No. God called us to be loving and nice and kind and generous to everyone, not just other believers How can we lead them to the love of God if they dont see loving ppl????? WE are commanded to live as Jesus lived, and we see that He was never unkind to anyone. He even hung around child molesters and prostitutes, wanting them to know Gods love and allow that to change them.
If we all lived like Jesus lived, what a perfect world we would have, and God is calling us now to that way of life more than ever before. In these last days, it will be so easy to be decieves and fall away from God, with so much deception. ONly when we love God enough to obey, and live as Jesus , will we get thru victoriously till Jesus comes. and kindness is surely part of them, and helpfuless, and humbleness, and generosity, sharing what we have with others, not just those we say are LIKE US. WE are to look after the homeless, the widows, the children.... and thats just a place to begin.
If we have the heart of Jesus, its not hard to do.
God is calling us back. fully to Him. HOw many will come?????

Let's let Jesus take this one:
‘You have heard that it was said, “You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy.” But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax-collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers and sisters, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.' (Matthew 5:43-48 (NRSV))
‘ “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.” This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: “You shall love your neighbour as yourself.” On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.’ (Matthew 22:37-40 (NRSV))

Of course not. Human beings should show hospitality to all people no matter what they believe or whom they worship. Being Christian does not put you above everyone else, and regardless, you should treat all people with hospitality and respect.

Of course not! Everyone should show hospitality, no matter what religion or racial distinction. People need to face the facts, we can't all be the same person. Far from it, we need to open up and except everyone.

Of course not--there is not one religion that is right nor is it right to treat one religion above the others.
Christianity is a religion, and it's a religion that has millions of followers. That doesn't mean that it should take over the world, even though it's #1 or #2 in the world.
Also for Christians--Jesus has never said to love only those who believe as you do.

I find it funny that most christians will answer this question with something like "God teaches us to show hospitality to ALL human beings" Yet, if asked if gay people are included in that, you get some interesting responses.

We Christians are to be hospitible to ALL people, but not join into agreements or bind ourselves to them because what union does light and darkness have? We are to love and pray for those who hate us and despitefully USE us or say mean things about us, even feed our enemy if he is hungry, but we are to continue to be "wise as a serpent and gentle as a dove". We are to be children of God and keep ourselves listening at all times how to behave with everyone.., and "love" doesn't mean "passive or submitting or stupid". It is a decision to not harm anyone purposely and to be repentent when we do accidently.
Read in the books of Matthew and Luke in the New Testament and it is very clear! We are to be as salt and light in this world, but not "mindless and submissive to the enemy", or his mission against us.

No way, we are to act as Jesus did , Jesus says I HAVE NOT COME FOR THE RIGHTEOUS BUT THE UNRIGHTEOUS. Therefore we are to love everybody no matter what religion colour or creed ,or no matter what they have done, we are all sinners, christian or not and we should never forget that . Jesus never forsake us He died on a cross for our sins so we can be forgiven, we must be hospitable to everyone.

Absolutely not!
For God so loved the WORLD the He gave His only begotten son...
God wants us to show love, honor and respect to all our fellow man. In so doing, we show the world how God loves them.
Hospitality is one of the most gracious things we can bestow on each other without allowing religious factors to come into play.
A very good question to ask and I hope many take the time to think about it. God bless.

How approximately if I say all non-Christians. that's what the Bible says. The Bible is The word of God, so because it quite is a incredibly sturdy authority. all of the mumbo jumbo religions which at the instant are not consistent with Jesus Christ is a sufficiently all encompasing answer. additionally risk-free are those cults that declare to be Christian, yet checklist someone simply by fact the perfect authority. They understand who they are. the share isn't important. faith in Jesus Christ is what counts. in case you do not look after the respond, it quite is a difficulty for you. you could disbelieve till the day you die and go through the outcomes for eternity. There are no 2nd opportunities when you die. Or, you could settle for, by skill of religion, the reality that Jesus is God and that he died to pay on your and my sins, because we won't pay for them ourselves, rose from the lifeless on the 0.33 day, partly to coach who he's, and is waiting for His time to return to earth. Issuing those variety of annoying circumstances to Christians to convince you of the certainty does not paintings. that's not our accountability to convince you of something. it quite is our accountability to tell you the certainty. something is between you and God.
