he never imposed the belief on God's existance either yet he suggested in following God's teachings. Can you follow God's teachings even if he doesn't exist?

why is it that jesus never bashed greeks, romans, or and non-believers?

He never bashed anyone. However he did question hypocritical teachings. People that are supposed to be spreading the word should be held in higher standard so when they use their power selfishly Jesus found it dissapointing. Kinda like some of todays religious leaders, they should be held more accountable if they use their power innappropiately. Unlike what most people do when they categorize and generalize all religious leaders they fail to realize that there are certainly good ones out there. People always look for the negative aspect of any belief if they disagree with it...they never take an objective view and see the good that some do. Hypocritical if you ask me.

You misunderstand the Scriptures. Jesus called the Pharisees to an accounting because of their hypocrisy. He never bashed anyone. Since Jesus is God he is not required to impose anything on anyone, and certainly Jesus taught belief in God.

Being a Christian does not make you a non secular consultant however the bible does say to help our brothers via their sin. If somebody is status by utilising you and inspiring you they're doing the main appropriate difficulty. we would desire to continuously never condemn one yet another. Jesus spent time with all categories of persons non secular and sinners. the completed theory of Christianity is to hold human beings to Christ so of direction he would would desire to pass to sinners. in case you have been around Christians who understood their postions in the church it would be much less confusing! There are those human beings out right here who're non secular and don't condemn :)

Jesus did that because those in His day who thought they knew what God wanted, were not following God as He instucted.
Christians DO follow God's Word, and have God's Holy Spirit in them to guide them daily in their walk with God.
God is real. He does exist.

because he loved everyone, but he didn't really bash religious fanatics, just the people who practicied theirreligion out infront of everyone to show off. Or those who were hypocrites if you were fanatical about your religion behind closed doors he had no problem with that.

AMEN to that! Jesus set an example for us and we corrupt it on a daily basis. Mohammad set an example for us. We are all "ONE" with the Father. Jesus knew the true meaning of life here in this hell. Christians have killed more people in his name than anyone...and I don't think He's pleased with that. Godloveya.

Goooood question.
Not quite "on the money" - remember him beating up the money changers at the temple? But, in general, it was the Pharasees he was after.
