Love of "christians"

I wish the self-righteous, hateful people who call themselves 'christians' would shut up. They spout off everything that really is against what Christ is all about, all the while being exactly what they should be fighting against. Here is the thing, I do believe homosexuality is a sin, but so is my use of bad language, so is the lust that I think about when I see a  beautiful woman. I am a sinner, we all are, but Jesus did not do what he did, did not give up everything he had, all his glory, power and majesty for people to picket people who they disagree with, hate on people of other beliefs, sexual tendencies, or skin color. Jesus did NOT come to condemn anyone. He came to show them the eternal LOVE of God.

Take a look at John 3:16-17:

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

So if Jesus came to save the world not condemn it, where do these 'christians' get off condemning all of these people they disagree with? This really gets me angry when they claim to follow Jesus but show nothing of love, kindness, mercy, of anyone other than themselves. What did Jesus do when a woman, who was CAUGHT in the act of adultery, was brought before him. The leaders of the day were calling for her to be dealt with.

7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
11 “No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

So, now that you read that, what did Jesus do? He ignored them and went on with his teaching. After being bugged more about it, he told them, if they are sinless, then they can stone her. Of course no one was sinless, so they left, the mob defeated by love. Jesus said straight up to her, "I do not condemn you, now go and don't do it again." I paraphrase of course, but still, Jesus showed to her the love of God, and the forgiveness God has for our sin.

So if Jesus can forgive a woman like that, why can't his 'followers?' I put quotations around these words because from how people act, it is fairly clear they are not Christians at all. That is a rather bold claim and maybe even a rude one, but anyone who berates and demeans another human being and still somehow tries to claim the name of the Lord, knows very little of the Lord and what love is.

Jesus never talked about how bad the sinners were, most often he would tell them they are forgiven and to go and sin no more. What he frequently spoke out against was the leaders of the church, like the pharisees and other leaders of the community.  And like some 'churches' out there now, Jesus would have actively gone after them because they are worse than the average sinner, they are the ones who are leading people away from Jesus and his holy love.

We need to get out there and let these people, who are crushing people because they are so full of hate, know that we as Christians will no longer accept what they are doing. We need to get in there and show them how wrong they are, how hate is never the way, nor should ever even be a choice. We need to get back in there and show them the love Jesus had for sinners, and the world.

Let us raise our voices louder and stronger than the horrible people who still call themselves christians, and show the world who real Christians are. Show them that you and me are different because of our love. We will fight the false teachers because we must. Jesus is our King, we are at war against sin, and though I do not believe any one sin is worse than another, but there are some that are louder than others, and hate and intolerance of any person that is different than you is the loudest. So, my friends, let's go silence the loud-mouthed folks and show the world real, compassionate, God filled love!
