Why is the name of Jesus & God so offensive to people

[Sinbad]

OK I've been out and about to day saying hello to people which is fine however if I'm leaving an establishment I'll say God Bless see you next time but they look at you as if you're not the full shiln

[simplejeff]

The world, and all the anti-christs among us,  hate Jesus, hate God, hate God's Word, and hate God's children. 

Perhaps many multitudes of others , those potentially not lost forever,  so rarely see God's children in their lives,  they don't understand or know how to respond.

Because it causes them to think about their mortality and the possibility that there is a GOD whom they will have to answer to Him. That is unless their conscious has already been seared, in which they are just haters.

I think it is because knowing Jesus or God requires one to make changes in their life that many do not want to make.

Maybe it reminds them of their eternity?

John 15:18-25 New King James Version (NKJV)

¹⁸ “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. ¹⁹ If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.²⁰ Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. ²¹ But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. ²² If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. ²³ He who hates Me hates My Father also. ²⁴ If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father. ²⁵ But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’

 

When those who does the will of the enemy like promote false doctrines attack me and hates me, I know I'm in with the right company. It's only when they're nice and tries to befriend me, than I know I'm doing something wrong against God and has become a prey to their deceptions.

It should be no offense to Jews or Muslims but much of the Western world is so secularized in their thinking it causes a double-take when the word 'God' is brought up ...and because of our 'all inclusiveness' it raises the ire of many when the name 'Jesus' is spoken...unless it is cussed.

Have to agree with that.   The JESUS most our churches preach SURE DONT SOUND A THING LIKE THE GOD in old testament.

YET HE IS AND WAS.   I know.   This don't make much sense to many.  But truly I SEE no difference in the approach OF GOD , the prophets , JESUS , the apostles

and even the JESUS which spoke to JOHN from heaven.     SAME ONE IDENTICAL  in the apostes SAME SPIRIT

WHERE I see WAY different GOD and JESUS approach IS THE MASSES OF CHURCHES VIEWS........it seems like so many different versions today and their version

sounds NOTHNG LIKE the REAL DEAL I SEE IN THE BIBLE .

[frienduff thaylorde]

So my question is WHY do we think this is.   Cause GOD don't change .    SO why so many different views about WHO GOD IS

and why don't it match the GOD in the B   I   B    L    E   .   that should be scary to many .

Maybe there is a bit of a different approach with the Church than Israel...different responsibilities too.

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. (Joh 3:17)
 

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age." (Mat 28:19-20)
 

 

That is the beauty of it.  Where did the grave prophets in old time condmen any.  THEY DID NOT , the message from GOD was ALWAYS REPENT .

just like the message from the son was .  their approach was and is IDENTICAL.  Grave often, but the desire is repentance and faith , not destruction .

Their is no difference in how the apostels were grave and warned as well.    I SEE the same GOD and HIS SPIRIT operating IDENTICAL from the old test and through it all.

SO , where has this grave serious approach went .    Where is the GOD who hates sin , yet desires not the death of the sinner but rather they repent GONE ........

I don't see no message on sin as evil, nor a message on CHRIST in most anymore.    How often DID jesus rebuke , heck he even smashed tables and whipped them out .

How often was paul grave and warned , Even the message to the seven churches was showing How GOD hates evil, YET at the same time , warns because HE does not desire

them to perish.   WHERE has this gone.    the SPIRIT sure don't change, GOD does not Change , thus the approach of being both grave and compassionate should not change.

What has happened is that leaven has run its course due to no correction and now its all inclusive , CEPT for the truth .    We farther along than most dare even realize.

Good answers, I agree with a majority of them.

It boils down to a misalignment of His way of life and their way of life.
