As you should, but once they reject it, you should have nothing to do with them.

Then you are spreading the Lords Word.

Acts 12:24 But the word of God grew and multiplied.
Acts 19:20 So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.

Re: how do yall consider yourself christian

so you say only love other christians then how should other christians witness to other non christians if christians should hate them so much?

That's a very good question. God does want us to preach to all the nations, but once they reject His temporary sacrifice, there are verses for that as well.

Mark 6:11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.


If someone brings false doctrine, you aren't to have anything to do with them.


2 John 1:10-11 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

Re: how do yall consider yourself christian

Oh sure, why don't we make up whatever we feel like. You know what, I think I like Brother Dewitts house better than mine, so excuse me while I take up my ancestors religions and go Viking on his property. It's my religious right to take his property and pillage his staff.

Excuse me, I'll be in my prayer closet.

2:4 As the Flying Spaghetti Monster said through the Buddha, “Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.”

Would such an action agree with your own reason and common sense Ms BIG?
Somehow I don't think it would.

Romans 12:10 10Love one another with brotherly affection [as members of one family], giving precedence and showing honor to one another.

God wants us to love everyone

Sister B.I.G is correct.

What Bible are you reading from, my King James says;

Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

That's only among fellow Christians. Paul also says..

3:5 The lessons of Mohandas Ghandi, Nelson Mandela, Voltaire, Plato and Socrates are all lessons of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Oh my, it's telling us to love our Brothers in Christ. Doesn't say anything about loving unsaved trash.

Re: how do yall consider yourself christian

How can you say that? It's clear that God does hate some nations. Take the example of the Canaanites.

Leviticus 20:23 And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

Here we have another example of a nation God hates.

Hosea 9:15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.

David writes about God.

Psalm 5:5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

Re: how do yall consider yourself christian

We do not judge others, that is for God to do. All we do is point out how God would be displeased with the actions of others according to His word, as dictated in the Bible.
