Especially those of you who judge others, hate based on sexual orientation, race, religion, skin color.
Seriously why do you think your even worthy of being saved? Just because you ask for it???

Jesus died for himself. He believed in something and people killed him for it. But it was his choice, he died defending his own ideals. People who think his death was for all humanity well, it sounds romantic but come on. If that gives people peace of mind, if that gives people the liberty to do what they want and not think of the consequences of their actions because Jesus death will redeem them well ain't that fd up?. But I don't think anyone will save anyone from themselves and the consequences of their actions.

By your question, I get the feeling that you are above the "you" that you are asking this question to. Jesus came from God to save everyone. Murderers, drug dealers, KKK members, gang members, hate crime committers, people who commit and don't commit abortion, etc.

By the judgement you may or may not feel, it's because of the disconnection of your Spirit. If you read Genesis you will find that God created us in His image, so their is something spiritually missing when Adam and Eve committed the first sin by the disconnection that occurred spiritually. Ever since then, humanity has been separated from God because of what we chose to do, like it or not.

Consider this: I do not have to teach my children to lie to me....I have to teach them to tell the truth. Or I don't have to teach my children how to take another sibling/friends' toy, I have to teach them to share. Human nature is not inherently good, and it is because of the separation from God that happened back then.

Try to teach people now not to hate? You are maybe asking a blinded or skewed question....you should be asking how to solve it.

The key ingredient is love, that is what Jesus preached on the most (if you call it preaching....most people have a hard time accepting preaching, but Jesus would just talk on a mountainside, or outside the city and people would flock to what He was saying.) If we truly love Jesus, then we would have a hard time hating people.

because that is what the bible is about. The imperfections of men To remind you. the ten commandments and all of the laws of the old testament were not intended to be followed, but to serve as a guide, and also to show that man was incapable of perfection. I am worthy of being saved for my commitment to trying., although i make mistakes, I still have faith in the bible.

Gah, I can answer this one from 8 different viewpoints by now... Anyway, the born again christian answer is, "No I am not worthy of being saved, but Jesus is all-loving, and will save me anyway", another random archetype which I have no name for will ask, "Saved from what? A fantasy of playing in fire?", and another group shall say, "True Christians don't judge or do those things, you're mistaken." or something of the like... Really, questions like this just inspire repetition of the same rhetoric over and over, no one diserves it, but the omnibenevolant God will do it anyway based upon some arbitrary category ("faith", "acts", "love", etc.)

I do not judge others based on any of the things you mentioned, but I do sin and I know He still loves me. Because I am a human I will never be perfect...sin is sin no matter what kind it is, He died for all of us to free us from our sins, everyone is worth being saved, and yes, all you have to do is ask Him into your heart. Seriously, when you do that it is like being plugged into an electrical socket, the energy, the power flows and His holy awesome spirit rules over my life and makes tremendous things happen...just try it and ask Him anything that is in His will will be.

All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God

No-one is worthy of being saved, yet by God's undying infinite love for us. By doing what his word said Acts 2:38, we are saved although we are not worthy

Repent means turning from your sins completely and God forgives. He is Love, why would He come to earth to die for us all to redeem us and save us if He didn't love us?

He hates the sin, but still loves the sinner. Though He will judge them if they do not turn from their sins.

Because the Bible concludes that we are all under sin and man is accountable to the Lord. The Lord has made a way open to be forgiven and reconciled.No unsaved person is any better than any other unsaved person in the eyes of the Lord so don't worry about any one else my friend, secure your own salvation NOW!

When you look upon Jesus, at least three things happen.
1) You realize your own weaknesses and how distant you are from perfection.
2) You realize God's love and accept the forgiveness made possible through Christ's death for us on the cross.
3) You reflect His glory, not your own. It's the only way you can still stand in front of his perfect righteousness and not be consumed -- you receive, as a free gift, a righteousness you cannot earn. Looking at Jesus makes you humble and holy all at the same time.

And when Jesus looks upon you, with grace and truth, he smiles at your beautiful existence. God offers each and every one of us an undeserved love and salvation, but it's is our decision to receive it. His arms are open wide, but it's your choice to run into them. God did not make us into robots for a reason; it's not genuine love. God wants to see if we truly love him and if we'll trust that He'll provide us with everything we need.

To this very day, many are living their lives in shame, fear, and intimidation, as if they are victimized and living as the hopeless souls rather than living in the truth. The truth is, God created us because he wanted to pour down his love, his grace. Grace is meant to be received and enjoyed; it's freely given.

The scribes and Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the center of the court, they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act. Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?" And they were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground. But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. When they heard it, they began to go out one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the center of the court. Straightening up, Jesus said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you? She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go. From now on sin no more." John 8:3-11

Do you see how Jesus expressed grace toward the woman, as well as her accusers?

How will you live God's grace today?


Grace. Beautiful word, isn't it?

Because he loves us. If we repent our sins and change our life, ask him to forgive us, he will. All we have to do is ask, walk in the path of righteousness for his name sake. God so love the world that he gave his only son, and who ever believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. Amen. John 3:16

Because we are all God's children. And that makes us all his brothers and sisters. Don't hate for any reason. Jesus did not. I don't truly hate anybody. I don't like alot of people, but not to the point of hatred.
