Answer 1

Rae, there are only TWO kinds of Christians:

True Christians, They read the Bible just once or twice and immediately learn the message that's in there. They learn that the message is just ONE word, LOVE. They SEE and KNOW that as a guideline for their own lives and they go out and DO just that, They LOVE. They love everyone, not just others who believe as they do but EVERY single person that they meet and do so unconditionally.

The other kind of Christians are Bibleans, They read and re-read the Bible over and over again, memorizing it. THOSE are the ones who USE it as a weapon to slap down everyone else, even the REAL Christians. As many times as they read it, they never seem to actually FIND the message in it. They have NO concept of what LOVE, unconditional LOVE for everyone, even those who do not believe as they do, is all about. As much as they CLAIM that all those who don't believe as they do are possessed bhy Satan, THEY are the ones who are truly so possessed by him. They think that all they have to do is follow the Bible and don't have to do the actual work of loving, which is the TRUE message of Jesus. And that simply isn't so, They're like the Pharisees of the Bible, knowing that book through and through but not understanding the MEANING of the words in that book at all. Because they don't know the meaning of the book they use it as a weapon to hate rather than use the lesson of LOVE
to interact with everyone else. (((((Rae)))))

The old testament is an historical accounting of the nation of Israelites, commonly referred to as Jews. At the end of the history book, you will find a chapter that tells how God got fed up with them and decided the Jews were ungrateful, greedy sods and that they were no longer His chosen people. He then said that He would turn His energy to the Gentiles and welcome them into His fold instead. The ONLY tribe He was willing to continue to consider as part of His chosen clan were the Levites, the Priests of that day.

The new testament is an historical accounting of the days of Jesus and His death and resurrection, also incorporating prophecy in the form of Revelations.

People use the Bible and other holy books as an EXCUSE to support their views that THEY are the master race, the chosen people. Racial hatred from my perspective is about fear.

Answer 3

There there are dumb people--There are Religions with an agenda--There are nations that breed contempt for others --The bible does not prefer racism but gives an account of history and the early church. The reason there is so much hatred is because of Satan and his promoting things and an agenda that speaks to hate. Today we have a choice--accept and practice hatred or turn from it and as the bible says: "The second is like unto it thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy self."

Answer 4

Answer 5

Bible was written for all nations?? no it wasnt! leme proof

Jesus was a messenger to the Israelites only;

When the Gospel says preach to all nations, the context clearly is referring to the Nations of Israel Only .

"And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men out of every nation under heaven." [The Acts 2:5]
"Among all the nation of the Jews." [The Acts 10:22]

If Jesus(pbuh) said preach to all the nations he only meant preaching to all the nations of the Jews in the same way as the term is used above.
Preaching to non-Jews is the invention of Paul who took the teachings of Jesus(pbuh) to the "dogs and swine" the true followers of Jesus had been warned against. Paul was an enemy of the true Christians and warned his followers against them. Read the passage below and ask yourself who the 'circumcision group' is that Paul seems to be so set against. They are the Jewish Christians who had lived with Jesus and thus opposed Paul's teachings.
"Since an overseer is entrusted with God's work, he must be blameless...He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it. For there are many rebellious people, mere talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision group.

They must be silenced, because they are ruining whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach--and that for the sake of dishonest gain....and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of those who reject the truth." [Titus 1:7-14]
Paul sought to silence the true followers of Jesus, those he refers to as the 'circumcision group'; those whose beliefs he derides as 'Jewish myths'.
Jesus said:
"Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces." [Matthew 7:6]
The ministry of Jesus as a prophet was confined to Israel alone as is clear from his answer to a woman of Canaan when she sought blessings for her daughter:
"But he answered and said, I am sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." [Matthew 15:24]
Even when she asked for help and begged, she was told:
"It is not meet to take the children's bread and to cast it to dogs." [Matthew 15:26]
This is how Jesus clearly directed his disciples when he sent them for preaching:
"These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." (Matthew 10:5-6);
This is why early Christians were preaching only to the Jews:
"Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only." [Acts 11:19]
According to the prophecies, Jesus had to inherit the throne of David and to reign over the house of Jacob. [Luke 1:32-33]
"And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel." [Matthew 2:6]
When the apostles heard Peter in one place had preached the Gospel to non-Israelites, they were annoyed:
"And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him, saying, Thou wentest into men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them." [Acts 11:2-3]
It was in accordance with the preaching of Jesus that we read:
The Question here is whether or not Christian missionaries (whom are generally knowledgeable of the Bible) contradict Jesus.
For this to be True, than the Bible must make statements which specifically declare Christian missionary work is forbidden, a sin, and would go against other commandments in the Bible.
"Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia" (Acts 16:6)
Clearly Jesus forbid preaching outside Israel and the Holy Spirit also forbid preaching to non-Israeli land such as Asia.
