I hate sin and I hate lies, but I don't hate people. I am not
Catholic by the way. Saying that those who do not believe in Jesus are not going to Heaven is not hateful or spiteful, it is what we believe. We are not some exclusive club. Anyone anywhere can believe this.
If Christians were to say that there are many ways to get to Heaven, we are calling Jesus a liar.
Many religions have many ways to get to God the father. But as the bible states no man can come to the Father but by JESUS. So that means not by Buda, Krishna, etc...or by your church, but by JESUS. He is the Way the Truth and the Life. We do not get to the Father because we are members of a church. We must be Born Again of and incorruptible seed like Peter and Jesus talked about. Jesus said "Marvel not that I say unto you, you MUST BE BORN AGAIN!"
JOHN 14:6 - "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father but through Me." (Jesus)
We cannot interpret this verse any differently. It is very very clear. Jesus is the ONLY way to Heaven. Saying that we hate other religions in that we hate that they keep people from knowing Christ would be true. I hate that so many lies exist that will cause so many people pain and suffering.
Saying that Jesus is not the only way means that you are not a Christian because you don't believe Jesus.
Muslims do not believe that Christians are going to Heaven either. Where did you get that information. A lot of Muslims literally hate Christians because of what they believe. Muslim extremists think it is a good thing to kill Christians (infadels). Is this better than Christianity?

I am a Christian, and I hate no one. I do not hate other religions, or nationalities, or colors of skin. I want every one to be saved from hell. There maybe some Christians that believe they are better than everyone else, but they are wrong. GOD loves all and hates sin.

These are the souls that lack the knowledge and understanding of the faith mostly any sect outside of the catholic faith for they are not exposed to the fullness of the truth however some have a high reverence for the word of God which should be respected although they to run a risk of error and misinterpretations of sacred scripture

According to our Christian belief (Catholic and Greek Orththox).... Jesus Lord taught that the Holy Spirit works in all humans... Christians or followers of other religions or none....
.... heavens is for the pure hearted and all those who help their fellow humans as Lord Jesus himslef declared when he taught that those who feed, nourish, help, comfort and do good to others are his true disciples.....
.... Apostle Peter was guided by an Angel to enter the house of a Roman non Christian centaurian and preach there... he declared himself that he understood from the vision shown to him that all God's creatures are pure.....
We do not hate any person.. our religion is a religion of love... fanatics are in every religion.....
.... heavens is for all God's sons and daughters... Christians or non-Christians.

Not all are like that. But , I understand what you are saying and I do agree that a lot of them do hate other religions.
They seem to be unsure of what they believe in, and maybe they are afraid that other religions are right.
I'm not sure why they are so abuse of of other religions, and why they are so judgmental ,when they preach that their god is the only one who can judge. But I'm sure that they not all are like that. Or at least I can hope.
Thank you.
^>^
Ps: No I'm not be judgmental I'm just stating what I see and read. Thank you.

Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes unto the Father except by me."
That's why we say only Christians go to heaven. If it was up to me, I'd let in everyone who had led a good life. But it's NOT up to me, and my standards obviously aren't as high as God's.
But I don't think I'm "special." I was offered the same gift everyone else has been. I just chose to accept it.

The VAST majority of the other religions do not even have a heaven that is an equal counterpart to the Biblical Heaven.
Plus, I am a Christian and I don't hate other religions. I respect them.

properly , first of all , many Christians attempt to transform others , that's something Jews , as an occasion , in no way do. and that i propose in many countries Christians are constantly contained in maximum individuals.In Chrisitian international places that's many times the different religions that are interior the minority that are many times persecuted and discriminated against.It s no longer very honest and that i think of that would properly be inflicting the detest directed in direction of Christians. Its purely , why might desire to some human beings be continuously persecuted and a few constantly regular (with the help of maximum individuals of the international I propose).i might desire to admit some Christians are certainly illiberal.The Christian values are unfold everywhere , and compelled unto the non-Christians. Like seeing happy Chrisitmas everywhere throughout December. and not another faith hates us.there are a number of very tolerant human beings obtainable. i think of with a view to provide up all of the detest we purely might desire to care extra approximately different religions and not stress Jesus or the different form of Christian values onto others.i think of the undesirable element approximately faith is that it motives many conflicts and wars. EDIT: Heathen Princess : how are you able to ask for tollerance from us in case you're so illiberal in direction of Christianity? in case you think of we re following a pretend messiah , right for you , yet dont push YOUR concept onto us! EDIT 2 : Btw , yeah , your definition of "persecution" IS slightly distorted. And to all of the others who stated Christians have persecuted others , definite , genuine , yet dont forget approximately , on the very beginning up while Christians have been nonetheless a small minority , they have been certainly persecuted for his or her faith!As in somewhat persecuted , no longer in basic terms with the help of the asker's definition. Burnt , stoned , etc. with the help of the Jews ( with all my admire interior the international to the Jews).

Where did you receive your information that Christians "hate" every other religion out there? I have no hate for anyone on the face of this earth.

To say that everyone doesn't go to Heaven is not hateful.
It's just the truth.
Remember, neither God nor Christians send people to Hell.
People send themselves to hell and any person who sends himself to hell is the one who is full of hate - hate against the God who created him.
By the way, I am a Catholic and don't hate other religions. Your statement is very broad and prejudiced.
God bless you.
