    People don't hate christian, they hate the people that say they are christian. In other words you can not look upon christ and hate him, the true christian have christ in him, therefore they can not be hated. The true christian do not hate people, only the christion that say they are christian hate people.

      Sorry, but that's flawed circular reasoning.
      Many people hated Christ.  Does that mean He wasn't truthful and holy?  Nope.

        No one hate Christ, but the Devil. If you hate, you on the Devil's side. Do God hate Yes! He hates human's action not humans. By what they do you shall know him, who they truly are.

      People hate the fact that people claim to be Christian and when all said and done, their actions don't back up their claim. No one likes a liar.
      One out of 1 billion might actually truly walk the path of Jesus. The rest....just love to claim they do.

    Why is there "hate", it is all about intolerance and lack of brotherhood.  Religions are many paths all to the same Infinite Power, but all they can see is what they think are the differences between "us" and "them."  We are all interconnected.

      livelongerposted 13 years agoin reply to this

      There is more than one way, Brenda. One way is to follow everything Christ instructed.

      Another way: an adulterer can repent, and then go on to continue to commit adultery, and still claim to be a follower of Christ. Repentance, if really heartfelt and sincere, can give you free license to go on and repeat the same sin you repented for.

      I agree that some people will ignore or run from the truth, even when presented to them right in their face.

    Christian churches are no different than government. They impose taxes(title, offering) without reporting where money really goes. Fellowship = moneyship. Books, paraphernalia, etc.

    Also, the crusade spread the so-called Christianity not by faith but by force probably resulting to the greatest number of human rights violations in the history of the world.

    Early Christians were so crafty they created a heaven for the poor to hope for.

    The rich was all like this: 'Do you really need a second life just to be bored with happiness? Make the best out of a lifetime and don't end up wishing for a second one'.

    This was the case for all those years while the so-called Church leaders eat off others' hard work.

    When many christians themselves claim they are the only ones with the truth and everybody who rejects it is rebellious, immoral and deserves to be destroyed, I can see why that attitude would bite them right back. I think the first mistake is to assume that anyone in this world can have the whole truth, either theists or atheists, but that's my more-and-more-agnostic mind speaking, so, sorry about that. I want to be as objective as possible, here.

      I do believe that Christ came to die for our sins, and i do believe if you go against God's commands, you will spend after-life in Hell. That is my believe. I do not believe anyone deserves to be destroyed. As a Christian I believe everyone should not perish, but have everlasting life. I don't want to kill someone because they sin, I want to help them change their life. Believe it or not, Christ's commandments are not to punish us or keep us from having fun. They are to help us. Forgiveness, Love, Purity, Kindness, Respect, Compassion, Patience, all these things are not bad. And I most certainly do not profess to know everything. lol! That would be me trying to be God.

    Christians hate people? Wow!

    Christ is about love, all who follow Him will be led to this transformation of heart. For some it is quick, for some a long process.

    There are many reasons to why someone may hate a Christian, fortunately it doesn't matter. A faithful follower of Christ is taught to love even when they are persecuted!

    " If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world it would love you as its own.  As it is you do not belong to the world but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. If they persecuted me they will persecute you"

      True. Christianity is about loving one another, and I really do appreciate the basic principles that Christ laid down in the Bible. However, at least in some Christian denominations, the love they express is distorted. Jehovah's Witnesses, for example, shun every baptized member that chooses to leave their religion "because they love them and want them to realize their mistake". In the end, what they are really doing is emotional blackmail - not true love. The same can be said about Mormons, as another example. I have the feeling that, unless people choose to simply consider themselves Christians, instead of belonging to one specific religion, the love they might feel will always be conditional to some extent. Then, the non-religious folks may generalize and assume that every spiritual person is like that, just like many religious folks make pretty broad and unfounded assumptions about agnostics and atheists (or even, just anyone that doesn't follow their particular faith).

    I did not say Christian s don't hate.  I said that the Bible says that Christ and His followers will be hated.  Now Do you recall that God hated Esau?  Do you recall John 3:16?  And how about John 3:17?  You do realize that whosoever believth finds eternal life and whoever does not believe is condemned.  Perhaps Christ hates those he condemns.  OTOH, he may love those who have condemned themselves.  Sin has its own consequences.  Doesn't matter what you believe.  If you lie, cheat, steal, opr violate those comandments, you will pay the price.  You reap what you sow.

      Here are the reasons why.
      1. Free will verses the concept of faith that claims they no longer have free will but do so by serving Gods purpose any way. This was a requirement to meet God and not be a robot and but actual real freedom.
      2. The inability to separate Gods purpose and message from Earthly agendas and Gods true purpose.
      3. the inability to teach spiritual maturity and growth. We forget life is incredibly short, we live in a World where free will must exist and we stop growing and promoting a World that provides sanctuary for everyone.
      4. We serve as an example by serving what is good and by providing truth. Not by condemning others, serving Earthly purposes and such agendas, but by allowing others the short time before our deaths to seek God on their own and mature.
      5. Most of all we fail to mature spiritually and forget that life on Earth can not be claimed or ruled by men of God, because so few of us will ever mature in time to save our own selves.
