I dont know what Jesus said, but the rule of thumb is: Treat people the way you wanted to be treated.

To me the saying is about empathy. If you were to percive suffering from anothers perspective, you would be discouraged from making that person suffer.\nBut then does that mean that we are all selfish creatures, only not doing bad for fear that we might one day be on the recieving end? I don't think so; I genuiely think we are onditioned aginst causing others pain. Of course there are exceptions to this.\nThe biggest problem facing the idea today is the fact that we are encouraged to divide into "them" and "us". People who do not share the same country/race/religion as us are portrayed as less human and therfore less deserving of this empathy. With these people we are encouraged not to care about their well being.\n\nPerhaps the phrase should be "Treat ALL others.."\n\nSorry I couldnt think of an example ;)

It is your call to decide what is right and wrong for YOURSELF. Telling others what is right and wrong for them is being judgmental.\n\nMorally speaking, I would suggest Matthew 7:1-2\n" Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."  and John 8:7 "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone"

First,  it is a good thing that you question, and don't believe what you have quote about Jesus.\n\nI will start with what Jesus said.  He said you can't serve two lords, money and God,  a person must put his faith in God, and not money over God.  Quote:"It is easier for a camel to enter the eye of the needle than a rich man can enter Heaven."  forgive any mistakes, it is not word by word quote, but Jesus wanted us to know that we should be serving God, not money.  FYI, the eye of the needle refers to one of the gates to Jerusalem.  The door is small, and camels couldn't enter through that gate without bending over, and for camels that is impossible.  \nYou can't buy your way into heaven, nor get your sin forgiven by paying for it.  Jesus preached kindness, justice, and advocated charity to all the needy.  It is required for a Christian to give to the poor.  He also said, whatever you give you will get in return, same as Karma.\nHuman gas factors! where not churches they were a places of hate, a places of destruction, not a places of worship.\n\nAs for the Killing!  It is not Christianity that called for the killing of others, whether it is Muslims or any other people, it is people who are the killers.  If you look,  you will find that the Christians are not the one who are killing the Muslims, but the other way around.   Some Muslims are killing Christian, Buddhist  and Hindus.  Some of them kill because they believe that is what their religion ask them to do, and some translate the Quran in a way to suit the purpose of the day.  The Muslims are the one who calls for conquring the world, and converting the whole world into Islam, not Christians.\n\nI believe in my faith because of Jesus Christ.  How he lived his life, how he treated others, Didn't lead a single war, even thou at his time they were under the control of the Romain, but never took violence to solve it.  Never owned a human being, not one slave.  Treated everyone as equal.  He practiced what he preached, among many more reasons.\n\nTo me it is The religion, but it doesn't discount nor discredit other religion who do ask for human rights to be respected, and justice for all.\n\nA true religion to me is the religion which ask its' faithful to treat each others as they would they want them to be treated.  To love one another, no matter who or what they are.  The name of the religion is not important, it is what people do with their faith is the most important.\n\nPeace to one and ALL

We let others sin go right by us ... we sweep their evil under the rug and endure all their iniquity.  Lets also look hard in the mirror and when the evil is our own, do the exact opposite and make sure to go and make ammends for our wrongs before doing anything else.\n\nKeep turning the other cheek and take the spot least availible always putting others first.\namen

I read these many entries speaking against God, Jesus Christ, the Bible, and the Christian people... and it breaks my heart. \nYour question was beautifully written and asked. Remember what Jesus told us to do when the "unbelievers" reacted to Him and to His Word in this manner.\n\nMatthew 5:11 \nBlessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. \n\nMatthew 5:44 \nBut I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; \n\nAnd when you've said and done all that you can do:\n\nMark 6:11 \nAnd whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.\n\nGod bless you my Christian friend.

Proof that our "friend" is a hypocrite and a mental case, see above.\n\nI ask myself every time I read the Bible, what does this mean FOR me.

We are to tell others about Jesus, and how to be saved. We need to be praying, Reading our Bible, and going to church. We need to live our life apart from this world.We are to seek God for His will in our life. Put our faith and Trust in Him. let others see Christ in you. When God saves you, He puts a new song in your heart. A heart that wants to serve Him. let your light shine for Jesus. Watch for the Lord. Be ready. For we knowth not the day,or hour, that He is coming. Yes. I do agree with you. God Bless you.

it sounds like what you are saying is if Jesus was still here on earth today, would he be treated with respect or like crap as he was in his day? and would we just repeat the past and worship him after he is physically dead, now that he is not around to hold us accountable.\n\nHe would definitely be treated like crap. \n\nIf you read the gospels it is pretty clear that Jesus was nonviolent, nonresistant, compassionate and lived simply.\n\nJust look at the people who have respect and power in this world and they are the exact opposite of having Jesus' qualities. \n\nThese people go to war....for stupid reasons..which is violence(jesus was nonviolent) and yet So called christians approve of this along with capital punishment and a variety of other violent means.\n\nThese people don't turn the other cheek. (jesus was Nonresistance). Despite the teachings of turning the other cheek, do the well-respected rulers and so-called heroes in our society really turn the cheek or geniunely forgive...of course not. people who love power usually don't.\n\nAre these well-respected people compassionate? (jesus was compassionate). If they are compassionate, then how can so many people in this world let alone the wealthiest of countries still be dominated by so much poverty and homelessness. And why are there so many bitter divorces (which is also not turning the other cheek or forgiveness) and crime and corrupt leadership and so on....? \n\nAre these Heroes of ours living simply? (Jesus and his followers lived simply, knowing that possesions corrupt and giving is love).\nThis is probably the obvious of all to answer and the one that most christians and others will not be willing to do. eventhough the gospels repeatedly warn of the worshipping of mammon and lost of heavenly rewards by having these things. This is one area that is the most emphasized in the gospels and the one area that is mostly ignored,...for obvious reasons. \n\nSo, would jesus be hated and despised and treated like crap if he were here today?. absolutely...and the evidence is that the one's who are most antichristain(christian being someone who is christlike and christlike being someone who follows a life as explained above)are treated the best in our society and the one's who are most christ-like are treated inferior.\n\nAnd because of this antichristian worshipping that world socities do....they would have to take  the real christ and turn him into an idea the same way that we turn human beings into celebrrties and worship him on our terms not his. Thus making jesus invisible even while visible.

Jesus Christ said: “You heard that it was said, ‘You must love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ However, I say to you: Continue to love your enemies and to pray for those persecuting you.”—Matthew 5:43, 44.\n\nIt was the oral tradition of the Jews that held that ‘hating an enemy’ was the right thing to do. Jesus, however, said we must love our enemy, not just our friend. This is difficult but not impossible. Loving an enemy does not mean liking all his ways or his deeds. The Greek word found in Matthew’s account is derived from a·ga′pe, which describes a love that acts in harmony with principle. The person who manifests a·ga′pe, principled love, does good even to an enemy who hates and mistreats him. Why? Because it is the way to imitate Christ, and it is the way to conquer hatred. One Greek scholar noted: “[A·ga′pe] enables us to conquer our natural tendency to anger and to bitterness.” \n\nThe Christian, by contrast, is under obligation to love his enemies, that is, those who make themselves personal enemies. Such love (Gr., a·ga′pe) is not sentimentality, based on mere personal attachment, as is usually thought of, but is a moral or social love based on deliberate assent of the will as a matter of principle, duty, and propriety, sincerely seeking the other’s good according to what is right. A·ga′pe (love) transcends personal enmities, never allowing these to cause one to abandon right principles and to retaliate in kind. As to those who oppose his Christian course and persecute him, doing so in ignorance, the servant of God will even pray for such that their eyes might be opened to see the truth concerning God and His purposes.—Mt 5:44.

My immediate neighbours are lovely people. I hope they think they same of me! \n\nSomeone wanted to know 'well, who is my neighbour', and Jesus told the story of the Good Samaritan who helped a man traditionally his enemy.  And then asked the questioner which of the three people was the good loving neighbour to the victim; the Jewish rabbi who passed by on the other side of the road, who could have been expected to help, or the Temple assistant who also passed by, or the Samaritan?\n'The Samaritan', was the reply (Samaritans at the time being the really despised enemies of the Jews).  In a way, Jesus was saying don't just love the people who love you....\n\nSo I try, but ain't it hard sometimes!

I can see why you feel this way. I am a Christian but the ones who say they are Christians are they using it as a name tag or are they really saved or not and living the walk instead of just talking the talk? People should not hide the fact that they are Christians or saved either for that matter. But we have to understand as Christians or saved people that sometimes the only Jesus people see is us! Are we doing and living the way Jesus would and treating others the way he would have .... WWJD What would Jesus do is something to ask ourselves before doing anything that may be questionable in God's eyes. Do we treat others the way Jesus would? Sorry I am rambling on here so i will get off my soap box now lol. Sorry! Real Christians should not have affairs either or ever. But we are not perfect either and can slip up and make mistakes and err but we need to get out of it and ask for forgiveness from God and move on and not live any longer that way ! God hates divorce and adultery!

"Just remember that if compassion, love, and unity is not in your belief, than you are a bad person no matter what your belief is." <=== That right there says it all. Christians have lost touch with that because they are so wrapped up in their image...so anything out of place to them is automactically fought against and you can't be like that--rude, uncompassionate, and un-loving. God wouldn't want that so why should you treat others indifferently because of what they believe or what they want to try. \n\nI love you for bringing that up. I'm a christian and I'm not like that at all. So it gets annoying when others are.

The bible states that he uses others in his work so maybe the way it should be read is that he is using one to punish the other.

Jesus may have been what is now termed a liberal when it comes to some social things, but when it comes to morals, Jesus was a conservative.  I should mention that Jesus said that the poor you will always have with you and that we need to go and make disciples rather than trying to only help the poor.  He did say that helping the poor is good, but discipling is the priority.

The religious christians are simply human, that are frail, and make many mistakes, just like everybody else in the world.\nLove and forgive yourself also.  this is what the religious christians should do.  As well as Love and forgive and not judge others, as well.\nWe are all human and make mistakes, even the christians do.  That is why the saying goes around,  "Christians, they are Not perfect, just forgiven !!"\nEveryone in life needs to have acceptance toward others in life,  if acceptance is too difficult for some,  at least have a non judging tolerance for others.\nAnd remember Matthew 6:14, 15  A persons mistakes in life and a person sins are only forgiven by God, only if they forgive other people sins and mistakes and the things others may have said or have done that have hurt them. Part of doing this, is letting go of all resentment toward others.  It is also impt for always to ones best to demeonstrate a loving friendly attitude toward others, both in words and behavior.  but if we fail at times, as we will as the humans we are, we should forgive ourselves and continue on.\nThese are my thoughts on this.\n\nGood Question.   THANK YOU.
