I want Jesus to be proud of me, and try to deserve it.

Answer 1

Jesus spread Love.. but unfortunately I am not perfect and sometimes I answer in an un-Christian manner.. especially if I think the person asking the question is just trying to insult everyone.

Answer 2

It may of not been hate in our modern English sense of the word but he didliked kind of intensly. Like you said he judged the religious. In fact He had a lot to say about religious people (the Pharisees) and not once was it positive. Religion causes people to do crazy things. It has often tarnished the reputation of the church and given many people an excuse for rejecting God. It is no surprise then to find out from reading the gospels that Jesus rather hates religion.

How can we tell if we are getting religious? Find an issue that gets your opinion fired up, add ten years or think of your deathbed. Does it still matter? If time destroys it, maybe it's not worth fighting over. If it has eternal consequence, it's important.

Answer 3

Unfortunately, it's hard to know what message Jesus really spread due to the lack of accurate records. Jesus was the leader of a Jewish sect. After his death, his message was warped and manipulated by St. Paul (who never actually met him) who turned Jesus' teachings into Christianity. Christianity was then adopted by the Roman Emperor Constantine into a way to control people and it spread from there. Many theologians say that if Jesus saw the Christian church today, he'd be horrified...

Answer 4

He spread love and the truth. It isn't impossible to do both. However, the truth will offend many people, and does. There is a way to be truthful and loving at the same time; I try to do that on here. You are right that we should never judge a person to condemn them, but we are commanded to judge between God's truth and lies.
1 Cor. 6:2-3--- says, "Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?"

Answer 5

Does the love of the Lord Jesus always shine through. No? im still working on it and by his Holy Spirit,God is also. As far as casting stones if i see something thats a blatant false teaching i am gonna say something to point to verbal text punching them in the face. I deal with God punishing me later and he always does if i need correcting.But if im point on then he gives me cofirmation in some way that i did right.

Answer 6

If you are a Christian, it is important to put your faith at the right place - at Jesus but not his people.

Jesus's intend is to spread the love. Has he not shown us love, respect, humility and tolerance? Though humans are the messenger to the message, but all humans are weak and they will disappointed you. The evil in people cloud us from the true message and forget to behave like Jesus, and free-will facilitate people to do and say hateful things.

I don't know if what is going on 'here' is right or wrong, but I would ask people to ask themselves.....

Why they doubt so much, hate so much, criticise so much....

Is it because their faith has been disappointed by Jesus's people or Jesus himself?

Answer 7

I agree with you -- to a point. Jesus' primary message was one of love, but even He'd had enough when He saw the way that people had turned His Father's temple into a marketplace.

Most of the time, a loving and calm answer is the best approach. But there is also a time to "Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit. (Proverbs 26:5)" Those who mock or blaspheme my Lord and Savior will be told in no uncertain terms what I think of the way that they're acting.

Jesus had His moments of righteous anger, and I don't think His followers are held to a higher standard than He was.

Answer 8

I think too many people get too wrapped up in life's BS. God gave us life. All God is asking in return is that 1. believe in him and 2. be a good person. I don't think humor is bad, but maliciousness can be pretty mean sometimes. I work with a bunch of roughnecks and I am personally used to a lot. I think people need to learn to enjoy life as God has made it for you and just be a pleasant person. Of course a squirting flower in the eye of the right person is still pretty funny!

Answer 9

No, I am not sinless,I try very hard to say the correct words,but they all too often insult The Lord,who will
win a fight Jesus or Godzilla,they call every terrible
thing they can think of,Jesus is homosexual etc.etc.
I do not think I do Jesus proud letting them condemn
Him.

Answer 10

I agree, I try not to respond to stupid or hateful questions. - Jesus was here to spread the word of God and God is love si it makes sense that it was LOVE that Jesus was spreading.

Woe to those who are saying that good is bad and bad is good, those who are putting darkness for light and light for darkness, those who are putting bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! - Isa 5:20
