Jesus loves me.  Why can't his followers?  I saw this on a shirt one time...?

BRAVO! BRAVO!!\nYou got it that right, for sure!  I have spent the last 15 years of my life in Bible study and enjoying that relationship with God, \nand studying prophecy, etc - even the Biblical languages --BUT:\nI do not attend any church. Why?  Because the churches are so steeped in the traditions of man, and church systems that they are biblically illiterate.  If they knew what the Word really says, and lived by it, they would not be judging anybody to hell.  They  make a divorced person sit in the back pew and treat them as a second-class christian, for example, when the Bible does not declare divorce a sin - adultery is the sin, not divorce.  And,\nupon repentance it is wiped away-gone- God doesn't even want it brought up again in prayer.  And, a person is free then to re-marry.  Salvation isn't free, it was bought with an awesome price,\nso that with repentance we could be free in Christ.  Sometimes I wonder where they do get some of their nonsense from - I can tell you - it certainly isn't from God.  Mans traditions make void the Word of God.  God states that a Christian who acts "holier than thou" is like a smoke in his nose - do you know what you do when smoke gets in your nose? You get rid of it.

So, that guy will kick the crap out of the loin cloth dude, but not a guy wearing a robe saying he is Jesus? Well, good thing he's got it all figured out.\n\nGive the guy some clothes and ask him if he is hungry. Jesus is no different than you or I. We are all exactly the same spirit and seen exactly the same as Jesus in God's eyes. If you treat Jesus better than you treat your fellow man then you are a hypocrite.

People want Christ to look like them, so they can relate. I don't know what He really looked like, but I think when we see Him again, everyone will recognize him. Since the Bible says we are made in the image of God, perhaps we will each see God the way we want.

Why are you judging others on what they are wearing?  God does love them, and probably doesn't like how they dress - but what is that to you?  God tells us to love unconditionaly our neighbour as ourselves, and that means looking past the outer into their inner being.  It's not up to you to become the morality police, it's your job to stand for what you believe in, and influence others by your actions, not words.

Thinking of the Bill Hicks stand up, that the last thing Jesus would want to see would be a cross... when they start wearing fishes then I'll come back :o)\nGotta be Buddy Christ... \nSo it is with great pleasure that I present you with the first of many revamps the "Catholicism WOW. " campaign will unveil over the next year. I give you... The Buddy Christ. Now that's not the sanctioned term we're using for the symbol, just something we've been kicking around the office, but look at it. Doesn't it... pop? Buddy Christ...

I have to agree with the previous poster that no, Christians do not love as they ought.\nThe fact that we fail however, does not negate the commandment, or mean that we don't make it our goal in life to love even our enemies with a perfect love.\n\nNow, this begs a question, what does loving your enemy look like in real life? Does loving your enemy mean that you put yourself in harms way by trusting them not to hurt you? I don't think so. Does it mean to have warm gooshy feelings for them? again, I don't think so.\nLoving your enemy means that you wish the best for them, as a Christian, the best we could possibly wish for someone is that they too would come into the relationship with God that we enjoy. If that is rejected, the next best thing is that they enjoy good things in this life because they will surely have nothing to enjoy in the afterlife. (Luke 16:19-31) Not only does loving your enemy mean that you wish the best for them, but it also means that you activly engage in things that will directly benefit them.\nIn the case of Bin Laden, I also have to weigh out the fact that I am commanded to love the other 6 Billion people on the planet, and since Bin Laden is actively engaged in harming many people (he has never done anything against me personally), I should support efforts to express love to my fellow-man by putting a stop to Bin Laden's activities.\nPersonally, I desire to see Bin Laden come to a saving and redeeming knowledge of Jesus Christ, but failing that, or until that happens, the most loving thing I can do is desire to his terrorist activities halted by whatever means possible.

I take a firm stand on the Truth in the bible about Jesus,  not this book or movie which made the terrible scandels against Jesus.... I know they are  fictions but dangerous to  steal the faiths from people. God will judge people who had done that which hurt their faiths.  I stand for Jesus as the Son of God! He is the Lord of my life! God loves you all very mucha dn God can forgive them their sins if they ask Him and to repent, it'd be wonderful.

Yep, more than likely.  Can you imagine people embracing a man who claims to be Jesus, can perform on the spot miracles , rose from the dead, etc?  Not many people would take a word of it seriously and would chalk it off to the ravings of a lunatic.\n\nFor all we know Jesus HAS been alive, walking our streets and being ridiculed.  People are so firm in their belief but refuse to entertain the possibility that a man who supposedly can do such miraculous deeds is unable to be alive today.  Those same people look to their priest or pastor and have no problem believing that god spoke to them in order to pass along his message(s).  Who made the rule that god can't speak to just regular people?\n\nAs for you saying that god spoke to you, if that is your truth, then that's the truth!  You just have to be careful in who you decide to tell.

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.

Regardless of whether Jesus was a real guy, I think that the meme we see today was started by Peter and Paul.  It seems unlikely that Jesus could have come up with all of that stuff about eternal salvation on his own.

I prefer not to even use the word following. Belive that He is the Christ, the Savior, doesn't count u as a "follower". I prefer to use the term Friend. He says, "You are not my servant. Does a servant know everything about his master? No. I confide in you, so you are not my servant. You are my friend". That verse really tells me that He wants me to be His friend. Not His "follower". I belive that if you really want to be a Seeker, that you have to be His friend. Not His follower. He wants us to be friends. Not those in a democracy. We are in His kingdom, yes, but He loves us enough that He listens to us. Believe that sister. It is truth, because He said it. And He does not lie. I hope this helps your walk w/ God, and may He bless you beyond you ability to comprehend.

What is wrong with wearing a symbol of your faith?  I do (I'm not a Christian).  Some Jews wear the Star of David.  Some Wiccans wear a pentacle.  Why are you singling out Christians?
