@Brent cv,
its actually Jesus people have the problem with. Just the mention of his name brings hatred. Liberals usually display that hatred of Jesus much more than conservatives do. I don't expect people to understand because they can't. The Bible says those without the spirit can't understand it.
1Corinthians 1:18-25
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written:
"I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."
20Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.
I don't post this stuff to make any waves.. I don't have to..God's word is offensive to those who reject the message of Jesus. It brings the hatred out of those who are hostile towards Him.
I never posted a thing to anyone that was written in anger.. I only posted scripture, which brought the response that was written to me earlier. The word itself exposes darkness and what it contains to the light. The Bible is alive, not just words written on paper.
The thing about Jesus is that He loves each one of us exactly the way we are, He just loves us too much to let us stay that way.
Ask yourselves something.. why is Christianity reviled so much more compared to other religions? To me, its because Satan is real, alive and working to destroy all that God cherishes. Thats why you see nativity scenes protested against.. or the 10 commandments.. or the words "In God we trust" printed on our money.. or Prayer taken out of school. Satan is alive and working against anything God deems Holy. God will defeat him, it's already been written.
