Jesus Hates...

as a pastor I will say that Jesus does not hate there is no writing on him in hate at all i think more what if any thing he loves the sinner but hates the sin maybe the people are trying to say or relay

Christ and the money changers - you could maybe make a case that he hated what they were doing, if not necessarily that he hated them. I suppose some of the more intolerant Christian groups have taken up residence in North America. Maybe they should all go back to the old country. :D

Those who keep telling people that Jesus Loves..., while keep silent about what Jesus hates, are in fact good marketers that seeks more converts, but they are not telling people the other side because the other side doesn't serve in that purpose, and here the other side: in Matthew 15:26 Jesus called the Canaanite woman a dog, and the poor woman admitted being a dog to request healing for her daughter. in Matthew 3:7 O generation of vipers in Matthew 23:17 Ye fools and blind in Matthew 16:23 and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan in Luke 24:25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken in Matthew 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine in Luke 19:27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. in Mark 11:14 Jesus cursed the fig tree for no fault it, Just because the amazing Christian god (supposed to be all knowing) didn't know that it was not the time of figs. in John 2:15 he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple. in Luke 14:26 explained how can someone be his disciple (absurd) in Matthew 10:34 the prince of peace (Jesus) never come for peace!! see also Luke 12:49 in Luke 22:36 and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one the list will goes if we considered Jesus the god of the old testament either, more horrific commands including the killing of innocent children, but as I said, this is the other side of the story, and this side doesn't serve in seeking converts.

Interesting question. Since I believe the Christ was God incarnate, ( "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.") and Proverbs lists things that YHWH hates, yes Jesus does indeed 'hate', just not the person doing these things, but the deeds themselves. Hence we get the saying, hate the sin, not the sinner. Proverbs 6:16-19 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaks lies, and he that sows discord among brethren.

Maybe the reason they said that is because when their lives do not turn out the way they want it to be, they blame it on God or Jesus. They think that Jesus is a genie who would grant all their wishes. They don't search for God's will, but it's their own will that's according to the flesh, and worldly things that they want. They won't care about God's words and teachings, they just live their lives, and if mistfortunes happen they think that God was responsible.

When you read about Jesus cursing that fig tree can you call it hate ? Or when you read Matthew 25:41 or when Jesus uses a whip. If hate is the opposite for accepting a lie or a bad behavior then yes Jesus hates and in this case the North Americans are right.

I had a snappy answer all set to type, but it snapped right out of my brain... I guess because so many Americans seem to have a "personal relationship" with the man, they think they know everything about him.

Hi p1kef1sh, You are absolutely right. One can read the Bible as much as they like but Jesus never said that he hated. Others may have said it for him because some churches seem to thrive on hate. Blessings.

I think that ones that say Jesus hates, wouldn't say that if they rally knew him and what he can do for them. It so sad that people feel that way too. Jes is Love, as he loves the whole world and everyone in it. I don't know what I would do without Jesus or his love, as he has helped me in many ways, and ahe always shows his love for me whether my prayers are answered or not. I swish more people kniew Jesus and his love for them. Take care, and may god bless you.

I think I might've STARTED a few of those groups (although I might've put it more like 'Jesus IS MAD AT Christians' or 'Jesus is an Atheist' or 'God Is Finished Answering Prayers'). And you're right, He DOESN'T hate us. He doesn't LOVE US ENOUGH to hate us! Hate is more like a jealousy you have when things you WOULD love don't turn out the way you WOULD love them. Jesus' "love" for us is more like an 'indifference' (He "shows His love" by 'not giving us the punishment we know we deserve' )

There is a list of sins Christ hates found in Prov 6:16-17.

" who preached love and forgiveness, actually hated anything " --- did you mean Jesus hated anything? It seems not logical to me,, that Jesus hated anything, but Jesus gets angry, even the Father in heaven gets angry, because of evil doers, transgressors of the law, how can you say that Jesus hated anything?
