These church people i know are always making fun of people and putting them down. I go to church and i don't recall anything in the bible that says it's ok to make fun of others and it really bothers me when church people act this way because that is not the way God works. Why are people such hypocrites? Aren't we as christians supposed to love and respect each other? I know quite a few church people that are like this, and i can't stand it! What's the best way to deal with people like this?

Every church has there hypocrits and its something we all have to deal with. In the word, Jesus tells us to love one another and to not be boastful ( Matthew 6:5-8). All i can say is don't let it get to you and ignore it; it might be hard but its the best you can do and plus God is pleased with those that do this.
Hopefully this help

Christians don't know the meaning of polite. They think that everyone who does not believe EXACTLY like they believe then they are going to hell. They condemn other christians for interpreting the bible differently. I wish christians were not such hypocrites and were loving like they CLAIM to be. they need to "live and let live" so to speak, at least open their minds and let some fresh air in now and then!!

No its not acceptable. Sometimes some Christians get a little rambunctious on YA answers but I know they know better.
My church does not make fun of people, I am sorry the one you attend does.
Perhaps you can pray about it and then go to that person privately and give them scripture. They should be told.
Or you can change churches and find one that is more christ-like. Unfortunately, many people who go to church are not Christians, they just attend out of tradition.

Christians are supposed to build each other up. Sounds like they need a refresher. We are supposed to be humble and kind. Tell them we are supposed to be kind and caring to one another. Find scripture to show them. Col 3:12 Mat 9:36 Eph 4:32 Jam 5:11 1 Pet 3:8 Phi 2:3

that's, for my area, no longer perfect to grant a thumbs right down to those who're expressing their opinion. There are no longer any precise or incorrect evaluations, that's basically whilst human beings state issues that are their opinion, yet insist they're data that a thumbs down is optimal. Being a liberal non-Christian, I in straightforward terms take concern with Christians whilst they attempt to "teach" that their non secular perception is the only actual one. you notice, it is not considerable to me one little bit what it says interior the Bible. The Bible isn't a holy e book for me, that's in straightforward terms a variety of of myths and legends that have been misquoted and intentionally rewritten over the centuries to greater healthful the ideals and values of the circumstances. that's not greater particular than the different e book on mythology. In particularly some the questions and solutions that I even have examine it type of feels that the only ones that get the thumbs down, or get blasted are people who attempt to let us know all that their way is the only way. you may desire to recollect that it fairly is basically actual for you, as a Christian, it has no relation to the different faith or spirituality. i desire that solutions your question in a non-threatening way.

Not all people who say they are Christians, are Christians. The best way that I know how to deal with them is to pray and turn the other cheek and let them go.

Yes, you are quite right. I have found that the best way to respond is to live by example. Don't make fun of other people. Don't support their behavior. It may take them a little while, but they will notice, and they will be affected.

Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies. bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you, and persecute you. also, read Matthew 5 :45-48.
They talked about Jesus and put Him down, and beat Him, cursed Him, spit on him, laughed at Him, crucified Him and never believed on Him. (This all happened after He healed, saved and delivered them and raised some of them from the dead.) He was still forgiving even on the cross. Don'''t follow church people...Follow Jesus.

If you believe that you and you alone and your religion alone have the truth, yes. And christians believe everyone but them is going to hell... so, they behave poorly. But I quickly add, that fundamentalist christians, as a group, are less educated, less intelligent that those unaffected with their 'disease', so maybe it is just out of poor taste, poor manners, and poor upbringing.... ya think?
