why are these?

[therese14]

Why does people hate Jesus and his saints while they are such lovable figures?

Especially moslem people, they are taught to hate Christians as if we are a virus, why are they so blind?

How can people be so blind for something that’s good to them such as God?

People are conditioned to hate and target things that they don’t understand.

They hate people who are different, and people who oppose their views or believe something different.

Most of all, they hate things they are afraid of.

I think it’s also to do with- Christianity demands that people change. It demands that people recognize they are sinners, and that they turn away from that sin. It demands they love people they don’t want to love, that they give up selfishness, and that they forgive people they don’t want to forgive. And the reality is that many things that “feel good” are actually sins. More importantly, it teaches us to give up our self-rule and turn our lives over to God. It’s a hard teaching, and people reject it violently because if they even entertain the thought that it might be true they would then have to think about changing themselves.

“Before they persecuted you, they persecuted me first.” Jesus knew the trials and tribulations that many of his followers would face in the future.

I wouldn’t say ALL muslims hate christians. There is certainly an element who are driven by it e.g. ISIS and other groups who foster hatred. In a region where many are already poor and marginalised this type of doctrine is appealing. They also capitalise on the destruction, death and chaos the wars in which USA, UK and their allies have conducted in muslim-majority countries.

In a perverse kind of way, we (the western world) are indirectly and partially responsible for the creation, membership and rise of groups such as ISIS.

Muslims believe in the teachings of Mohammed who adopted many Christian beliefs, and are in agreement with Catholicism on many doctrines, on the One God, on His providence, and even the devil. But Mohammed did not believe in the Incarnation, or the Blessed Trinity, so it became a great heresy that endures to this day. The Catholic Church could see the harm it could do, and we are seeing it every day in the wars, and killings going on in the name of Allah. They hold that Jesus is not God, the second Person of the Trinity, He was born of a woman, therefore human, holy, a prophet sent by God, but not God. If Jesus’ divinity is denied, which is at the center of our beliefs, and we believe that He was sent by the Father to redeem mankind from the works of Satan, then what security do they have from Satan’s works. Yes they believe in God, but not in His Son. Salvation comes only through Jesus, so Mohammed is regarded as a greater prophet, then Jesus, who is not only the Greatest Prophet, but also God. The Church fought this heresy for centuries for good reason because she understood how misleading it was, and what trouble it would cause the faithful, and people in general in the future. The Muslims are not to blame, because they believe in what they were taught as the truth. The danger in a half-truth is that the part that is the truth makes the part that is not the truth apparently more acceptable. The children suffer from the mistakes of their fathers. Hopefully this new generation will finally see the complete truth, and will experience a wonderful change, for them and for us. The devil knows how to manipulate men, and without Jesus Christ he will continue to do so.
