Do Christians have Love ??

Question

I personally don't think Christians have pure love...

1.Christians in general want a ticket to heaven and fear of dropping to hell...So there is a motive here...This is not Pure love.

2.When Christians do go to heaven...I can't imagine if they have any feelings for those dwelling in Hell..(if it happens anyway)..Just imagine yourself in heaven and billions and billions of other people in hell .

3.Christians generally enjoy their beef steak but that steak comes from a cow who died horribly being slaughtered at the slaughtered house...Try putting these Christians to see those horrific events, hear the cow moaning in pain...than we will see many becoming vegetarian because they could be affected by compassion, anyway general Christians don't have compassion for animals because they don't know if animals have souls ??

4.When a Buddist helps a person he does it without any motive..Just pure goodness, but when a Christian helps.he does it with a motive which is converting the innocent.

Ofcourse there are good Christians but the majority have a motive behind them...

Answer 1

God says you are wrong:

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

We love because he first loved us.

I John 4:7,8,19

Answer 2

1) Not every Christian is like that. And to give credit to those who are, Jesus did say that whom ever fears him will have eternal life...

2) Why should I have feelings for someone who is in Hell? I mean I do feel sorry for you and the fact that you're in pain but I did try to warn you.

3) I'm sure there are millions, if not, more Christians that are vegetarians! Come on! And for those who aren't (like me) God put all the animals on earth so that we could live. Ever heard of the circle of life? The cow eats grass, we eat cow, we poop cow, and it goes back to the soil that grows the grass that another cow will eat. See...we need each other.

4) Now I know that when I help someone, it's really, truly out of the kindness of my heart. I'm not even thinking about what I'll gain from it. It's the feeling that I get for doing it. A lot of other Christians are the same way. And if they aren't, then don't you think God sees that and rules them as non-Christian? God sees everything pal! So don't worry. Those fake chrisitans who aren't doing things out of pure love, they'll get theirs in the end!

Answer 3

and here we go again with the non-christian once again sterotypically persecuted christians. This is honestly getting really old. Not all christians love people because a motive to convert the innocent. I do it just because I feel like it is morally right and to help people that are going through a hard time. And what is it with that cow part? Well from what I've heard cow dies in a very humane way. They get the hit in the skull with a hammer, and they don't even feel it.

Answer 4

1) I am not a Christian because I fear hell. Hell was not the motivation for my becomming a Christian. Love was. It is God's unfathomable love for me, His forgiveness when I screw up, His mercy, His peace, His patience, His guidance... but most of all, it is His LOVE for me that compels me to love Him back and to want to serve Him. Fear does not cause subjects to love and be loyal to their King (it makes them oppressed). Love makes them loyal.

2) I am heartbroken by the thought of anyone suffering in Hell. I don't wish that fate on anyone. That's why Christians want to share the gospel with others - so that they too can be saved. We share because we care! (rhyme unintentional)

3) Some Christians are vegetarians; some eat meat. But, Christians are not the only people in this world who eat meat and don't feel guilty about it. When prey in the wild are killed and eaten by their predators, it's rarely pretty. Should we stop them from eating meat too? I don't see what this has to do with "Do Christians have Love?" By the way, I love my animals. They're like a part of the family, and I am very sensitive to the suffering of other living things. My husband is always laughing at me because I won't even let him kill lady bugs that get into the house!

4) Christians do not have the power to "convert" anyone. Only God has the power to change someone's heart. When Christians help others, they do so with unselfish motives (or they should - I realize I certainly can't speak for everyone who labels themselves Christian). We hope to show others the love of Christ by our actions, so that they can see His goodness and so that they too might have a relationship with Him. When I share my faith, I do so only because I want others to experience the same joy and peace that I have.

Answer 5

Yes Christians have pure love. I can tell you from personal experience. When I help people I truly want their lives to be better. To you conversion seems like a negative thing, am i right? Christians believe that when they are a good witness to Christ and lead others to him, they are helping to save their souls from eternal damnation. That is the great commandment, "to go out and tell the good news to all people," so, no, it's not for their own sake. They are just so thankful that someone showed them the light.

Answer 6

"True" Christians have a love that cannot be explained, it can only be displayed. its not right trying to dump every christian in one catergory. i know people who proclaim to be christian but are not. but i also know people that eminate true love. Oh yeah and God created the animals like the chicken to be eaten, otherwise, it wouldn't be a chicken. and how do you know that when a buddist helps a person, he does it without any motive.(no offence). i believe pure goodness can eminate from anyone.

Answer 7

Probably best not to lump all people into one mold. People are individuals first and foremost. There are many good people in this world of all faiths, including atheists.

Answer 8

you do not know what you are talking about. christians do not want nay one to go to hell and that is why they want to share the good news of Jesus. doing good will not help you getto heaven only knowing Jesus in your heart will.

Answer 9

I don't think its right to clump all of them into one category. I've met a ton of nasty, hateful christians. I've also met a few good ones.

Answer 10

i'm a worse christian cos i dun spread gospel. at the end of the day, God will judge, we have no say who's is truly devoted in his or her faith.
