"Sometimes I wonder why Jesus Christ is attacked with such viciousness. I don't know the answer."

He didn't come to be popular.

He also said He didn't come to bring peace, but that He would set father against son and mother against daughter.

Jesus, by His vary nature is by far the most controversial person alive.

His contemporaries were hateful to Him. How much more for those who have never seen Him.

It offends people when you tell them they need to be forgiven of their sins.... And that is simply to be expected.

You cannot expect the unbelievers to be especially gracious in their language toward Christ. Like it or not, He can be very offensive.

Jesus was never offensive except toward the religious system - the Pharasee's represented that system. He had no use for what had become the religious systems of men then, and he has no use for the religious systems of men today. Many of those today call themselves 'Christian'. Look at Jesus Christ, then look for the Jesus Christ-likeness in today's religious systems. Hmmm, I wonder what John's letter to the seven churches in Asia-minor referenced as far as todays world is concerned? Might be we know first hand what the religious systems are from which he writes we should come out.
