That only instills hatred and rebellion in their souls.

Nothing can condemn you but your own actions.
Light simply exposes you for who you really are.
Not a pretty picture.
"For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God."
John 3:17-21

I can't save anyone. This is why it is so wonderful to serve God and just love people. It is up to the Holy Spirit to reveal who Jesus is. I want the best for everyone, you too. Jesus did not come to condemn, but to give life. Those that condemn sometimes don't understand this and need to mature a little more. I am sorry if you have been hurt by anyone. This is not the purpose of God coming to earth and dying.

they obviously aren't true christians who speak from heart? a lot of christians...er "christians" tend to act like they're in touch with God when all they do is use the power to judge and condemn people. and yes, it does instill hatred and rebellion plus "judgementalism" and racism and discrimination and a whole lot of other crap
not being judgemental myself- i've seen actual christians like that

If you are speaking about Christians, we neither save others nor condemn. Only Jesus Christ has the power to save; Christians simply spread his good news.
But consider your proposition in a general sense: If someone were to save you from something foolish and dangerous, wouldn't it take some condemnation? For example, if you were driving at 80 MPH without headlights in a construction zone at night, wouldn't it take some condemnation to save you?

They are false prophets who think they are saving and all they
do is accuse and judge others wrongly
And they are the ones in denial Fundamentalists
Evangelicans and Baptists fit this mold and all Charismatics
they are perfect little angels with no sin in their life

Fact is dude, christians arent perfect. We dont always say the right thing, we dont always evangelize in the proper way..and sometimes we come off more aggressive than loving..but at the heart of it, we just want people to experience Christ. Im guilty of this with my sister...when I try to tell her about Christ and its something Im working on.
It doesnt make Christianity a falsehood though..just because we fumble in how to tell it. We're just passionate human beings..trying to sincerely care about others.

FIGURE THIS OUT
Why do people always say Christians "condemn" people? I have, personally, NEVER heard a Christian tell someone they're going to Hell and if they do they're not true Christians...
"OHHHH There it is, the "they're not real Christians" thing!"...well they're not. In the 7th Century leaders of the church said that we were not supposed to tell people they were going to Hell when trying to convert them.
It's the stupid puritans that started that whole thing up again.

Actually, there is nothing to save us from, and nothing to save us with. The "hatred and rebellion" in our souls is just the same as our hatred and rebellion for any other timewasting conmen.

A person cannot propose to "save" others.
Salvation is through grace by faith alone. Faith is the solitary & true approach to God. It is all that is needed, all that is required.
As a Christian I can bring the Word of God to others. But it is not me who saves them.

It`s just a way of trying to bully people into believing the same as them.
