Did you read my previous post?

I said that I think the church should be in those neighborhoods actually helping people. There are soup kitchens that Christians can serve food at. There are aids clinics that need help. There are lots of ways Christians can actually show Christian love to these people.

Christ actually helped people who were sinners. He was kind and compassionate to those he disagreed with.

“He was kind and compassionate to those he disagreed with”

OK...

“Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?”
Luke 12:56

That sounds real compassionate.

If you will take the time to read,

Matthew 14:14, 15:32, 20:34, Mark 1:41, 5:19 & 6:34

You will find that the only people Jesus was recorded to have compassion for were those who came to him, not those who rejected him (They will spend eternity in the lake of fire, that’s not very compassionate)

If one will read the Bible one will begin to realize that the long haired soft spoken Jesus they are tickled with on Sunday mornings is not the Jesus of the Bible.

Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read...
Isaiah 34:16

Ask, and it shall be given you; “seek, and ye shall find”; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and “he that seeketh findeth”; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. (Quotations mine)
Matthew 7:7-8

Your comments appear to be fixated upon and obsessed with one particular aspect of Christianity to the exclusion of all others. Not that they are wrong, necessarily, but incomplete and and tilted like if you look through a colored lens instead of a clear one. Jesus spoke and acted differently in different situations. He wasn’t “Jesus the Compassionate” or any particular outward demeanor in all situations.
