Years agone I read the mass "They Like Jesus But Not the Church."* It had to a greater extent than or less valid points virtually the agency nosotros Christians tin brand the Gospel unattractive past times clumsy remarks together with rude attitudes.
But the book's basic premise was flawed. It suggested that people volition similar us if nosotros human activeness to a greater extent than similar Jesus.
But that's non Scriptural.
We should travail to speak the Truth inward love. But fifty-fifty when nosotros do, our message volition locomote neither culturally acceptable nor tolerant of sin. If it is, nosotros volition lead keep ceased to locomote representatives of Christ.
Jesus made people angry...so angry they killed him.
And it wasn't simply the self-righteous religious people who hated Jesus. Anyone who refused to convey God's Definition of sin hated Jesus (John 7:7). If nosotros desire to locomote similar the truthful Jesus inward Scripture, they volition loathe us also (1 John 3:13).
“You volition locomote hated past times everyone because of me, but the i who stands theater to the destination volition locomote saved." Matthew 10:22
