how is it that talking about the love of JESUS CHRIST is promoting hate?

Its not. The thing is that Jesus Christ set a particular lifestyle one that many find hard to live. They love their sins and refuse to give them up. For this reason they resent and hate those that "preach" this. \n\nAlso some people feel that due to the way Jesus died that we are going to hate Jewish people. That's silly its completely opposite of his teachings of brotherly love. Jesus forgave those that were hurting him at that time. So I must do the same. Besides I can't hold an entire race or faith resposible for things done by specific few over 2000 years ago.

It is hate that you must understand if you are to understand the why of your query,as well as so many other questions.\nPeople hate some have reasons,some remarkably hate because they are good Christians,others hate because they don't understand,still others are pure evil and hate just to hate.

Jesus was NOT homophobic, he does love all, including the prostitutes, homosexuals, theives, even.... tax collectors (Now thats really tough to do!) and on and on.  Love for a person, and most importantly their soul, doesn't mean Jesus, me, or you or anyone has to, or should love their shortcomings, transgressions or sins.  And yes... check out Romans, it DOES clearly and quite plainly condemn the practice of homosexuality regardless of what the queer preists, nuns,  pastors, bishops and so on say.  Seems they just skip over those passages.

i think it's because some people find it offensive to religions that don't believe in Jesus.

I've found that those who teach "tolerance" tend to be some of the most intolerant people on earth. Their message is self-contradictory. Love is better than so-called tolerance, and love should be unconditional. Love can tell someone their wrong, strongly dissagree with them, and still go and pray for them for good. The "tolerance" preached by many nowadays is and lacks love, and tends to let someone ignorantly run in front of a car, and not warn them for the sake of "tolerance". I certainly hope that if I was doing something stupid that could get me hurt or killed, and someone saw me, they would have enough love in their hearts to warn me! Telling someone they are wrong is not the same as forcing your beliefs on someone. I advice those who believe in tolerance to be more tollerant of people who tell them they are wrong about something- we do not have the right not to be dissagreed with!

"Jesus Loves and Adores"\n\nI'd say that all true Christians should be unashamed of Christ, but as far as making Jesus sound like a teddy bear...\n\nI agree with telling people about Jesus, and I'm not sure why you even asked this question (unless you're just trying to be argumentative).  But unless the rest of your post/letter/message honors God, I wouldn't sign His name to it.\n\nYes, Jesus loves us, but unless we turn from our sins, we'd be just as well off not knowing that.  And I'm pretty sure that WE are the ones supposed to be doing the adoring.\n\nBut, hey man, I'm not trying to put you down or judge you; that's none of my business.  Sorry if I gave that impression.  It's just that the Savior, his grace, and his message are so much more than a cute-sounding phrase.\n\nThere are Christians who are being imprisoned, tortured, and martyred for Jesus at this moment.  Kind of puts things in perspective, doesn't it?\n\nIn Christ,\neph514

There will always be people who claim they are doing something in the name of God.  They are not thinking whether or not this is something Jesus would do.  I am sure this is something Jesus would not do.  These people are turning people away from Christ and are giving Christians a bad name.  It angers me to see something like that.  They will have their day when they have to give God an explanation for their actions.

Because the orgin of Jewish hatered stems from the cruxcifixion of Jesus Christ.  In the Bible, the Book of Matthew, Jesus told us that the world would hate us because we are like him. He wasn't talking about being Jewish but being Christian.  However, the Jewish people in the Bible are the ones who hung Jesus to the cross. Some of the hatered comes from the Jewish belief that Jesus was just a man and not the son of God.  Others come from the secret control of entites in the Amercian and global business world.  It is never right to hate, but it happens.\n\n\nHope this helps.

The Bible nor Christianity advocates hurting anyone. It is the people that hurt others. \nPeople make mistakes and people are sometimes hateful without thinking of others and their feelings but noone should b mad at GOD for what people do. \nWe just need to learn to love as Christ did. He loved the person but not the sin and when someone did sin He did not walk up and condemn them to hell he humbly pointed out their wrong ( usually by asking them a question that caused them to stop and think ).

That He did say those things is true, and that He practiced them is likewise true, but what is your point? Is it to  denigrate Him, or His followers? That the Church has failed to follow His teachings has been  plainly demonstrated by history, as well as by the current crop of Christendom. So I take it you have issues with Him. I suggest you take those issues up with Him personally and quit trying to make us look bad; we are doing a pretty good job of that all by ourselves.\n\n Haven’t you figured out by now that people are happy with their ‘religion’, as long as it doesn’t cost them much or actually involve obeying Jesus’ commands? Thus He said in Luke 6:46 ‘Why do you call me Lord, Lord and do not the things I say unto you.’ \n\nShhhh, please don’t disturb the sleeping babes. Let them sleep, content in their religion, family values, covetous possessions, patriotism, worldly ethics and apple pie. The blast of the Trumpet should wake them from their slumber. Too late to prepare for the groom, but time to enjoy the fruit of their labors under the reign of the anti-Christ.

I would say that at the moment Christians are getting a bad reputation because of the small percentage of Evangelical Right Christians that are choosing what parts of the Christian belief system they want to harp on and what parts they would like to ignore.  Very few people like Hypocrites.  \n\nOn a whole I would say that no one would hate a Christian that was trying to follow their doctrine as close as possible. When you are living a life in service to others trying to help everyone you meet without bias or judging you tend to get on everyone's good side.\n\nFor example, if you walk up to someone and say "your a sinner and I am going to pray for you." They are going to get defensive, start thinking of all your faults and nothing (positive) will be achieved.  However, if you instead bring the starving food, give blankets to homeless, cheer up the depressed then when you ask them if they want to go pray with you they might be a bit more receptive.\n\nOf course if they say no you have to respect that as well.

Your confusing things.  People who don't believe in Christianity don't 'hate' Jesus.  The problem is the FOLLOWERS of him.  Those to degrade, talk down to, push their religion, tell people they are wrong, going to hell, judging, etc. those that don't believe Christianity.

It's the kind of nonsense that makes for war and keeps people separate from each other. Not what i think Jesus was really going for in his lifetime here. I don't think this sort of thing helps anyone but the church.

christianity is based on the teachings of christ ,christ sacrificed his life demonstration his conviction and faith in tolerance,forgivenes and peace and this question demonstrates that you have accepted negativity or satans anger in your heart and tit for tat is not christian like behavior also.if you read the book and understand the context it is to be taken in ,then you have nothing to fear this book is not attacking your beliefs,it is fiction,not real and it is an expression of art you may not appreciate however you are no better by condemning others and personalizing and harboring negativity and your last two battle cries for angry christians are scary and the reason alot of people turn atheist or are afraid of the christian terrorists,no one can take anyone else who does not practice what they preach seriosly,and  seriously,selfrighteous hatred or intolerance only promotes more of the same ineffective communication  barriers and ruins the speakers credibility and tends to make some question intelligence which is unfair but a reality that does exist.\nif you want others to respect your religion then you must respect their values or individuals with different vales and model the behavior you expect from others,this does not mean you must not have personal objections to this for yourself and you can tell yourself this misguided fool is going to hell and pray for their soul without spreading hateful intolerance and inciting hatred for all christians or religions by refraining from telling this person they atre going tohell and protesting because they do not share your views and its not fair some other group was treated differently

Yes, it is wrong to hate someone. Jesus commanded us to love our neighbor (everyone). \n\nThis is "agape" love, where you hope and pray for the best for each person.\n\nHowever this does not mean that we have to like them or approve of their actions.\n\nLove and approval are two very different things.\n\nWith love in Christ.
