Yes Jesus did say that we are supposed to love God with all our heart and he did note this to be the most important command ever and Jesus did say that we are supposed to love others and treat them how we would normally treat ourselves (2nd most important commandment) and alot of Christians especially new ones do get on peoples nerves for not being Christians. The time when it offends their friends who are athiests is when Christians are all obnoxious (if that's how you spell it). Being obnoxious (meaning to be annoying and stuff like that) will get on anyones nerves. I used to try to force my faith on a few friends which are athiests alot. Sure they got ticked off about it, but I realized that I should have shared my faith in Jesus to them in a kind and merciful way. Jesus was never obnoxious about everything otherwise his 12 disciples would've never gone near him. Of course Christians will also criticize people quite often. But Jesus did say in Matthew Chapter 7 that if you judge others, then you will also be judged. For instance if you see a speck of dirt in someone's eye, do you have the nerve to put an accusing finger at that person or say "Let me wash your face for you" even though you have a huge log in your own eye? First get rid of the log in your own eye, then you may be able to offer a wash cloth to another person. It doesn't mean that you may be able to point an accusing finger at someone, it just means that you may offer a wash cloth to someone. In case you don't know what the speck in the persons eye is or what the log in your own eye represents, it represents sin. Listen I don't know everything there is to know and I don't know all your answers. I just try to answer questions as best as I can. The reason why I'm stating this is because I may answer questions like as if I know everything, but I will admit, I don't.

Q

In history and most most even today, Christians are hostile to the Jewish people. What is you view on this?

A

If they were real Christians who really knew their Bibles and obeyed the Word of God, they would love Israel. Why? Because first of all, Yahweh God chose Israel to be His people (Deuteronomy 7:7). He calls Israel mine elect in Isaiah 42:2 and Isaiah 65:9, 22. Yahweh God chose Israel to be His Bride (Jeremiah 3:!4), just like the Church is the Bride of the Lord Jesus Christ (Revelation 19:7). And then, finally God says, whosoever touches you Israel, touches the apple of mine eye (Zechariah 2:8). I think we can deduct from that that God loves His people and we Christians should as well

Q

If the "Creator" wishes to punish me for using my free-thought and believing in the science He Himself created, let his do so

A

The "Creator" gives us right to have free thought. God does not tell us not to think freely. Sure. I believe in Science too. I don't believe the evolution theory. But ever notice that there's a missing link in the science theory? The scientists can't figure out for sure that we actually came from apes. But the Bible has perfect explanations to where we came from. But of course, using science to figure out how the human body works and stuff like that, why would God have anything against that? Besides. God doesn't want to punish us for anything. We just need to accept the forgiveness of Jesus Christ and we can spend eternity with Jesus. Think about it. A free gift of eternal life in a paradise.

Q

The war that is going on in Israel, will it get worse?

A

Right now we are at the time of Zechariah's prediction in chapter 12, verse 2 where he calls Jerusalem a cup of trembling or fear, and in verse 3 a burdensome stone. We have talked about Iran and Iraq. Iraq defenitely wants to aim its missiles at Israel and blow them off the face of the earth. In Iran, the past president said that he wanted to nuke Israel and the present president has said that he wants to destroy Israel, to remove them, to set up the Palestinian State. At that is the goal of these nations. And guess what... It's predicted in the Psalm 83:4 Let us cast them off from being a nation that the name of Israel be no more remembered." But you know what? The antichrist is waiting in the wings. Yes, I believe he is alive, just like Pope John Paul II and Cardinal Ratzinger recently said. Now, when the Middle East is in a state of perplexity and confusion, as it is presently, and the Palestinians have just received 50 tons of weapons to use against Israel from Iran. At such a moment, a leader arises out of the European Union (Daniel 9:26), he comes to power on a peace platform (Daniel 11:21,24), and actually confirms the peace for one period of seven years (Daniel 9:27), and all the world is saying "Peace! Peace!" (Jeremiah 6:14). But when they say peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them as travails on a woman with child. They shall not escape. It is then that Russia and her allies say "Let us go against them that are at peace (Joel 2:20), and they are pushed back to Siberia. Then China comes down, and finally all nations come against Jerusalem (Zechariah 14:2)

Q

Here's how I live my life. I believe there might be a God, not the God in the Christian bible, but just a God. I'm not going to spend every day of my life praising something that might not even be there! Be realistic, think about things such as evolution and things that are scientifically proven and that have evidence. Believe what you can see. And one more thing, I want to know why "God" let Sept. 11 happen.

A

Okay. If I wanted to, I could say "I believe there might be a Bhudda, but not the Bhudda which Bhuddists believe in". (I don't mean to offend and Bhuddists out there) and besides why do people take God or Jesus' name in vain instead of Bhudda or all those other Gods people believe in. People may say "Cause taking Bhuddas name in vain sounds stupid". But it also sounds stupid to me that people who don't believe in Jesus take his name in vain. Anyway what's wrong if people praise Jesus Christ? It's who Christians believe in. And any God who sends his only son to die for us is a God who truly loves us. And every time evolutionists talk about religion and how it's all wrong, they mainly talk about Christianity being wrong. The only time they ever mention Hinduism or anything else like that is only to help them prove Christianity being wrong. They say such things like "How do we know Shintoism's not right?". But it's always mainly Christianity which people are so up against. Think about that. People ask "Why did God let sept 11 happen?" Well anyway how come no athiest says "How come the Cyrus (which ever God that is let Sept 11 happen? Anyway if God took our right to sin away, then why send Jesus to die for us? If God is going to force us to be perfect, then why send his only son to die for us? There will be no sin to die for because God would be forcing us not to sin. Some of you may think, "If God loves us so much, why create hell?" Well all of us have sinned and fell short of God's glory, so hell has a right to us. If Jesus never died for us, hell would be the only place anyone could go. But God loved us so much to actually give us another way. He sent Jesus to die on the Cross for our sins. And God won't force us to accept that, because love isn't love at all unless we have a right to reject it. Think about it.

Q

Okay how come so many christians always think they're better than everyone else? Alot of Christians are hypocrites. How come they're like this?

A

Christians aren't better than everyone else. Christians are people who believe that Jesus died on the cross for their sins and they allow Jesus to be lord and savior of their lives. You said "Alot of Christians are hypocrites". Well alot of people from those religions out there can be hypocrites also, but people think nothing of it. Also, not all Christians are hypocrites. You said that Alot of them were. That doesn't mean that all of them are.
