Jesus is for love.Jesus said to love your enemies.Jesus said to help the poor.Jesus said It is easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of heaven.Jesus helped the prostitutes and thieves.That to me is the opposite of what I hear from the religious right.The evangelical religious group.How about you?

i don't know the answer to your question, but i do want to point one thing out...
the ''eye of the needle'' Jesus is referring to was a hole in the wall around jerusalem. it was possible for a camel to go through, but it was a tight fit. Jesus never denounced rich people for being rich... Solomon was the richest man who ever lived, and his father, David, wasn't far behind. there are many rich people mentioned throughout the bible that are not labelled wicked, sinful, or foolish. that saying just tells us not to arrogate ourselves to say something like ''i don't need God, because i have money.'' the eye of the needle is not a literal eye of a literal needle.
for that one answer jamustrip... an antichrist is biblically defined as a person who teaches that the Christ is not the Son of God. there are billions of antichrists. but you're on the right track. lol. these other guys mentioned in the question would be known as false prophets.

I don't put the blame on Jesus, because I'm not a Christian. As a non-Christian, I don't care what Jesus did or said one way or the other - that stuff is the Christians' concern. What I do care about is the actions of his followers in this world. If Christians say and do crazy things, and tell everyone they're doing it for Christ, then I put the blame on the people doing it and Christianity in that order.

Jesus said to do all those good things, and if you don’t, he will gently deep-fry your butt in hell. How can these be compatible? It can’t. Scriptures were corrupted from the beginning. If not then Jesus was a walking contradiction. I would say he was only an enlightened man, but some, who were in desperate need of a Messiah, turned him into one, and others even turned him into a god.

Ah, are you sure? evangelical teaching is the opposite?
If yes, then the pastor must be misleading or you may understand it wrongly. ;-D
I help when someone needs help the best i can. If help the the prostitutes, better off female who handle it not man.
Don't always trust what one person said, read the bible verse once more and try to understand it then ask others.
cheers

I doubt that anyone blames Jesus for anything bad.
Almost all of the problems around religion in America have to do with the bad behavior of Christians.

It's one of those irrational things about people.
They see someone doing something they disagree with, and say "You did that in the name of.....".
It's right up there with hating an entire country, and it's people, for the actions of a very few people from that country.
Stupid, isn't it?
It all comes down to laziness - it's easier to generalise than to say "That specific person is, in my opinion, bad / did something I disagree with.....".
People. What can you do with them? Forgive them because they're only human? If there's a better way, I haven't found it yet, and sure-as, getting mad with them doesn't seem to help.

There are currently 24 wars/conflicts (on-going) in the world today - all due in part to religious and ideological differences.
I blame organized religion.

Be a Christ not a christian.
Compasion and selfless love the other name for christ.
When there is compasion and selfless love in you you are already jesus it does not matter whether you are a chritian or not.
Stop listening to others. They are there only to confuse you.

It is not the fault of the man Christians call Jesus (not his real name).
It is not his fault that Christians gave up on God and Crowned Jesus as their new God claiming that he was really God all the time.
It is not 'Jesus' fault that Christians are just another church of man and that they war, murder, steal, and lie..just like all the other churches of man.
Do not fault the man Christians call Jesus.
Jesus loved all of mankind...Christians say they do, but in the end their actions speak louder than words.
I refuse the lable Christian. I put my faith in God..the real God, the only God, the original God.
I also love the man Christians call 'Jesus' and believe he is the SON of God and that he died to replace the sin sacrafice mandated by God.
I also study his teachings, without the need of Christian explanations, interpretations, extrapolations (spin).
I am not Christian, I am just a humble servant of God.

I have found that SOME evies are not well versed on the WORD OF GOD, but on what the preacher said.that is why. we have to balance what is said in the pulpit with the WORD, even when they quote it. the evies have the best speakers, but do they have the best teachers of THE WORD? study the scriptures daily......
