imagination. Of course I believe, how can I not love such beauty eh?

Do you have any good looking sons? On second thoughts I would think not if that is really you in your avatar.

Answer 4

The commandment from Jesus in John 10:12 is that we love one another 'as I have loved you'. We therefore need to love others the way that God loves us. Once we obey the commandment we will get our appreciation from God. Since we do not obey God to obtain man's favour we should just disregard the reaction of others and endure the situation for Christ's sake..

Answer 5

I think it's not only christian who should do that but everybody, even atheist. All religions say love others as you love your child or yourself and I, an agnostic, strive hard to do that myself for others.

The west are attacking islam a lot, especially the veil subject. If they follow their scripture then it's wrong thing to do.

Answer 6

Love thy follow man, is to respect from the heart, All whom walk among the world, without condition.

Answer 7

i do believe in it and i do strive to follow it. but being human
mkes me have some struggles in following this. criticism and rejection is normal! Jesus Christ had his share remember? He was crucified for this! if you believe in His teachings, it is never easy but it is worth while. so its alright to be alarmed or worried when you are criticized, but at the end of the day, remember, it is God you are trying to please and not the non believers. have faith and lift everything to God.

Answer 8

try my best to do what I feel in my heart is the best thing to do. respect each persons right to believe the way they want to as long as I can believe the way I want to in return.

Answer 9

Yes I do,but it's only human nature to make mistakes on occasion.No one is perfect.
