I really hope so. Let's set a good example. We should be a witness to others. We have to show people we are different. Jesus Christ should be our model. He loved us so we must love others. I'm not trying to accuse or offend anyone. It's just something to think about.

You're right. Most non Christians complain of hypocrisy. they say Christians don't follow Christ's teachings and they are right. We are not here to be defensive or angry but to share our faith and mostly our love for others even when they don't agree with us. Jesus told us to answer a curse with a blessing and to love and pray for even those who are our enemies. ( And having different beliefs does not even make someone an enemy) I hope all Christians begin to understand this.

Love is the absence of hate so it is very easy to please God and other humans with a loving and kind attitude.
Hate is the absence of love (in God's eyes) and this is common to human nature although far from being considered dominant.
Always it is the evil few who get all the attention in media and this has to change and focus on the Good people and Good things in society. God created the world and saw that it was GOOD!

Of course! Everyone should be tolerant and accepting of all others. That doesn't go hand-in-hand with agreeing with them though. Just attempt to do your "speak to others with love" without it being under the cloak of Christianity. People are often suspicious and stand-offish when there is a reason for why you are being nice to them! No-one likes a hidden agenda.

Because love is a power that some people may not want others to use.

Yes, we should show love as God did. Jesus said the greatest commandement is, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart,all your soul, all your mind and all your strength. And Love your neighbour as you love yourself". So its all in showing our genuine Love to God and others.
When we show this love, we cannot do any harm to others. because how then can we hurt someone whom we love.
And everyone born can decide to show love or harm.so its our choice.

I often wonder that myself.
If more Christians lived like Christ their arguments would be much more convincing.
Love and respect

Yes we can speak to others with love, I don't see why not unless they try to force some false teachings down us, & then we have to stnd our ground. It would be nice if we speak nice to others & they in turn speak nice to us. But 99% of them won't speak nice to us, We can not use Jesus as an excuse, Jesus did speak nice to people, but he also call them Scibes & Phiarsess,

I agree my friend!
Sometimes the only time a person will hear about Jesus is through us, His representatives.
Everything we do should be for His glory.
