Ever notice that Jesus & his apostles taught different messages?

Question

During the time that Jesus was alive & giving sermons on mounts & sea shores, he spoke of love and worshiping god.

After his death, when the apostles started writing their books and letters the message changed from one of love to one of Hellfire and brimstone.

The message went from "Worship God to please God," to "If you sin, you're gonna burn."

Answer 1

You couldn't be more wrong but that's what's expected from one who knows little about the Bible and the Apostles. Nothing changed at all and people can read anything into His word if that's what they sit out to do. This wasn't an accident either. God wants you to worship Him through love and have faith as Jesus taught and as was written in the Old Testament. Those who have no faith have no ability to understand the Bible and never will until they learn a simple thing like a belief in something besides themselves.

Answer 2

No, I didn't "ever notice that," because it isn't true. Jesus ALWAYS taught that those who reject Him will pay the price, but you wouldn't have caught that since you have the intellect of a mustard seed; not to mention the objectivity of a whiney atheist using online forums to push his/her anti-Christian agenda. If you want be an atheist, that's fine with me, not for you, but at least come up with some insults that actually bare a resemblance to something other than bull crap. I mean, really, can't you do any better than something like this that is so flatly false it actually makes you look stupid on a network virtually inhabited by morons? At least the smart atheists can TRY to sound intelligent with faulty logic and clever rhetoric; you can't even SOUND like you know what you're talking about. But why am I bothering, you'll just Best Answer the first person to suck up to you and compliantly write "yea christains suck lol." Oh well. May God help you, my misguided atheist friend.

Answer 3

Those are not "different messages" at all. If you tell someone that rejecting God leads to "hellfire," you're actually performing a loving act of charity.

It's the same as if a parent tells a child not to play in traffic, lest they get hurt or killed. It's a warning that's borne of love.

It's the same with speaking of hell. When people warn us about hell, it doesn't mean they want us to go there. On the contrary -- they're trying to help us by warning us of the real possibility of damnation.

Oh, and by the way, warnings about hell were not issued ONLY after Jesus' death. While He was alive on this earth, Jesus spoke of hell many times.

Answer 4

Jesus spoke twice as much about judgment and hell as He did about Heaven. He repeatedly said things like "repent or you will all perish" and "wide is the path that leads to destruction and many will find it but narrow is the path to heaven and few will find it" because man loves sin more than God and His righteousness. He spoke parables that one day God will gather up His people, the "wheat", and will cast the rest which are the chaff into the fire to be destroyed. God hates sin and proclaims judgment against it. Always has and always will. The harmony in the Gospels with the rest of the Bible is undeniable. God bless.

Answer 5

The message cannot "go from" worshipping God to pleasing God.

They are one in the same. To worship God is pleasing to God.

Jesus spoke more about evil and sin and the eternal punishment of Hell more than he did about Heaven. We know more about Hell than we know about heaven.

Get a red letter bible and read only the parts in red (Jesus' words) and you will see this for yourself and be able to tell the next person that tells you something if they are wrong or right about what they say.

Answer 6

Then I'd suggest to you that you really haven't read the bible as much as you may believe you have. St. Paul writes just as soaringly about love as Jesus spoke. The famous ode to love recited at almost all Christian weddings are St. Paul's words from 1 Corinthians 13.

You might consider reading the New Testament. You may find many of your preconceptions to be shattered in the reading of it. Its all about love.

Answer 7

No. between the tihings you'll see is that God helps the nature of the authors to reveal by way of their differnet writings. Moses, whose important issue, replaced into the authorities and protection stress administration of a wandering united states, writes from that prespective, giving us perception into how God handles international locations. at the same time as Paul replaced into writing to church homes about who Jesus replaced into and the thanks to comprehend his life, demise and resurrection. His letters are thesis of theology and doctrine from between the tremendous minds of all historic previous. He many times dealt with the fellow courting between God and one guy. Becasue they write with diverse personalities, diverse prespectives and on diverse topics, there'll be some transformations in how they tutor truths about God. yet they don't seem diverse or contradictory "messages".

Answer 8

you better go back and read again what Jesus said,,, he warns of hell many ,many times in his words,,,,but you are right about one thing,,they did teach different messages,,, Jesus taught that He was the Christ ,,, but his disciples never said one time that they were the Christ , but that Jesus was,,, God is love but be not wrong about one thing God is also God of justice and wrath,,,, prayers

Answer 9

You apparently can't read. Jesus mentioned and warned of hell more than He talked of heaven. Check your eyes.
